Patient's question:
Old man, 72 years old, with benign prostatic hyperplasia, experiencing abdominal pain when urinating and unable to urinate, what should he do? Should he have surgery?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, there is a condition of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Please follow up for timely examination. Catheterization is possible. It is recommended that you visit the surgical department of a local hospital for follow-up. First, use a catheter to drain the urine. Then, undergo a color Doppler ultrasound examination. If there are no surgical contraindications, surgical removal can be considered for treatment. In fact, having benign prostatic hyperplasia is not at all. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected in time and symptomatic treatment is provided, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
