Patient's question:
Diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia last May, I've had no significant symptoms during that time. Recently, I've been feeling abdominal fullness, and urination has been intermittent. I've been waking up frequently at night and experiencing urinary frequency and urgency during the day. Is this a sign that my condition has worsened? Please ask: How can benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated more effectively?Doctor's answer:
The manifestations of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) vary greatly, such as differences in age, lifestyle, and educational background, among others. The incidence of BPH also shows regional differences. The treatment of BPH is closely related to the patient's condition. There are many methods for treating BPH, which can be summarized into two major categories: surgical treatment and non-surgical treatment. Non-surgical treatments include local penetration methods, rectal medication combined with infrared therapy, local injection methods, etc. Medication can only alleviate mild symptoms, while severe cases require surgical treatment. It is generally difficult to heal on its own, so it is important to be mentally prepared.
