Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for many years, and we have not used any contraception, but we have never been able to get pregnant. After checking the hospital, I learned that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. How can it be treated well?Doctor's answer:
Hello, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as benign prostatic hypertrophy, is a common disease that affects the health of elderly men due to a significant enlargement of the prostate. Severe symptoms of BPH can only be treated with surgery, such as: urinary pain, urinary urgency, and incomplete urination. If the symptoms are not too severe, medication and many auxiliary treatments can be used without the need for surgery. It is recommended to go to the hospital for diagnosis. If the condition is severe, surgery is definitely necessary, and the aftereffects it brings are relatively small compared to the impact of BPH itself! It is advised to have the surgery at a local people's hospital.In addition, during the treatment of BPH, besides taking medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat appropriately to avoid unnecessary negative effects on the recovery of BPH.
