Patient's question:
Frequent difficulty urinating with pain, has been occurring for over a year. Tried Prostatic Nerve Block (PNE), what medication works best?Doctor's answer:
Hello, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is primarily caused by repeated bacterial infections and inflammatory stimulation, leading to poor lower urinary tract flow, making the bladder prone to overfilling with urine, which in turn stimulates genital congestion. Additionally, stimulants like smoking and alcohol, as well as poor lifestyle habits, can also contribute to it.The clinical symptoms of BPH follow a recognizable pattern, such as an abnormal increase in urination frequency, particularly nocturia (nighttime urination), difficulty urinating, weak urine flow, thinning urine stream, post-micturition dripping, urinary urgency, and a sense of pressure in the perineum.
Treating BPH is a long-term process. Therefore, patients can take diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills that have the functions of clearing heat, detoxifying, promoting blood circulation, and resolving blood stasis. Additionally, in daily life, it is important to avoid irritant foods, quit smoking and drinking, maintain warmth, avoid strenuous activity, and avoid prolonged sitting or standing.
