Patient's question:
What is the best treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? I want to know if there are good treatments for BPH. I feel very uncomfortable in my private area, and that feeling cannot be described. It greatly affects my work and life, which is very frustrating.Doctor's answer:
Prostate enlargement. The principles of treatment are as follows:1. In elderly men with symptoms such as nocturia (increased nighttime urination), straining during urination, and post-micturition dripping, prostate enlargement should be considered first.
2. Drink less beer... Bladder overdistension can lead to acute urinary retention.
4. Prostate enlargement can cause urinary tract obstruction, secondary infection, and in severe cases, hydronephrosis (accumulation of urine in the renal pelvis), leading to severe damage to kidney function. Therefore, active treatment should be initiated, including surgical intervention.
5. Prostate enlargement is often confused with prostate cancer. Therefore, elderly patients with symptoms of prostate enlargement should seek medical attention promptly for thorough examination and treatment to avoid missing the optimal treatment window.
In addition, during the treatment of prostate enlargement, patients should receive symptomatic treatment in addition to other measures.
