Patient's question:
I have been suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia for a year. During this time, I have been very troubled. I have taken a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, but the effect is not obvious. How should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated? How can the prostate be treated thoroughly?Doctor's answer:
For the fibrosis of the prostate, one can initially take many anti-hormone drugs, 5α-reductase inhibitors, cholesterol inhibitors, and other medications. At the same time, surgical methods such as transurethral resection of the prostate and orchiectomy may also be required. It is important to maintain wound cleanliness and dryness after surgery and to appropriately use iodine solution to clean the local skin. In daily life, consuming tomatoes, watermelon, and kelp can be beneficial for treatment.
