Patient's question:
Confirmed benign prostatic hyperplasia, during which there have been no significant symptoms. Recently, I feel my abdomen is full, and urination is intermittent. I always wake up at night, and during the day, I also experience frequent urination and urgency. Does this mean my condition is serious? Please ask: How is benign prostatic hyperplasia best treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostate enlargement, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), primarily manifests as urinary difficulties, such as frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. In severe cases, urinary retention may occur. Medications that are effective for prostate enlargement include Proscar, Flomax, and Trazodone. If a B shows that the prostate is not significantly enlarged, medication treatment may suffice. However, for severe urinary difficulties or urinary retention, transurethral resection (TURP) surgery may be necessary. In daily life, it is beneficial to avoid spicy and irritating foods, prevent cold exposure, not hold in urine, and avoid prolonged sitting. Regular exercise is also helpful. Wishing you good health.The condition of prostate enlargement tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. Additionally, male patients should actively seek diagnosis and treatment at professional and reputable hospitals.
