Patient's question:
Frequently experiencing incomplete urination, increased post-voiding residual urine, difficulty urinating, and after examination, it was found to be benign prostatic hyperplasia. Recently, there has been frequent urination at night with small urine volume. I would like to ask about the treatment options and suggestions for surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia.Doctor's answer:
If the symptoms are caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), medication can be considered for rigorous treatment first. If the medication is not effective, surgical treatment should be considered, and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is now a viable option. BPH tends to recur, so long-term medication is often necessary. For male patients, it is crucial to seek professional and reputable medical attention immediately and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
