Patient's question:
Which hospital is good for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia? Which hospital is good for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia? Is there no good hospital for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic hyperplasia, formerly known as benign prostatic hypertrophy, is one of the common diseases among elderly men. It is a benign inflammatory condition of the prostate, with its onset related to endocrine disorders involving the balance of androgens and estrogens in the human body. The inflammation originates from glandular tissue, connective tissue, and smooth muscle tissue in the middle lobe or lateral lobe of the posterior urethral mucosa, forming mixed spherical nodules. The fibrosis is most prominent in the lateral and middle lobes, which can invade the bladder or urethra, inhibiting the bladder neck or urethra and leading to lower urinary tract obstruction. Chronic inflammation can result in renal and damage to kidney function. Additionally, for patients with prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it can affect fertility.
