Patient's question:
During this time, I have been feeling very weak in urination, and my urine has become smaller than before. There is also some pain in the penis during urination. I feel a bit upset and quickly went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was benign prostatic hyperplasia. How to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
If the enlargement is mild, treatment is not necessary because this condition will naturally stabilize. If the enlargement is moderate to severe, especially when the prostate enlargement is significant and accompanied by some subacute urinary retention, a large amount of residual urine (60–100 milliliters or more), urinary tract infections, or other conditions, and if the aforementioned treatments are ineffective, surgical intervention may be required, with transurethral resection of the prostate being the preferred option. Additionally, during the treatment period for patients with prostate enlargement, their dietary condition and care are also crucial. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and consume more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
