Patient's question:
My husband said a few weeks ago that he was experiencing pain at the urethral opening when urinating and his ability to get erect had significantly decreased. He kept putting off going to the hospital because of embarrassment. When the pain became unbearable, he finally went for a thorough examination, and the doctor told him it was benign prostatic hyperplasia. My husband works long hours and is very hardworking and exhausted. It really breaks my heart that he has contracted this disease. It is said that medication cannot completely cure it.Doctor's answer:
The prostate is an important organ in the male reproductive system. The prostatic fluid it produces is also a major component of semen, and it plays a role in nourishing sperm and facilitating fertilization of the egg. However, the prostate is also a "trouble spot" for most men, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is gradually expanding. Clinical diagnosis confirms that all men over the age of 55 have varying degrees of BPH. Therefore, it is a common and often overlooked condition in men:1. Mild hyperplasia does not require treatment.
2. Chinese medicine and estrogen therapy: oral Wenglitong and ethinyl estradiol.
3. In cases of acute urinary retention, acupuncture at points such as Guanyuan, Qihai, San Yin Jiao, and Yanglingquan can be applied.
