Patient's question:
Dr. Sang, hello? I have prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Currently, my total prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is 9.900, free PSA is 2.26, and the F/PSA ratio is 0.228. In this case, would drinking saffron tea suppress the increase or cause the rise of these three indicators?Doctor's answer:
According to your condition, while using this medication for treatment, it is recommended that you engage in appropriate physical exercise. Regular follow-up tests should be conducted. If the condition is severe, it may have a certain anti-inflammatory effect, and the results should be satisfactory. However, if there is enlargement, it may only be possible to maintain the current state. There are many treatment methods for prostatitis, but since the symptoms of patients differ, the diagnostic methods used also vary. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to receive a prompt diagnosis so that treatment can be tailored to their specific condition.
