Patient's question:
I have been experiencing frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination recently. The number of times I go to the bathroom at night has also gradually increased, which greatly affects my ability to take naps. Moreover, urination is particularly difficult for me, and I also have severe pain in my lower abdomen, which has significantly impacted my quality of life. How should I be treated?Doctor's answer:
Surgery remains an important treatment method for benign prostatic hyperplasia. The indications for surgical recovery are: ① Presence of lower urinary tract obstruction symptoms, with significant changes observed in urodynamic tests, or residual urine volume exceeding 60ml; ② Severe unstable bladder symptoms; ③ Development of upper urinary tract obstruction and kidney function impairment; ④ Multiple recurrences of acute urinary retention, urinary tract infections, or gross hematuria; ⑤ Bladder stones in patients with second-degree neuron bladder. For those with long-term urinary tract obstruction and already significant kidney function impairment, surgery should only be performed after complete renal function recovery.
