Patient's question:
My father is 75 years old this year. He was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia 10 years ago. In recent years, he has experienced frequent urination, incomplete urination, and some difficulty urinating. He went to the hospital for treatment. Since my father also has bronchitis and his blood pressure is around 90-150, and his heart function is weak, the doctor said his condition is poor and the surgical risk is high, so he recommended strict conservative treatment.Doctor's answer:
The elderly's physical condition is poor, and harsh treatment methods can be considered first.1. Symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria are prominent, with benign prostatic hyperplasia. While taking medication, appropriate physical exercise should be conducted to enhance physical fitness and promote blood circulation in the perineum, preventing chills. Absolute avoidance of alcohol, spicy foods, and holding in urine is necessary. Overexertion and prolonged sitting should be avoided. Sufficient water intake and timely massage of the lower abdomen are recommended. For severe cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia, it is advised to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's recommendations for treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements for medication, as this may worsen the condition.
