Patient's question:
Prostate hyperplasia, there needs to be a detailed examination at your place to diagnose it. In a routine health check-up, it was found that no films were taken, only it was written that there is prostate hyperplasia. I would like to have a detailed examination at your place. Could you tell us what kind of detailed examination we need to have there?Doctor's answer:
The diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can be made through a digital rectal exam or ultrasound. In terms of treatment, mild fibrosis does not mean no treatment is needed, and severe fibrosis does require treatment. Whether treatment is necessary depends on how BPH affects urination, so you will also need to undergo a post-voiding residual urine test. For patients with BPH, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
