Patient's question:
Go to check and confirm the diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia. During this period, I haven't had any obvious symptoms. Recently, I've felt abdominal fullness, and urination has been intermittent. I always get up at night, and during the day, I also feel frequent urination and urgency. Does this mean my condition is serious? Please ask: What should I do if I have benign prostatic hyperplasia? How should it be properly handled?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is an age-related condition in males caused by abnormal cell division in the prostate gland. Medications generally only help stabilize clinical symptoms and do not easily lead to significant regression of the prostate gland. In severe cases, most patients still require surgical removal of fibrotic prostate tissue.Generally speaking, prostate hyperplasia does not cause prostate calcification. Prostate calcification is mostly formed as scars after prostatitis heals. Prostate hyperplasia can lead to conditions such as urinary toxicity, and it is recommended to seek timely treatment at a formal hospital. The condition of prostate hyperplasia tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
