How is benign prostatic hyperplasia primarily treated?

Patient's question:

This year has already started, and my glans has been experiencing a burning sensation. Wearing pants also feels very irritating and uncomfortable. Even the groin area feels uncomfortable, and even the groin area, which is not frequently touched, feels uncomfortable! Urine is yellow, and sometimes it has a stinging sensation! What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Drink more water to dissolve urine and reduce the harm caused by high-concentration urine irritation to the prostate. Do not hold urine, as holding urine can cause adverse stimulation to the bladder and prostate. Control sexual activity. The treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia mainly depends on whether symptoms are present. Treatment is only necessary when symptoms reappear. In the early stages, oral medication can be used. If oral medication becomes ineffective in the later stages, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) can be performed. Benign prostatic hyperplasia can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment. Patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
