Patient's question:
My husband has benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Could you please ask your friends what medications are good for BPH? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
This condition is often caused by lower jiao damp-heat, which can be treated by taking herbal medicines that clear lower jiao damp-heat orally. Herbs such as coix seed, berberine, atractylodes rhizome, achyranthes root, calamus, and smilax can be used for treatment. It is best to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for follow-up. Pay attention to your diet in daily life—avoid spicy foods and alcohol. Engage in adequate physical exercise and avoid overworking. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain a regular sexual life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
