Patient's question:
During the health check, the doctor said I have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and what are the differences between fibrosis and hypertrophy?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common and prevalent condition among middle-aged and elderly men. In recent years, due to the gradual expansion of minimally invasive technology, the treatment methods for prostate hyperplasia have undergone significant changes. Previously, medication was commonly used to address symptoms caused by urinary obstruction, such as frequent urination and difficulty urinating. Methods like transurethral laser therapy, microwave, and radiofrequency were also employed. However, these approaches only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause and are prone to recurrence.
