Patient's question:
When I went to the bathroom yesterday, it felt a bit rough, like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder, and I also think my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Is this because my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is flaring up again, causing pressure?Could you please ask: How should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated to improve symptoms?
Doctor's answer:
There are many treatment methods for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), such as drug therapy and physical therapy. The most advanced treatment for BPH currently is transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). This method of treating BPH is effective quickly, allows for rapid recovery, has a low risk of recurrence, and causes minimal harm. It is currently the preferred treatment option for the majority of patients with BPH.BPH can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, it is essential for patients to actively cooperate with their doctors' medication plans during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
