Patient's question:
Prostate hyperplasia diagnosed last year, I've had no significant symptoms during that time. Recently, I've been feeling abdominal fullness, and urination has been intermittent. I often wake up at night, and during the day, I also experience frequent and urgent urination. Does this mean my condition has worsened? Please ask: How should prostate enlargement be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), has two treatment options: medication and surgery! The indication for surgery is a bladder residual urine volume greater than 50ml. Considering your age, medication is more likely to be recommended, as surgery is more commonly performed on patients over 60 years old! For patients with BPH, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, whereas delayed treatment may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
