Patient's question:
I have benign prostatic hyperplasia, hydronephrosis, and symptoms of hypertension. I have been taking medication for benign prostatic hyperplasia for a while and feel a bit better myself, but a careful examination of residual urine shows only 139. What are some good methods for treatment besides this?Doctor's answer:
It has now been confirmed that it is benign prostatic hyperplasia. Medication treatment has shown improvement, but it has not completely resolved the issue. Moreover, based on your residual urine volume, it is relatively large, indicating that the pressure on the prostate is quite severe. It is recommended that you consider undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate under cystoscopy. Prostate enlargement can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during the treatment.
