Patient's question:
My father is 69 years old. Yesterday the weather was 24 degrees, and he went out to handle some matters for about half an hour. He kept urinating with a small amount each time, and even his shorts were still wet when he came home. He has a frequent urge to urinate, urinates often, but with very little volume, and experiences a stinging sensation during urination. Previously, he took medication, but it was not effective. He also experienced incontinence after taking the medication, and it didn't help either. Recently, he feels it's having the opposite effect. How about eating something good?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the patient may have urinary urgency, dysuria, and frequency, which could be due to a urinary tract infection or benign prostatic hyperplasia. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination, including a urinalysis and a prostate ultrasound. Maintain a balanced diet, avoid extremely cold, greasy, spicy, and irritating foods, drink plenty of water, do not sit for long periods, and quit smoking and drinking. Prostate hyperplasia tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, pay attention to proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
