Does benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) really need to be treated?

Patient's question:

I have a curved urinary tract and my penis is also tilted to the left. I have a history of sexual activity. I'm a bit busy with work and haven't had a thorough check-up. Please ask if benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) really needs to be treated?

Doctor's answer:

This mainly involves checking for any obvious symptoms. If there is a recurrence of frequent urination, urgency, incomplete emptying of the bladder, or hesitation to urinate, medication treatment can be considered. Of course, if there are no symptoms, and a simple ultrasound suggests benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), it can be carefully monitored. For patients with BPH, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should promptly start medication treatment and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
