Patient's question:
A few days ago, I felt a twinge in my waist, and later the examination suspected a problem with my left kidney. Yesterday, I had an ultrasound examination at the People's Liberation Army 301 Hospital. The main finding was an enlarged prostate gland, measuring 4.4cm x 3.3cm x 3.4cm, with an anterior-posterior diameter of the inner gland being 2.2cm. The internal echo was uneven, with visible patchy strong echoes.Diagnosis: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia with Calculi
Doctor's answer:
Treating benign prostatic hyperplasia is a long-term process. Once diagnosed, patients must follow their doctor's advice for medication, never stopping or reducing the dosage on their own, and should undergo regular follow-up examinations to adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner based on their condition. Additionally, in daily life, it is important to avoid stimulating foods, quit smoking and drinking alcohol; pay attention to keeping warm; avoid strenuous exercise, prolonged sitting, and long-distance bicycle riding; and urinate promptly, never holding back urine.
