Patient's question:
Prostate hyperplasia diagnosed last September, I haven't had any significant symptoms during that time. Recently, I've been feeling abdominal fullness, and urination has been intermittent. I always wake up at night, and during the day, I also experience frequent and urgent urination. Does this mean my condition is getting worse? Please ask: What are the good treatments for prostate hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). The treatment principles are as follows:1. In elderly men with symptoms such as nocturia (increased nighttime urination), straining during urination, and post-micturition dribbling, benign prostatic hyperplasia should be considered first.
2. Drinking less beer can help prevent bladder overdistension, which may lead to acute urinary retention.
4. Benign prostatic hyperplasia can cause urinary tract obstruction, secondary infections, and in severe cases, lead to hydronephrosis (accumulation of urine in the renal pelvis), resulting in severe renal damage. Therefore, active treatment is necessary, including surgical options.
5. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is often confused with prostate cancer. Elderly patients with symptoms of BPH should seek medical attention promptly for thorough examination and treatment to avoid missing the optimal opportunity.
BPH can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor is essential during the treatment.
