Patient's question:
My father is 70 years old this year. Because he urinates too frequently during sleep, he went to our hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia. The doctor recommended surgery for treatment, but we are worried about whether the benign prostatic hyperplasia can be cured given his advanced age.Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia has a high incidence rate in elderly men. In clinical diagnosis, surgical treatment can achieve excellent results. Currently, surgical treatment for prostate hyperplasia has been actively developed and is very mature both domestically and internationally. Minimally invasive surgery is non-invasive and does not cause pressure, but preoperative comprehensive evaluation and testing of the elderly's physical condition are also necessary. If there are risks, non-surgical treatment methods can also be used to treat patients with prostate hyperplasia. Timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If treatment is not timely, it may affect fertility, so patients need to take medication promptly according to their symptoms. Additionally, a regular lifestyle should be maintained in daily life.
