Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been experiencing frequent nighttime urination, always feeling a strong urge to urinate with incomplete emptying, and occasionally having a burning sensation during urination. The hospital said it's due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). What are the common methods used to treat BPH?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a disease of the prostate. Treatment methods can be divided into two types based on the cause: drug therapy and surgical treatment. Which treatment method to choose depends on the cause of your condition. In addition to hospital treatment, you should also pay attention to maintaining good lifestyle habits in daily life to prevent prolonged sitting, excessive sexual activity, or sexual intercourse. If you feel any abnormalities during treatment, you should promptly go to the hospital for a thorough examination. There are several treatment methods for prostate hyperplasia, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment methods used will also differ. Therefore, patients need to have timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to treat the symptoms accordingly.
