Patient's question:
I have been suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia for nearly 5 years. I have been taking medication, but it has not shown any improvement. Recently, the frequency of urination has become increasingly severe, and each time I urinate, I feel intense pain in my lower body. What treatment methods are available?Doctor's answer:
1. Surgical treatment2. Non-surgical treatment: Suitable for cases with mild urinary tract obstruction, or elderly and frail patients, or those with impaired cardiopulmonary function who cannot tolerate surgery.
3. Cryotherapy.
4. Microwave and radiofrequency treatment: The treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia involves the recurrence of coagulation and suppuration after the action of microwave and radiofrequency waves, leading to the shedding of fibrotic prostate tissue to achieve therapeutic goals.
5. Laser treatment: In the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, the laser can vaporize fibrotic prostate tissue through an optical fiber under endoscopic visualization to achieve therapeutic purposes.
