Patient's question:
Doctor, my grandfather has an enlarged prostate. Originally, he was scheduled for surgery at the hospital. Due to an irregular heartbeat, he stayed in the hospital for several days receiving intravenous drips, but his heart rhythm remains the same. Considering his advanced age and discomfort with his heart, the hospital is hesitant to perform the surgery and has recommended that he be admitted to the hospital instead. So, I was wondering if it's possible to book the surgery online now, and what are the approximate costs besides the surgery fee? What should be done about my grandfather's enlarged prostate?Doctor's answer:
Prostate enlargement is one of the common diseases among elderly men, and its incidence shows a decreasing trend year by year. This disease, especially in its early stages, is often underestimated by some people, resulting in it becoming increasingly severe. It is important to pay attention to genital hygiene and maintain cleanliness to prevent infections. For patients with prostate issues, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
