Patient's question:
These days, I don't know what's wrong, but I always feel a strong urge to urinate. However, when I go to the toilet, it feels like there isn't much urine. Sometimes it's just a drop or two. During morning urination, I even noticed that my urine was split. After consulting, I found out it might be prostatic hyperplasia. I'm asking: Can prostatic hyperplasia be effectively treated to some extent?Doctor's answer:
Hello! After the initial period of a prostate hyperplasia surgery, a catheter is needed for urination. As the condition recovers, the catheter should be gradually removed to avoid infection due to prolonged placement. If the elderly are currently using a catheter, pay attention to local hygiene, sterilize it regularly, drink plenty of water, and prevent infection. There are many treatment methods for prostate hyperplasia, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive symptomatic treatment.
