Does benign prostatic hyperplasia have non-surgical treatment methods?

Patient's question:

Had chickenpox before, appeared on the head, hospitalized and recovered. Then, it appeared again in the hospital that I couldn't urinate, and after using a catheter for 10 days, I could finally urinate by myself. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

In the early stages of prostate enlargement, frequent urination, especially nighttime urination, often attracts the patient's attention. This is generally due to congestion and edema of the bladder neck and residual urine, which reduce bladder capacity. When inflammation or stones are present in the prostate, symptoms of urinary urgency and pain may occur.
For patients with prostate enlargement, it is important to pay attention to the following in daily life:
1. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and do not drink alcohol.
2. Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and soy products. Use honey to keep bowel movements regular, and consume beef and eggs in moderation.
Prostate enlargement is very common. It can be physiological or pathological. Currently, prostate enlargement in patients falls under the pathological category and requires active treatment. Surgical treatment has a significant impact on future life.
