Patient's question:
When I went to the toilet yesterday, it felt a bit awkward, like I couldn't empty my bladder completely. Also, I think my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Is this because my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has flared up again, causing pressure?Question: What is the approximate cost of benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a common chronic symptom in elderly men. At the age of 75, approximately 70% of elderly men suffer from it, though the severity of symptoms varies. The transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) technique is now highly mature, and general secondary hospitals can actively carry out this procedure. The cost is generally around 10,000 yuan, with significant differences between different levels of hospitals due to the materials used. You can consult local hospitals for patients with prostate hyperplasia. For such patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, while delayed treatment can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
