Patient's question:
Why do people get benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? What should be paid attention to when suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a degenerative condition of the prostate that occurs in middle-aged men, requiring ultrasound for definitive diagnosis. Typical early symptoms include frequent urination, followed by urinary urgency, dysuria, and difficulty urinating. If left untreated for a long time, it can lead to sexual dysfunction and other complications. In cases of older age, difficulty with imaging, or significant symptoms, a urinary catheter may be necessary. Severe cases may require consideration of prostatectomy. Minimally invasive transurethral vaporization resection is widely used in clinical diagnosis. For patients with prostate hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
