Patient's question:
An ultrasound revealed benign prostatic hyperplasia. Sometimes, I experience frequent urination, urgency, incomplete emptying of the bladder, and discomfort during urination. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Now, for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the general medication prescribed is usually Prazosin tablets. Since you are not seeing significant effects, it is possible that your fibrosis has further progressed, which is why the medication is not working as well. You could try Chinese herbal medicine as an alternative. If that also doesn’t yield results, surgical treatment is still recommended.I suggest you get a check-up to see the extent of your BPH. If it is quite severe, early surgical treatment would be the best approach. For patients with BPH, timely treatment can help reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health.
