Patient's question:
Doctor, I have benign prostatic hyperplasia, but I don't understand this disease. I would like to consult, how should patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?Doctor's answer:
Enlargement is also known as hyperplasia. The harmfulness of benign prostatic hyperplasia lies in the pathological and physiological changes that occur after it causes lower urinary tract obstruction. The individual differences in pathology are significant, and not all cases progress progressively. Some conditions stabilize at a certain point and do not worsen further. Therefore, even if mild obstruction symptoms appear, surgery is not always necessary. However, the risk of surgery is relatively higher for older individuals.
