Patient's question:
Does benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) necessarily require surgery? How much does it cost? Are there any methods to solve it? It has been troubling me for a long time, and I feel uncomfortable. I need a solution.Doctor's answer:
Hello, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease in elderly men. The main symptoms are progressive urinary difficulties, frequent urination, urgent urination, incomplete urination, and post-micturition dribbling. In severe cases, it can lead to urinary retention. The treatment for BPH depends on the specific situation. If the symptoms are not significant and the residual urine volume is not large, oral medications such as "Finasteride Tablets and Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Sustained-release Capsules" can be used for treatment, which is also quite effective. If it causes urinary retention and the residual urine volume is greater than 60 milliliters, surgical treatment should be considered. As for costs, they vary daily from hospital to hospital. There are some treatment methods for BPH.
