Patient's question:
A friend's grandfather has recently been feeling unwell and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said he suffers from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in old age. I'd like to ask what are the main nursing measures for benign prostatic hyperplasia in the elderly?Doctor's answer:
Prostate Hyperplasia: The full name of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy. However, from a pathological perspective, cell division is fibrosis, and cell reduction is hypertrophy. The main nursing aspects for elderly patients with prostate hyperplasia involve increasing the consumption of mutton, chives, and dog meat, while avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Additionally, it is essential to minimize a sedentary lifestyle and incorporate regular walking exercises. Furthermore, various methods to enhance blood circulation and alleviate symptoms should be adopted to stabilize the condition. Its primary goal is to increase androgens, prevent gradual volume reduction, and alleviate symptoms such as frequent urination and urinary incontinence.
