Prostate enlargement, requiring open surgery. The patient has diabetes and a thrombus in the right leg. I would like to ask, what are the precautions and potential complications that may occur during the surgery?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned, benign prostatic hyperplasia, considering the patient's specific circumstances, it is worth looking into whether transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) can be considered while maintaining good blood sugar control. Based on the situation you described. Have you experienced any recent symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, lower abdominal fullness, or urinary retention? Always maintain a calm mood and avoid anxiety and tension. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications.
