Patient's question:
Yesterday when I was using the restroom, it felt a bit uncomfortable, like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder. Also, I think my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Could this be my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) flaring up again, causing pressure?Question: What is the most effective treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as fibrosis. The symptoms are primarily manifested in two groups: one is bladder irritation symptoms; the other is obstructive symptoms caused by fibrotic prostate blocking the urinary tract. In long-term cases with mild symptoms or a small prostate volume (less than 30 milliliters), treatment is generally not required, but close follow-up is necessary. For individuals with mild intestinal obstruction, good bladder function, and no recurrence of many complications, medication can be considered first. Moderate to severe prostate hyperplasia or poor response to medication may lead to the decision for surgical treatment. It is recommended to visit a professional urological hospital for follow-up to identify the cause and provide targeted treatment, which often leads to self-recovery. Pay attention to changes in your body, exercise regularly, and maintain good personal habits.
