Patient's question:
This year, 78 years old. Two months ago, it was found that there is severe tricuspid valve regurgitation and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Currently, always feeling hot.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, long-term catheterization due to benign prostatic hyperplasia, recent abdominal pain, and after a thorough examination, severe tricuspid regurgitation and fever were found. Long-term catheterization may lead to urinary tract infections. It is recommended that you: always maintain the patency of the catheter, strictly prohibit urine reflux, replace the catheter and urine bag promptly, pay attention to your diet, eat less spicy and irritating foods, drink more water to enhance urine metabolism, and if there is significant palpitations, chest tightness, or shortness of breath due to tricuspid regurgitation, seek hospitalization and treatment at a regular hospital. Benign prostatic hyperplasia can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
