Patient's question:
Yesterday when I was using the restroom, it felt a bit rough, like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder, and I also felt that my hemorrhoids might be getting worse. Is this because my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is flaring up again, causing pressure?Question: Which hospital is good for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Doctor's answer:
Prostate enlargement, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition that significantly affects the health of elderly men, characterized by a noticeable reduction in prostate size. Severe symptoms of prostate enlargement, such as dysuria (painful urination), urinary urgency, and incomplete urination, may require surgery. However, if the symptoms are mild, medication and various non-surgical treatments can be used instead of surgery. It is recommended to consult a hospital for diagnosis. If the condition is severe, surgery is necessary, and the potential aftereffects are relatively minor compared to the condition itself. It is advisable to undergo surgery at a local People's Hospital. For patients with prostate enlargement, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
