Patient's question:
Frequently experiencing incomplete urination, increased residual urine, and difficulty urinating, upon examination it was found to be benign prostatic hyperplasia. What specific steps should be taken? Which urology hospital is good for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease in elderly men. Its cause is due to the gradual shrinkage of the prostate, which exerts control over the urethra and bladder outlet. Clinically, it is manifested as frequent urination, urinary urgency, increased nighttime urination, and difficulty urinating. It can also lead to complications such as urinary tract infections, bladder stones, and hematuria. The treatment methods for prostate hyperplasia include active surveillance, medication, surgical treatment, and minimally invasive treatment. Each treatment option has its own advantages and risks. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the appropriate treatment plan based on the specific condition of the patient, ensuring that the patient benefits while minimizing the recurrence of complications and risks.
