Patient's question:
Does benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) necessarily require surgery? How much will it cost? Are there any ways to solve it? It has been troubling me for a long time, and I feel uncomfortable. I need a solution.Doctor's answer:
Hello, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease in elderly men. The main symptoms are progressive urinary difficulties, frequent urination, urinary urgency, incomplete urination, and dribbling after urination. In severe cases, it can lead to urinary retention. The treatment for BPH depends on the specific situation. If the symptoms are not significant and the residual urine is not substantial, oral medications such as "Finasteride Tablets" and "Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Sustained-Release Capsules" can be used for treatment, which is also quite effective. If it causes urinary retention and the residual urine is greater than 60 milliliters, surgical treatment should be considered. As for costs, they vary daily from hospital to hospital. There are some treatment methods for BPH.
