Patient's question:
I have been taking Harle and Proscar for over ten years due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Now, my symptom of nocturia 1-2 times per night has become less noticeable. Recently, a thorough examination showed the size to be approximately 4.7x4.3x4.4 cm. Can I take Harle alone and stop taking Proscar? There is a current view that if Proscar is taken and prostate cancer develops, the malignancy level may be higher. Please advise the experts, thank you!Doctor's answer:
The prostate is a male reproductive organ that surrounds the urethra. As age increases, it may undergo fibrosis and hyperplasia. Based on your description, it is recommended to focus on taking Harlow and Proscar in the prescribed dosage. Proscar is a medication used to treat prostate cancer. In addition to timely treatment, patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia should also pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in daily life. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover more quickly from this condition.
