Hello,
Thanks for your query on HCM
"As"per your clinical history is concerned treatment for BPH depends upon several factors like -
a)The size of your prostate
b)Your age
c)Your overall health
d)The amount of discomfort or bother you are experiencing
So you can take Alpha blockers like [
alfuzosin,
doxazosin,
tamsulosin and silodosin] or
5-alpha reductase inhibitors like [
finasteride or dutasteride].
Sometimes combined medications are given to control it.so discuss with your Doctor which suits you to control your clinical symptoms.If no medication helps you then talk about minimally invasive surgical treatments.
Do follow lifestyle modifications like this -
1)Try to limit beverages in the evening. Don't drink anything for an hour or two before bedtime to avoid middle-of-the-night trips to the toilet.
2)Limit caffeine and alcohol. They can increase urine production, irritate the bladder and worsen symptoms.
3)Limit decongestants or antihistamines. These drugs tighten the band of muscles around the
urethra that control urine flow, making it harder to urinate.
4)Go when you first feel the urge. Waiting too long might overstretch the bladder muscle and cause damage. Schedule bathroom visits. Try to urinate at regular times such as every four to six hours during the day to "retrain" the bladder. This can be especially useful if you have severe frequency and urgency.
5)Try to follow a healthy diet. Obesity is associated with
enlarged prostate.
Stay active. Inactivity contributes to urine retention. Even a small amount of exercise can help reduce urinary problems caused by an enlarged prostate.
6)Keep warm. Colder temperatures can cause urine retention and increase the urgency to urinate.
Hope that helps
