Patient's question:
I started experiencing a sensation of incomplete urination last year, but there were no obvious symptoms of frequent or urgent urination. When I bend down to do chores for a long time (e.g., doing laundry), there’s some discomfort in my lower right abdomen. Last week, I had an ultrasound at the hospital, and it was found that my prostate has some fibrosis, fibrosis. I don’t know whether I need treatment, nor do I know if I can still drink beer.Doctor's answer:
If the impact of benign prostatic hyperplasia on the patient's quality of life is relatively minor and there is no significant distress, the patient can decide to wait and be closely monitored. If the impact is significant, the patient can undergo medication treatment. During treatment, it is absolutely forbidden to stop or reduce medication on one's own, and regular follow-up visits to the hospital are necessary to adjust the treatment plan based on the condition. Additionally, in terms of daily diet, living habits, and lifestyle, it is important to avoid irritating foods during bowel movements, abstain from alcohol, take care to prevent colds, avoid strenuous exercise, prevent prolonged sitting, urinate promptly, and absolutely avoid holding in urine.
