Patient's question:
Symptoms: Frequent urination and difficulty urinating, shortened and thin urine stream. Is it hyperplasia? How effective are medications for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
If the symptoms are caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the first option to consider is medication for conservative treatment. If the medication is not effective, surgical treatment may need to be considered. Currently, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a surgical option that can stabilize BPH. However, the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
