Patient's question:
How many of my elderly people used to have symptoms of frequent urination and urgency, but because they weren't very serious, they thought it was prostatitis. But recently, they've been finding it very difficult to urinate. What are the treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
The treatment methods for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are numerous, including medication and surgery. However, generally speaking, for patients with mild conditions or those who are elderly and cannot tolerate surgery, medication is the preferred treatment, specifically Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pills. If the BPH is severe, surgical treatment is recommended. In daily life, it is important to avoid prolonged sitting or standing, not smoke or drink alcohol, avoid foods, drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, and seek timely treatment. If the BPH condition is very severe, it is advised that patients receive timely symptomatic treatment in accordance with their doctor's recommendations, and it is hoped that patients can follow their doctor's advice for treatment. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to self-care training, maintain a proper diet, to avoid worsening the condition.
