Patient's question:
A year ago, I experienced difficulty urinating again. After finishing, there was always a dripping sensation, and I felt a burning pain in the urethra. There was also a persistent dull ache in the lower abdomen. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, the doctor said it was caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. Can benign prostatic hyperplasia be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic fibrosis, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is one of the common diseases in urology. With age, its incidence rate gradually decreases, making it a frequent condition treated in urology. It is primarily characterized by progressive urinary difficulties and frequent nocturia. For the treatment of this disease, if the patient experiences severe symptoms but maintains good overall health, surgical treatment is often considered. Long-term medication is usually required. Additionally, male patients should seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital promptly. Treatment should be planned based on thorough examination results. It is also important to quit smoking and drinking and maintain good personal hygiene.
