Patient's question:
During that time, when my father went to the hospital for a thorough examination, he was told that he had benign prostatic hyperplasia and needed surgery. Now that the surgery is just finished, what should be paid attention to in terms of diet after several prostate surgeries?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia can lead to urinary retention when it reaches a certain extent, requiring early surgical intervention. After prostate surgery, it is advisable to consume more foods that help lower the immune system, such as tomatoes, sea cucumbers, or kiwis. In terms of diet, it is best to focus on light, non-irritating foods that are easy to digest. Additionally, it is essential to quit smoking and drinking alcohol. There are many treatment methods for prostate conditions, but since the symptoms vary among patients, the chosen treatment methods will differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
