Elderly men often experience prostate hyperplasia. Many patients continue to take medication and have tried various treatment schemes, but the treatment effect is not very good. The reason is simple, that is, some patients with prostate hyperplasia cannot take medication correctly, leading to adverse consequences, mainly including the following:
1. Medication error
For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, it is necessary to recognize their own causes and treat them symptomatically. The drugs commonly used for prostate hyperplasia can be roughly divided into two categories: drugs that reduce the size of the prostate, and drugs that reduce urinary resistance. The two cannot be substituted for each other. For patients with BPH, the first step is to determine what medication to take based on their most urgent problems, or the most severe symptoms. In most patients, the combination of these two drugs can achieve better results.
2. Treatment error
Many patients have a psychological resistance to surgery and expect to use conservative treatment drugs to maintain symptoms, which is understandable. However, it is not advisable to persist in blindly taking medication for a long time, regardless of the doctor's advice. Therefore, in the course of taking medicine, once symptoms subside or side effects appear, the dosage should be gradually reduced, and in severe cases, the drug should also be discontinued.
3. Blind medication
For patients with early prostate hyperplasia, doctors generally recommend medication, but during the maintenance of medication, it is important to pay attention to regular hospital inspections to understand the changes in the condition and the effectiveness of medication. If the drug treatment is effective and no side effects are found, you can continue taking the drug.
Today, I have introduced a few misunderstandings and doubts encountered by patients with prostate hyperplasia during their daily medication. Patients should promptly discover and understand their condition, and at the same time, they should strengthen their attention to prostate hyperplasia and do a good job of prevention in daily life. Once it is confirmed that drug treatment is ineffective or has side effects, or there are complications of prostate hyperplasia, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice and receive surgical treatment in a timely manner.
