Patient's question:
I recently had a recurrence of bronchitis, with a sore throat, coughing up white phlegm, and chest tightness. However, I also have benign prostatic hyperplasia with fibrosis, which causes difficulty urinating.Hello, can the bronchitis medication ipratropium bromide be taken together with the benign prostatic hyperplasia medication tamsulosin hydrochloride, as both need to be taken before bedtime?
Doctor's answer:
It should be two diseases, one is "wife domination" and the other is prostatitis. I believe both of these conditions need to be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. For these two diseases, the efficacy of Western medicine is unsatisfactory. It is necessary to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. Of course, you should consult a professional practitioner to have a look, and then use traditional Chinese medicine, which would be better. For patients with prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life.
