Patient's question:
Every time I urinate, I feel a bit of resistance. Recently, I've noticed that the situation is getting worse. Sometimes the urine is very thin, and urination is quite difficult, with a bit of pain. Please ask: How should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?Doctor's answer:
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as benign prostatic hypertrophy, primarily manifests as urinary difficulties, such as frequent urination, urgent urination, and incomplete urination. In severe cases, urinary retention may occur. If an ultrasound shows that the convexity of the prostate is not very significant, medication treatment may suffice. However, for severe urinary difficulties or urinary retention, transurethral resection (TURP) surgery is required. In daily life, it is beneficial to avoid spicy and irritating foods, stay warm, not hold in urine, avoid prolonged sitting, and engage in regular exercise. Wishing you good health. BPH can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, take medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet, avoiding foods, smoking, and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
