Patient's question:
Two years ago, I found out I had some kidney stones, but this year I also found out I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hydronephrosis is the expansion of the renal pelvis and calyces accompanied by the swelling of renal tissue, caused by urinary tract obstruction. Hydronephrosis is a relatively serious condition, and if not treated promptly, it may lead to severe consequences such as uremia. Therefore, I recommend close and careful observation in the hospital to determine if surgery is necessary. Prostate hyperplasia tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek immediate treatment at a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. It is also important to control sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
