Patient's question:
There is prostate enlargement and a history of hematuria. I went to the hospital, where the doctor inserted a catheter, administered intravenous fluids for anti-inflammation, and said that surgery would be performed after all indicators returned to normal. However, I still feel uncomfortable and constantly want to go to the bathroom. The doctor said it is bladder spasm. Is there any method to reduce some of the pain?Doctor's answer:
An elderly male with benign prostatic hyperplasia may experience difficulty urinating. In severe cases, if medication is ineffective, surgery may be necessary. The patient has already been to the hospital for catheter insertion and anti-inflammatory treatment. However, he still feels uncomfortable, which is related to the catheter irritation. Without removing the catheter, the discomfort generally cannot be relieved. Therefore, symptomatic treatment should be administered first, followed by scheduled surgery.In addition to immediate treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important during the treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia. The patient must maintain a positive mood and follow a proper diet to avoid unnecessary interference with the recovery of the prostate.
