Patient's question:
An 81-year-old person suffering from Parkinson's disease and benign prostatic hyperplasia suddenly refuses to eat and respond. What could be the reason? How to deal with benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Parkinson's disease is a common disease in the elderly, often occurring after the age of 60. It primarily manifests as slow movement in patients, tremors in the hands or other parts of the body, loss of flexibility, and stiffness. It is mainly caused by neurodegeneration. The main symptoms in patients include muscle rigidity, tremors when at rest, slow movement, and abnormal posture and gait. However, a small number of patients may experience a weakening of their voice as the disease progresses, along with characteristic monotonous and stutter-like speech, making it difficult for them to respond. Further diagnosis can be conducted at the hospital. When did the disease develop, and are there other symptoms present? Additionally, for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia during treatment, their dietary condition and care are also very important. Patients should pay close attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities.
