Patient's question:
Doctor, I have benign prostatic hyperplasia, but I don't understand this disease. I would like to consult, how should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated well?Doctor's answer:
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), in its early stages, rarely causes any problems. However, when it interferes with urination, symptoms may appear. These symptoms include: incomplete urination, difficulty urinating, hesitancy to urinate, and frequent nighttime urination. Additionally, sexual function may also be affected.This condition can usually be diagnosed through medical examinations. When young people experience discomfort, it is often caused by prostatitis. In contrast, BPH is more commonly associated with age, typically occurring in individuals over 40. Surgical treatment tends to be more effective for this condition.
There are many treatment options for BPH, but the choice depends on the individual's specific condition. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment once symptoms appear.
