Patient's question:
I urgently need help. I have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The doctor said it's not very serious, but it cannot be completely cured. Is that really the case? How should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment methods for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) include active surveillance, medication, surgery, and minimally invasive therapy. 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. If there are no symptoms, there is no need to worry; if there are obvious discomforts such as frequent urination and urgency, further examination of prostatic fluid may be needed to check if it is caused by chronic prostatitis, and it is recommended to consult a local doctor for treatment. BPH can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment, and patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
