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 condition is getting worse. Sometimes the urine is very thin, and urination is quite difficult, with a bit of pain. Please ask: How is benign prostatic hyperplasia treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) generally consists of three steps: watchful waiting; drug therapy and surgical treatment. For milder cases (professionally assessed using the IPSS international scoring system, with a score below 7 considered mild), watchful waiting is usually adopted.What is meant by watchful waiting is that a professional doctor first conducts a thorough examination to rule out prostate cancer. If the symptoms are mild, treatment is not necessary, and lifestyle adjustments can be made. However, it is essential to be aware of the condition and seek timely treatment when symptoms improve.
