Patient's question:
I am a middle-aged man who has been experiencing frequent nighttime urination lately. There is also some pain in the perineal area. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and it was found that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia, with a significantly enlarged prostate. Is this serious?Doctor's answer:
According to your current condition, it is advisable to consider prostatitis caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia rather than true prostatitis. Actively treat and prevent the relief of this serious condition. It is recommended that you visit a professional urology department for a thorough examination of the prostate, including bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests, to restore normal health.Based on your description, your condition is caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia, leading to nocturia, severe perineal pain, lower abdominal fullness, and lower back muscle soreness. The structure of the prostate is complex, so direct medication is often difficult to penetrate. Specific treatment should be determined based on the volume of your benign prostatic hyperplasia. Options may include medication, instrumental treatment, or physical therapy.
In daily life, pay attention to your diet: avoid spicy, irritating, and extremely cold, greasy foods. Stick to a light diet and drink plenty of water.
