Patient's question:
What methods can quickly treat benign prostatic hyperplasia? What are the treatment methods for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia:1. Mild enlargement does not require treatment.
2. Estrogen therapy: For severe acute urinary retention or difficulty urinating, a slightly higher dosage can be started.
3. During acute urinary retention, acupuncture can be applied to points such as Guanyuan, Qihai, Sanyinjiao, and Yanglingquan. Catheterization should be performed to eliminate urinary retention, and the catheter should be retained to gradually empty the bladder.
4. Surgical treatment: For larger prostate enlargement, recurrent acute urinary retention, significant residual urine (60–100 mL or more), urinary tract infection, impaired renal function, or cases where the above treatments are ineffective, prostatectomy is recommended.
