Patient's question:

My prostate has been very painful recently, the pain is quite noticeable, and my urine is often red. Sometimes I also feel a sense of fullness in the prostate area. At times, I often can't finish dinner, and my body feels very weak. What are the common treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

Transurethral resection of the prostate with electric loop is currently a common method for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. Compared to traditional surgery, it offers advantages such as less psychological trauma, less pain, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stays. It stabilizes the characteristics of previous transurethral resection of the prostate, which involved significant psychological trauma, multiple skin incisions, and prolonged bladder irrigation. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to prevent prolonged sitting.
