Patient's question:
In the past two months, I've been experiencing lower back pain, a heavy and bloated pain in the lower abdomen, along with frequent and urgent urination. However, each time I urinate, only a few drops come out, and it's accompanied by blood in the urine. My prostate is severely swollen. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia.What kind of help is needed: What medications are available for benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Doctor's answer:
Prostate Hyperplasia Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease among elderly men, with onset typically occurring after the age of 50. As age increases, the incidence rate gradually declines, making it a common condition in urology. Treating prostate hyperplasia is a long-term process. Once diagnosed, patients must follow medical advice and take medication as prescribed. It is absolutely crucial not to stop or reduce medication on one's own, and regular follow-up tests should be conducted to adjust the treatment plan promptly based on the condition. Additionally, in terms of diet, lifestyle, and daily habits, it is important to avoid stimulating foods and alcohol consumption; pay attention to preventing colds; avoid strenuous exercise, prolonged sitting, and long-distance bicycle riding; and urinate promptly, never holding it in.
