Patient's question:
I urgently need help because I have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The doctor said it's not very serious, but it cannot be completely cured. Is that really the case? How should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment methods for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) include active surveillance, medication, surgery, and minimally invasive therapy. Each treatment option has its own advantages and risks. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the appropriate treatment plan based on the patient's specific condition. If there are no symptoms, it is generally not necessary to worry about it; if there are noticeable discomforts such as frequent urination and urgency, further examination of prostatic fluid may be conducted to check if it is caused by chronic prostatitis, and local medical treatment should be sought. BPH can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, medications should be used symptomatically during treatment, and patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
