Patient's question:
Since last Friday, there has been some swelling in the lower left part of the bladder, but it doesn't hurt, and it's hard to feel exactly where the swelling is. It always feels uncomfortable. The health check-up results at the beginning of the month showed slightly swollen prostate, but I've never had any symptoms before. I suspect the swelling is due to sitting too much and lack of activity.Doctor's answer:
Precautions for BPH patients in daily life:1. Cold can worsen the condition. Therefore, pay close attention to preventing cold.
2. Drink less alcohol as possible. Because alcohol can cause congestion and edema in the prostate and bladder neck, leading to urinary retention.
3. Eat less spicy and irritating foods. These foods can not only cause congestion in the genital organs but also worsen symptoms of hemorrhoids and constipation, suppress the prostate, and exacerbate urination difficulties.
4. Never hold urine. Holding urine can cause excessive bladder filling, weaken the detrusor muscle of the bladder, make urination difficult again, and easily lead to acute urinary retention.
5. Never overexert yourself. Overexertion can deplete qi, cause weak urination, and easily lead to urinary retention.
