Patient's question:
Prostate enlargement diagnosed last year, I haven't had any obvious symptoms during that time. Recently, I've felt abdominal fullness, and urination has been intermittent. I always wake up at night, and during the day, I also feel frequent urination and urgency. Does this mean my condition has become serious? Please ask: How is prostate enlargement treated?Doctor's answer:
You have benign prostatic hyperplasia, and surgery is an option. Before starting medication, a comprehensive assessment of the condition should be conducted, and the potential side effects of the drugs as well as the possibility of long-term use should also be carefully considered. It is important to closely monitor the therapeutic effects and conduct long-term follow-up. Regular urodynamic examinations should be performed to avoid missing the optimal surgical window. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
