Patient's question:
Doctor, I recently experienced increased nocturia and frequent urination again. Later, when I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, they said I have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) that interferes with my urination function and that I need surgery. However, I don't want to have surgery. Is surgery always necessary for male benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it should be a case where benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has reappeared and is severely interfering with urination function. If not treated promptly, it may potentially affect kidney function. Generally, treating BPH can involve several methods such as medication, surgery, and minimally invasive treatments, and it doesn't necessarily have to be surgery. Modern minimally invasive treatments are quite common now, as they are painless and cause less interference to the body. In addition to medication for BPH, patients also need to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as eating a balanced diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also be mindful of choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
