Patient's question:
What are the precautions for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia? I was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia last month and currently need to be carefully monitored. Hello, what should I pay attention to? What are the precautions for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) should pay attention to their diet. Increasing the intake of fats, milk, dairy products, red meat, grains, poultry, and starchy foods can help reduce the severity of BPH. On the other hand, vegetables, fruits, polyunsaturated fatty acids, linoleic acid, and vitamin D offer certain benefits for BPH.However, complete recovery may still require surgical treatment, which can be performed at a regular hospital. BPH patients should avoid exposure to cold, as cold temperatures often worsen the condition. The diet should be light, and spicy or irritating foods should be avoided, as they can cause sexual excitement, exacerbate symptoms of hemorrhoids and constipation, suppress the prostate, and worsen urinary difficulties.
