How should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?

Patient's question:

Frequency of urination, urgency of urination, incontinence, nocturia, difficulty urinating, with benign prostatic hyperplasia, how should it be treated

Doctor's answer:

If the symptoms are caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the first option to consider is medication for conservative treatment. If the medication is not effective, surgical treatment may need to be considered. Currently, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a common surgical option. BPH tends to recur, so long-term medication may be necessary. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and regular medical attention, and treatment should be decided based on examination results. Additionally, it is advisable to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
