Is there a way to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

For the past one or two months, when the illness occurs, both legs feel weak, as if they cannot be moved, similar to the feeling of having a severe cold. There is swelling in the right groin area, and the left back also has a sensation of swelling. These two areas are bothersome and make one feel restless and lacking in energy.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to relax your mind and maintain emotional stability in daily life, avoid overtime work, and always ensure sufficient deep sleep. Stick to appropriate physical exercise. Engage in moderate massage and hot water sitz baths. Avoid prolonged sitting, driving, or cycling to prevent overexertion. Do not hold urine; urinate as soon as you feel the urge, and maintain regular bowel movements. Drink more water during the day and moderately increase fluid intake before bed. Consume fewer spicy and irritating foods, and completely avoid alcohol and tobacco. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
