Patient's question:
Please ask the expert, how to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat elderly benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Prostate Enlargement Prescription:1. Elderly men with symptoms such as increased nighttime urination, difficulty urinating, and post-urination dripping should first consider the possibility of prostate enlargement.
2. Drink less alcohol and pay attention to keeping warm in winter, as alcohol consumption and colds can easily lead to prostate congestion and edema, exacerbating urinary difficulties.
3. Urinate as soon as you feel the urge, and do not delay urination due to meetings or other inconveniences. Bladder overexpansion can lead to acute urinary retention.
4. Prostate enlargement can cause urinary tract obstruction, secondary infections, and in severe cases, lead to hydronephrosis and serious damage to kidney function. Therefore, active treatment, including surgical intervention, should be pursued.
5. Prostate enlargement is also easily confused with prostate cancer, so elderly individuals with symptoms should seek medical attention promptly for diagnosis and treatment to avoid delays.
6. Avoid drugs such as atropine, 654-2, and hyoscyamine. If a patient with prostate enlargement experiences abdominal pain, stomach issues, or other discomforts, they should inform their doctor about their condition to prevent the use of such medications.
Prostate Enlargement Health Maintenance:
I. Men over 50 with difficulty urinating, frequent urination, poor urinary flow, or dribbling should seek medical attention promptly for a clear diagnosis.
II. Avoid long-distance bicycle riding or horseback riding to reduce friction on the prostate. Those who sit for long periods should stand up and move around for 10–15 minutes every two hours to improve blood circulation in the perineum. Regular physical exercise is recommended, such as practicing the Eighteen Methods of Kung Fu, office exercises, or health maintenance routines. Additionally
