Patient's question:
I am 34 years old, male. Recently, I have been experiencing discomfort when urinating, sometimes with lower back pain and a bloated abdomen. After a thorough examination, it was found that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. Do I need treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is the most common benign disease causing urinary tract disorders in middle-aged and elderly men. Generally, if the symptoms are mild and do not interfere with daily life, treatment may not be necessary. In daily life, it is important to avoid holding urine and pay attention to fluid intake. However, patients should not take this lightly. If symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency reappear and begin to disrupt deep sleep, it is essential to seek follow-up medical attention and actively treat the condition. Patients should promptly undergo systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals based on their specific condition to ensure targeted treatment and rapid recovery.
