Patient's question:
Frequently experiencing incomplete urination, increased post-voiding residual urine, difficulty urinating, and after examination, it was found to be benign prostatic hyperplasia. Recently, there has been frequent urination at night with small urine volume. I would like to ask what treatment methods are recommended and how about surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
If the symptoms are caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), medication can be considered for aggressive treatment first. If the medication is not effective, surgical treatment should be considered, and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is now a viable option. BPH tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is advisable to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
