Patient's question:
Actually, it wasn't very serious at first. It was just that every time I urinated, I felt a bit of resistance. Recently, I've noticed the situation is getting worse. Sometimes the urine is very thin, and urination is quite difficult, with a bit of pain. After checking at the hospital, the doctor said it's benign prostatic hyperplasia. I'm asking: What treatment is most effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate enlargement, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition that affects elderly men, characterized by a significant reduction in prostate size and interference with their health. Severe symptoms of prostate enlargement, such as painful urination, urinary urgency, and incomplete urination, may require surgery. However, if the symptoms are not too severe, medication and various supportive treatments can be used without the need for surgery. It is recommended to consult a hospital for diagnosis. If the condition is severe, surgery is necessary, and the aftereffects it brings are relatively minor compared to the condition itself. It is advised to have the surgery at a local People's Hospital. The condition of prostate enlargement tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals promptly, and treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
