Patient's question:
I originally had liver polyps, which have been present for over a decade, and it hasn't caused any major issues. However, recently, I've been experiencing frequent mild abdominal pain. Over the past week, the pain has become noticeably more frequent. Today, I had an ultrasound examination at the hospital, and it didn't reveal any changes in the liver polyps, but it did detect benign prostatic hyperplasia and fibrous plaques. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia and fibrosis will never be life-threatening, but they can affect male sexual function and fertility. Frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination can also impact daily life. If the prostate hyperplasia is mild, with an IPSS score around 7, it can be carefully monitored without treatment. For more severe cases, medication, surgical treatment, or minimally invasive treatment may be required. The earlier and more timely the treatment for prostate hyperplasia, the shorter the course of treatment and the more significant the therapeutic effect. It is recommended that you visit a hospital promptly for relevant examinations to understand your condition and then adopt corresponding treatment measures.
