Patient's question:
I have a colleague who has been diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia. They said it's because of their age, and that it's common for many people at that stage. Is that really the case?Doctor's answer:
Hello, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease among elderly men, and its incidence rate continues to rise with age, making it a prevalent condition in urology. BPH can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills, which have the functions of clearing heat, detoxifying, promoting blood circulation, and resolving blood stasis. Treating BPH is a long-term process. Therefore, patients should avoid stimulating foods in their daily life, refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol, pay attention to keeping warm, avoid strenuous activities, avoid prolonged sitting and long-distance cycling, and urinate promptly, without holding urine.
