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, what should I pay attention to regarding BPH?Doctor's answer:
There are many treatment methods for this condition, such as medication and physical therapy. The most advanced treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) currently is transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). This method for treating BPH is effective quickly, leads to a rapid and complete recovery, has a low risk of recurrence, and causes minimal harm. The condition of BPH tends to recur, requiring long-term medication to maintain. For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, it is necessary to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
