Patient's question:
Dr. Wang, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination because of urination problems. They said I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. I'm only 44 years old this year! I want to ask, what is benign prostatic hyperplasia? What kind of medicine is good for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia in men?Doctor's answer:
Previously, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) was often treated with medication, primarily targeting symptoms caused by urinary obstruction, such as frequent urination and difficulty urinating. Methods like transurethral laser therapy, microwave, and radiofrequency were also used. However, these approaches only address the symptoms rather than the root cause and are prone to recurrence.It is recommended that you actively seek treatment at a formal urology hospital. Experts will develop a tailored treatment plan based on your condition to achieve a curative outcome. For patients with BPH, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may negatively impact overall health.
