Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling like I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating, and it seems like I lack strength when urinating. The stream is very thin, and I even feel like I can't urinate properly. Could this be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? If so, could you please tell me: What is the best way to treat BPH?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, prostatic hyperplasia is a common and frequently occurring disease in middle-aged and elderly men. There are drug treatments available, in addition to surgical treatment. Generally, drug treatment is considered first. If complications such as urinary retention, recurrent bladder stones, increasing residual urine, or hydronephrosis occur again, surgery may be considered.For hospital treatment, you can go to your municipal hospital, as surgical techniques are currently quite mature. The condition of prostatic hyperplasia tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be decided based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
