Patient's question:
Hello, how is the treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Treatment of Prostate Hyperplasia:1. Mild enlargement does not require treatment.
2. Estrogen therapy: For severe acute urinary retention or difficulty urinating, a slightly larger 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 hyperplasia, some chronic 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. For patients with prostate hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
