How should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?

Patient's question:

Often experiencing incomplete urination, increased post-voiding residual urine, difficulty urinating, and after examination, it is found to be benign prostatic hyperplasia. How should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?

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. Currently, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) can be considered for BPH, which can stabilize the condition. However, the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
