Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination, urinary urgency, incontinence, and an increase in nighttime urination. After a check-up, it was found that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Could you please recommend some effective treatments for BPH?Doctor's answer:
Mainly, the condition involves benign prostatic hyperplasia, which is the most common cause of urinary obstruction. The etiology is primarily related to age increase and the presence of functional testes. Treatment options are mainly chosen based on the severity of fibrosis and the condition of urination. If the symptoms are mild, medications such as finasteride tablets and tamsulosin can be used. If there is severe urinary retention, surgery may be required. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
