Patient's question:
My husband recently felt that he was having difficulty urinating. When he went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said it was due to some fibrosis in the prostate caused by his age. The doctor recommended that we adopt the special therapy of their hospital to treat it. I would like to consult about this. For someone my husband's age, what are the treatments available for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, with age, the prostate tends to have a certain degree of fibrosis, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. If symptoms reappear, you can take tamsulosin hydrochloride for symptomatic treatment. Additionally, it's important to eat less spicy and irritating foods, reduce fried foods, and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits. It's also necessary to engage in appropriate activities to enhance physical fitness. If the medication is not effective, surgery can also be considered as a treatment option.
