Patient's question:
Doctor, I have benign prostatic hyperplasia, but I don't understand this disease. I would like to consult, how should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated in the early stage?Doctor's answer:
The treatment principles are as follows:1. For elderly men with symptoms such as nocturia (increased nighttime urination), straining during urination, and post-micturition dribbling, prostatic hyperplasia should be considered first.
2. Drink less beer. Bladder overdistension can lead to acute urinary retention.
4. Prostatic hyperplasia can cause urinary tract obstruction, secondary infection, and in severe cases, hydronephrosis (accumulation of urine in the renal pelvis), leading to severe impairment of renal function. Therefore, active treatment should be initiated, including surgical intervention.
