What treatment methods are used for benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

Prostate enlargement diagnosed last September, I haven't had any obvious symptoms during this period. Recently, I've felt abdominal fullness, and urination has been intermittent. I always wake up at night, and during the day, I also feel frequent urination and urgency. Does this mean my condition is serious? Please ask: What are the treatment methods for prostate enlargement?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can be divided into drug therapy and surgical therapy. Drugs such as Qianmao Shutong capsules and diethylstilbestrol can be taken orally, and traditional Chinese medicine can also be administered internally for treatment. If the symptoms are severe and conservative treatment is ineffective, options such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) may be considered. BPH can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is prone to occur after treatment. Therefore, medications must be used according to symptoms during treatment, and patients should also maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
