Patient's question:
My uncle is now over 60 years old. He has been diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Currently, he looks particularly weak and often suffers from insomnia and vivid dreams. Hello, how is the treatment for elderly benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Enlargement of the prostate in elderly patients is a physiological enlargement caused by aging, a very common disease among elderly patients. The main symptoms include frequent urination, urinary urgency, discomfort during urination, a feeling of incomplete urination, and difficulty urinating. However, it is generally never accompanied by symptoms such as neurasthenia, frequent dreams, and physical weakness, as in your uncle's case. It is recommended that you take your uncle to a formal specialized hospital for consultation and diagnosis. Psychological counseling can help alleviate your uncle's concerns, and if surgery is necessary, it should be performed.
