How should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?

Patient's question:

Dad hasn't been drinking much water recently, but he's been going to the bathroom very frequently, especially at night when he always gets up to use the restroom. Even though he clearly feels the urge to urinate, he can't actually produce urine when he gets to the toilet. If he tries to force it out, he even ends up urinating blood. He quickly went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia. What should he do now?

Doctor's answer:

Prostate hyperplasia mainly manifests as:
1. Frequent urination.
2. Progressive urinary difficulty.
3. Hematuria.
The patient's bladder becomes extremely distended, causing pain, frequent urges to urinate, restlessness, and difficulty sleeping. The condition of prostate hyperplasia tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals, considering treatment based on thorough examination results. It is also important to quit smoking and drinking and maintain good personal hygiene.
