Patient's question:
It might be due to not paying attention to medicinal diet in daily life. My body has always been in poor health. During the recent health check-up, I found out that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. Is benign prostatic hyperplasia something that needs treatment?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia requires a thorough examination in a regular hospital. Based on the examination results, symptomatic treatment is necessary. Currently, the clinical application of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine oral medications can achieve satisfactory effects. When necessary, surgical treatment can be adopted. Generally, antibiotics are not required. Various physical therapies are not recommended. Only drug treatment in a regular hospital is needed. We should eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, coarse grains, and soy products, consume fresh honey to maintain smooth bowel movements, and eat sufficient beef and eggs.
