How to care for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia?
1、 Pay attention to rest: patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia should pay attention to rest in life and work. Do not accelerate the consumption of middle qi due to overwork. Common symptoms such as urinary retention are caused by the weakness of urination due to the lack of middle qi.
2、 Diet adjustment: Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia should pay attention to avoiding the use of spicy and stimulating foods in their diet. Some patients do not care about their diet, resulting in genital congestion, constipation, hemorrhoids, and so on. These symptoms can cause pressure on the prostate, making urination more difficult.
3、 Smoking and alcohol prohibition: In addition to diet, patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia should also abstain from drinking and smoking during their illness to avoid congestion and edema of the prostate and bladder neck caused by the stimulation of tobacco and alcohol, and then lead to urinary retention.
4、 Do not hold urine: patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia should urinate in time when they want to urinate. Do not hold urine, or they will have difficulty urinating due to excessive bladder inflation, which will lead to acute urinary retention. Therefore, holding urine is harmful to patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
5、 Sit Soon: Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia should avoid prolonged sitting in order to avoid severe hemorrhoids, perineal congestion, and difficulty urinating. It is best to go out for more walks and exercise regularly, so as not to worsen the condition.
6、 Pay attention to keeping warm: In the late autumn and early spring when the weather is cold, pay attention to keeping warm, prevent colds, and try to avoid respiratory diseases. This cold weather and illness can worsen the condition, so patients and friends must pay attention.
