Patient's question:
Male, 82 years old. Admitted to the hospital on April 9th due to lower abdominal and waist distension. After abdominal catheterization, the results were not satisfactory. Currently, he has been hospitalized for 31 days and still experiences urinary pain, difficulty urinating, and incomplete urination. Now considering whether surgical treatment is possible?Doctor's answer:
At your father's age, it is also possible to undergo a prostate surgery. As long as there are no other conditions that cannot tolerate the surgery and the body can endure it, the surgery can be performed without significant risk, specifically for this procedure. Prostate hyperplasia can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
