Patient's question:
First, there was nocturia (frequent urination at night), and then it also recurred during the day. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was benign prostatic hyperplasia. I am very worried and upset that it is affecting my normal life, as I still need to take care of my grandson.Doctor's answer:
1. Drink more water, drinking more water will lead to more frequent urination, and highly concentrated urine can cause many stimulations to the prostate. Long-term adverse stimulations are harmful to the prostate. Drinking more water can not only dissolve blood but also effectively dilute the concentration of urine.2. Do not hold urine. Once the bladder is full and you feel the urge to urinate, you should urinate immediately. Holding urine is harmful to the bladder and prostate. Before taking a long-distance bus, empty your bladder first and then board the bus. If you feel an urgent need to urinate during the journey, politely ask the driver for permission to use the restroom and urinate on the bus. Absolutely do not force yourself to hold it.
