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. Is this because my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is flaring up again, causing pressure?Could you please tell me: What are the typical costs associated with surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is more common in middle-aged and elderly men. The main symptoms include frequent urination, urinary urgency, urinary pain, nocturia (frequent nighttime urination), and difficulty urinating. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a follow-up examination and undergo a detailed ultrasound. Based on the size of the prostate and clinical symptoms, an appropriate treatment method can be identified. If necessary, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) may be performed.For patients with prostate hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely medical treatment and pay attention to avoiding overexertion in daily life. Additionally, maintaining good personal hygiene is important. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
