Patient's question:
Actually, it wasn't very serious at first. It was just that every time I urinated, I felt a bit of resistance. Recently, I've noticed the situation is getting worse. Sometimes the urine flow is very thin, and urination is quite difficult, with a bit of pain. After checking at the hospital, the doctor said it's benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). I'm asking: How can benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease that causes urinary dysfunction. The main causes are related to age increase and functional testicles. Specific treatment depends on the severity of the disease. For mild symptoms, oral medications such as terazosin can be used, but attention should be paid to orthostatic hypotension. Other options include finasteride, etc. If there is severe intestinal obstruction and a large amount of residual urine, surgical treatment may be necessary. For patients with prostate hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
