Patient's question:
I don't like activities much, and I don't care much about getting a little injured, so I've always thought I was very healthy. But last year, when I was preparing to get married and have a child, I found it difficult. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and found that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), so I've been treating it ever since. I want to ask what foods should be avoided with benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a disease that most men have. This condition doesn't need to cause great concern; its main symptoms are some urinary frequency and urgency. If this issue reappears, the first step is to stabilize one's living conditions—avoid smoking, drinking too much beer, and prolonged sitting. If the fibrosis of the prostate shows no symptoms, oral medication may not be necessary, but some traditional Chinese medicines like goji berries and astragalus can be consumed. Prostate hyperplasia can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment.
