Patient's question:
I feel very uncomfortable in my private area, and that feeling is indescribable. It affects my work and life significantly, which is very troublesome. How much does the surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia cost? Can I recover?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as benign prostatic hypertrophy, is one of the common diseases among elderly men. The cause of the condition is related to endocrine disorders in sex hormone balance in the elderly, which can lead to urinary tract obstruction. Severe cases may result in kidney function impairment or even lead to uremia. Treatment for prostate hyperplasia includes medication and surgery. Medication is suitable for cases with mild symptoms and residual urine volume below 50 milliliters, while surgery is the primary method for treating prostate hyperplasia. Therefore, the cost needs to be comprehensively evaluated based on your symptoms, physical signs, and auxiliary examinations.
