How should a 85-year-old person with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) be treated?

Patient's question:

16 days after surgery, there has been blood in the urine, and there is some pain now. The frequency of urination has increased.

Doctor's answer:

Do not stop or reduce medication on your own, and it is necessary to regularly review and adjust the treatment plan according to your condition. Additionally, in terms of daily life, avoid stimulating foods, smoking, and alcohol; pay attention to keeping warm; avoid strenuous activities, prolonged sitting, and long-distance bicycle riding; urinate promptly and do not hold back urine. Therefore, self-care is very important. Good self-care can not only consolidate treatment effects but also prevent the worsening of the condition and the occurrence of acute urinary retention.
