Patient's question:
My uncle suffers from benign prostatic hyperplasia. Previously, he only had symptoms such as frequent urination and incomplete urination. Recently, his condition has worsened, and he is experiencing difficulty urinating. What can be done to help: How to treat male benign prostatic hyperplasiaDoctor's answer:
Prostatic hyperplasia may lead to kidney damage or even uremia, as the fibrotic prostate controls the urethra, requiring the bladder to contract forcefully to overcome resistance and expel urine from the body. Over time, the bladder muscles become thickened. If the bladder pressure remains unresolved for a long period, the urine remaining in the bladder gradually increases, leading to cerebral edema and hypoxia in the bladder muscles, causing them to lose tone. The bladder cavity then expands, and eventually, the urine in the bladder overflows into the ureters, causing hydronephrosis in the renal pelvis. In severe cases, uremia may reappear.Prostatic hyperplasia can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills, which have the functions of bactericidal and anti-inflammatory, promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis, as well as diuretic and urinary relief. The therapeutic effect is quite good.
