Patient's question:
I am 42 years old this year. A few weeks ago, I was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and the doctor recommended that I have surgery for it. However, I am very busy with work and do not have much time to have the surgery. So, I would like to know how long does the surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia take?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease among middle-aged and elderly people. For the treatment of prostate hyperplasia, if drug therapy is not effective, surgical treatment should indeed be considered. The best method for surgical treatment of prostate hyperplasia is minimally invasive surgery. The surgery time is relatively short, and recovery is also faster. Under normal circumstances, the surgery can be successfully completed in about an hour, and recovery can be achieved in about a month post-surgery. For patients with prostate hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
