Patient's question:
Does Wenglitong Capsule work well for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as benign prostatic hypertrophy, is one of the common diseases among elderly men. The onset is related to the imbalance of sexual hormones in the elderly, which can cause urinary tract obstruction and, in severe cases, lead to a decline in kidney function or even uremia. The initial symptoms include frequent urination, increased night-time urination, reduced urine volume per urination, gradual difficulty in urination, thinning of the urinary stream, weak urine flow, interruption of urination, and severe cases may develop acute urinary retention. Long-term urinary retention can result in incontinence. The treatment for prostate hyperplasia includes medication and surgery. Medication is suitable for mild symptoms and a residual urine volume of less than 50 milliliters, while surgery is the primary method for treating prostate hyperplasia. The specific surgical approach needs to be based on symptoms, physical signs, and auxiliary tests. If you have time, you can also click the flashing button on the left to consult with me.
