The prostate is part of the male reproductive system, adjacent to the male bladder and surrounding the urethra. Common problems of the prostate include benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), acute and chronic bacterial prostatitis and chronic prostatitis (non-bacterial) and prostate cancer. This presentation is about benign prostatic hyperplasia or enlargement (BPH) in men. What kind of BPH needs treatment? Whether BPH needs treatment depends on the symptoms and their severity. Repeated urinary tract infections, urinary distress, urinary leakage, and impaired kidney function can significantly affect quality of life, and this is when medication or surgical treatment should come on board. Treatment: Wait and see If your symptoms are mild, your doctor may recommend simple observation, but you will need to visit your doctor at least once a year. If your symptoms do not worsen, or even get worse, you may not need special treatment. In fact, in some patients, symptoms are transient and even self-remitting in some patients. Treatment: Lifestyle Changes Certain lifestyle modifications can be helpful in relieving symptoms, including: reducing alcohol and caffeine intake; avoiding water after bedtime and reducing the amount of water you drink during the day; avoiding diuretics and antihistamines; exercising regularly; not holding urine in; and emptying the bladder (waiting a while before “squeezing” after each urination); Exercise to control tension and relaxation method.
