Patient's question:
I'm so worried right now because I have benign prostatic hyperplasia, which is affecting my normal training. I experience incontinence when I go off work, and sometimes it hurts a lot when I urinate. The pain is unbearable. Recently, I've also started experiencing bloating and pain in my lower abdomen. How can benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?Doctor's answer:
Drink less beer, pay attention to keeping warm in winter, because drinking beer, catching cold, and other factors can easily cause prostatic congestion and edema, which will continuously worsen urinary difficulties. Urinate immediately upon feeling the urge, and do not delay urination due to reasons such as attending meetings or inconvenience. Overly distended bladder can lead to acute urinary retention. Prostate enlargement can cause urinary tract obstruction, secondary infection, and in severe cases, it may lead to hydronephrosis, causing serious damage to kidney function. Therefore, active treatment should be taken, including surgical treatment.
