Patient's question:
Recently, I've always felt very uncomfortable in my private area. After checking at the hospital, I was diagnosed with it. Now I'm very worried about my condition. I wonder how is it better to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Do you have any symptoms? Prostate enlargement should actually be called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is more common in elderly men. It can cause symptoms such as gradually worsening urinary difficulties, urinary hesitation, frequent urination, and urinary urgency, and some patients may experience acute urinary retention. The treatment for this condition includes medication and surgery. Medications include oral finasteride, naftopidil, Sanjin tablets, etc. If the medication is not effective, surgery may be necessary. The current surgical method is mostly transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), which is a minimally invasive procedure with a quick recovery.
