Patient's question:
Symptoms: Frequent urination and difficulty urinating, short and thin urine stream. Is it hyperplasia? How effective are medications for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
If the symptoms are caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the first option to consider is medication for conservative treatment. If the medication is not effective, surgical treatment should be considered. Currently, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a viable surgical option for BPH, which can stabilize the condition. However, the treatment process is generally slow, and there is a higher risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt healthy lifestyle habits and maintain a balanced diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
