Patient's question:
An 88-year-old patient with benign prostatic hyperplasia is unable to urinate. They have had a catheter inserted for a week now! I would like to ask if there are any good methods for treatment? Can an 88-year-old patient still undergo surgery with anesthesia? They currently have diabetes and a stroke.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if the patient's condition interferes with urination, surgery is required. The patient's age is still quite advanced, and if it indeed interferes with urination, it is still necessary to consider surgical treatment. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia who rest moderately, in addition to timely treatment, they also need to pay attention to maintaining good dietary habits in daily life to digest and absorb nutrients.
