Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing incomplete urination and an increase in residual urine, with difficulty urinating. After a check-up, it was found that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). How is the best way to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is very common. As age decreases, almost all men will experience fibrosis to some extent, though the severity varies. Significant fibrosis can lead to symptoms such as frequent urination and incomplete emptying of the bladder, and severe cases may cause the bladder to lose its contractility. There is no effective treatment for prostate hyperplasia. Many traditional Chinese medicine formulas that promote blood circulation and resolve stagnation may help alleviate symptoms but cannot cure the condition. Severe prostate hyperplasia may require surgical removal of the prostate. For patients with prostate hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
