Patient's question:
My father was diagnosed with a condition called Parkinson's and benign prostatic hyperplasia this year. I would like to ask what should be done about Parkinson's and benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Father is 74 years old this year. He has suffered from Parkinson's disease for over ten years. Currently, he has benign prostatic hyperplasia with difficulty urinating, and surgery is considered possible as long as there are no contraindications. His physical condition is relatively good, making surgery a viable option. If he does not want surgery, a urinary diversion (bladder fistula) can also be performed to manage benign prostatic hyperplasia, which can be stabilized. However, the treatment period is generally long, and the risk of recurrence is high after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor and appropriate medication during treatment is essential. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet during the treatment period.
