Patient's question:
Doctor, my benign prostatic hyperplasia has been going on for 34 years. Over the years, I have been taking medication, all kinds of medicine, both Chinese and Western medicine, but it hasn't improved at all. I just want to ask, can benign prostatic hyperplasia be cured after suffering from it for three or four years?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia can be stabilized with treatment, improve quality of life, slow disease progression, and prevent the recurrence of complications, but as of now, it cannot be cured. Prostate hyperplasia has been present for three or four years. If medication does not show improvement, minimally invasive surgery can be considered for treatment. It is recommended that you visit the urology department of a larger hospital for a follow-up examination. Based on the examination results, the doctor can then determine the appropriate treatment method. Prostate hyperplasia is prone to recurring.
