Patient's question:
I have a curved urethra and my penis is also tilted to the left. I have a history of sexual activity. I'm a bit busy with work and haven't had a thorough check-up. Could you please tell me how much it might cost to check for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate enlargement is a common disease in elderly men, primarily characterized by progressive urinary difficulties, frequent urination, urgent urination, incomplete urination, and post-micturition dribbling. In severe cases, it can lead to urinary retention. The treatment for prostate enlargement depends on the specific situation. If the symptoms are not significant and the residual urine volume is not high, oral medications such as "Proscar" and "Harley" can be used, which are also quite effective. If urinary retention occurs and the residual urine volume exceeds 60 milliliters, surgical treatment should be considered. As for costs, they vary daily from hospital to hospital, generally ranging between 7,000 to 10,000. The condition of prostate enlargement tends to recur, requiring long-term medication intake.
