Patient's question:
I have been feeling like I have benign prostatic hyperplasia for two years. I always thought it would improve on its own. When I was young, I used to have a habit of masturbation, but I have abstained for 5 years now. The current symptoms I have are a delay in urination, while other symptoms haven't been noticeable. I went to the hospital last year, and the doctor said it wasn't a big deal, told me not to worry, and prescribed some medication. The situation improved for a while, but now it's not working again. What should I do to treat it? Is it possible to cure it completely? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Guiding Advice: Due to the inability to conduct a face-to-face examination, a comprehensive understanding of the condition cannot be achieved. To further clarify the diagnosis, you should go to a public hospital for a thorough examination. Based on your symptoms and physical signs, the doctor will perform auxiliary clinical diagnostic tests (such as blood, urine, and stool tests, as well as a prostate ultrasound, etc.), identify the cause, and then provide targeted treatment. There are several treatment methods for benign prostatic hyperplasia, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the diagnostic approach may differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as symptoms are noticed.
