Patient's question:
Difficulty urinating, past treatment and effectiveness: Without treatment, what kind of assistance is needed: What medication is used for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease in the elderly, and its onset is related to both the effects of androgens and estrogens. Progressive urinary difficulty is the most important symptom of BPH.Recommendations: For milder symptoms, drug treatment has a good therapeutic effect. Under the guidance of a local doctor, oral administration of Puhuan tablets may be necessary, and antibiotic anti-inflammatory treatment may also be required. If the residual urine volume in the bladder is less than 50 ml or if acute urinary retention has occurred again, surgical treatment should be considered. Surgical options include transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), suprapubic transvesical prostatectomy, and retropubic prostatectomy. It is recommended to drink more water regularly.
