Patient's question:
Father has been experiencing frequent prostate pain recently, a distending ache, frequent urination, urgent urination, and a feeling of incomplete urination. He doesn't know if this could be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia.Doctor's answer:
Hello, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the common diseases among middle-aged and elderly men. When the symptoms of BPH are severe, it can lead to urinary retention, urinary tract stones, chronic kidney failure (uremia), and other conditions, severely endangering the health of middle-aged and elderly people. If a man suffers from chronic prostatitis and does not receive treatment for a long time, it is easy for him to develop benign prostatic hyperplasia. The failure to completely cure chronic prostatitis is one of the reasons for the occurrence of benign prostatic hyperplasia.Alcohol can easily cause congestion of the prostate in men, stimulating the prostate and leading to benign prostatic hyperplasia and other prostate diseases.
Treating benign prostatic hyperplasia is a long-term process. Therefore, patients can take diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills that have the functions of clearing heat, detoxifying, promoting blood circulation, and removing blood stasis. Additionally, in daily life, it is important to avoid stimulating foods.
