Patient's question:
To check and confirm the diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia, I haven't had any significant symptoms during this period. Recently, I've felt abdominal fullness, and urination has been intermittent. I've been waking up frequently at night, and during the day, I've also experienced frequent and urgent urination. Does this mean my condition is serious? Please ask: How is it better to treat prostate enlargement?Doctor's answer:
Do you have any symptoms? Prostate enlargement should actually be called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is more common in elderly men. It can cause gradually worsening urinary difficulties, urinary hesitation, frequent urination, and urinary urgency. Some patients may experience acute urinary retention. The treatment for this condition includes medication and surgery. Medications include oral finasteride, naftopidil, Sanjin tablets, etc. If the medication is not effective, surgery may be necessary. The current surgical method is mostly transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), which is a minimally invasive procedure with a quick recovery.
