Patient's question:
These days, I don't know what's wrong, but I always feel a strong urge to urinate. However, when I go to the toilet, it feels like there isn't much urine. Sometimes it's just a drop or two. During morning urination, I even noticed that my urine was split. After consulting, it seems to be prostatic hyperplasia. I would like to ask: What treatment methods are most effective for prostatic hypertrophy?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is one of the common diseases among middle-aged and elderly men, and the incidence of prostate hyperplasia decreases with age. Surgery is an important treatment method for prostate hyperplasia. The indications for surgery include: ① the presence of lower urinary tract obstruction symptoms, with significant changes observed in urodynamic tests, or residual urine volume exceeding 60 mL; ② severe unstable bladder symptoms; ③ causing upper urinary tract obstruction and renal function impairment; ④ recurrent acute urinary retention, urinary tract infections, or gross hematuria; ⑤ patients with second-degree neuron bladder stones. For patients with long-term urinary tract obstruction, significantly impaired renal function, severe urinary tract infections, or recurrent acute urinary retention, a catheter should be inserted first to relieve urinary retention, and surgery should be performed only after the infection is fully controlled and renal function is completely restored.
