Patient's question:
Hello, my father has benign prostatic hyperplasia, which has been going on for almost a year. Recently, he has been urinating more frequently, about 4 to 5 times a night, and also more during the day. He keeps needing to urinate. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, frequent urination and increased nocturia are common symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This condition does not have a specific cause and is a common disease among elderly men. It can generally be stabilized through traditional Chinese medicine treatment. BPH can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, patients should pay close attention to self-care, including eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding irritating foods. It is hoped that patients with BPH can receive professional treatment.
