Patient's question:
What should be paid attention to when treating elderly men with benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease in elderly men, generally related to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Long-term sitting, spicy food, prostatitis, chronic alcohol consumption, and unrestrained sexual activity can all contribute to it. Prostate hyperplasia can control the urethra, leading to symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, urine splitting, and difficulty urinating. Medication recommendations include oral finasteride and tamsulosin cell repair capsules. In severe cases, surgical treatment may be necessary. It is recommended to drink more water, enhance physical exercise, quit smoking and alcohol, and avoid long-term sitting.
