Patient's question:
Xiao Zhang is my best friend, and we are about the same age. We have a good friendship and often eat dinner together. Recently, I heard that he has a prostate lump and has difficulty urinating. Sometimes it also hurts. What should be done about a prostate lump?Doctor's answer:
Prostate mass, first and foremost, requires confirming the cause of the mass. The most common causes include benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatic cysts, prostatic tumors, and prostate cancer. After identifying the cause, targeted treatment can be selected based on the specific condition. During treatment, it is essential to maintain good habits for prostate health, such as avoiding beer, massage, prolonged sitting, drinking more water, frequent urination, and a light diet. For patients with prostate mass, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications.
