Does benign prostatic hyperplasia require surgery?

Patient's question:

Male, 43 years old, mental state not very good recently, don't know what's wrong. Please ask: Does benign prostatic hyperplasia require surgery?

Doctor's answer:

How surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is performed mainly depends on the severity of the disease. If the clinical diagnosis shows asymptomatic BPH, treatment may not be necessary. Only when the condition worsens and significantly affects daily life, surgical treatment becomes necessary. Currently, there are conventional surgical treatments and minimally invasive surgical treatments available. Additionally, patients need to maintain a regular routine, take precautions against cold and keep the environment well-ventilated, eat light and soft foods, and drink plenty of warm water to ensure the condition does not recur.
