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. Is this a sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? If so, could you please tell me: What is the approximate cost of checking for BPH?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is generally treated with medication. The standard medication is Urocit-K tablets. If the medication is not effective, surgical treatment may be required, with costs typically ranging from three to five thousand yuan. Patients should pay close attention to maintaining warmth, avoid spicy foods, and especially quit smoking and drinking alcohol. Holding in urine is absolutely not recommended, and it is important to drink plenty of water. The body should not be overexerted. Prostate hyperplasia can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually slow and prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, appropriate medication, and the development of good lifestyle habits during treatment are essential. It is also recommended to maintain a proper diet. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
