Patient's question:
Is the cost of treating benign prostatic hyperplasia high? I have benign prostatic hyperplasia, and my symptoms have recently worsened. I want to undergo treatment but don't know if the cost is high? Is the cost of treating benign prostatic hyperplasia high?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia can be treated with medication, but a small number of patients still require surgical treatment. For patients whose medication is ineffective or who refuse medication, and who develop complications such as recurrent urinary retention, recurrent hematuria, recurrent urinary tract infections, bladder stones, and secondary bilateral hydronephrosis, surgical treatment is recommended. Generally, surgical removal of the prostate is the fastest treatment method, and early treatment is crucial. For detailed advice, it is best to consult the hospital where you are treated. It is recommended to go to a private Grade III-A hospital, as it offers better basic guarantees. Prostate hyperplasia can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long.
