Patient's question:
I have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which has been around for about a year. It has now significantly affected my life. Previously, I had been taking medication to manage it, but I felt it wasn't particularly valuable. The doctor at the hospital recommended that I have surgery. Hello, is the transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) safe?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia can lead to frequent urination, urgency, lower back pain, and fatigue. It may also cause incomplete urination, frequent nighttime urination, and possible lower abdominal pain. If oral medication alone is not effective, physical therapy measures like the one mentioned above can be used. However, there are certain risks involved. Prostatectomy cannot be performed if the patient is pregnant. Additionally, during treatment, the patient's diet and care are also crucial. It is essential to pay attention to diet and consume light foods to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above information helps you. Thank you.
