Patient's question:
This is what my husband told me that he carefully checked and found benign prostatic hyperplasia. I was shocked. However, my husband said it's nothing serious. I really don't trust the prescription from his hospital. I want to ask, what medication is used for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
The prostate is a male-specific urogenital accessory gland. Its location is highly unique and it is connected to the seminal vesicles and the ejaculatory ducts. The prostatic fluid it secretes is a crucial component of semen. If the prostate encounters issues, it often leads to male infertility and can infect other organs of the urinary and reproductive systems. Due to its location and unique structure (having a hard lipid capsule that prevents drugs from penetrating), the effectiveness of purely medicinal treatment is often poor, with some drugs being completely ineffective. Therefore, current mainstream urological hospitals adopt a comprehensive evaluation and treatment approach, with surgical treatment as the foundation.
