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 examination. Could you please tell me how to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia for better results?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease in elderly men. Its cause is due to the gradual shrinkage of the prostate, which exerts control over the urethra and bladder outlet. Clinically, it is diagnosed as frequent urination, urinary urgency, increased nighttime urination, and difficulty urinating. It can also lead to complications such as urinary tract infections, bladder stones, and hematuria, severely impacting the quality of life for elderly men. Therefore, active treatment is necessary, and some patients may even require surgical treatment. Currently, the treatment methods for prostate hyperplasia include active surveillance, medication, surgical treatment, and minimally invasive treatment. Each treatment option has its own advantages and risks. This requires selecting an appropriate treatment plan tailored to the patient's specific condition, ensuring the patient benefits while minimizing the recurrence of complications and risks.
