Patient's question:
My husband has had a urinary retention issue for over three years. Besides urgency and frequent urination, he has always been reluctant to seek medical treatment himself. It wasn't until May of this year that he went to the hospital for an ultrasound. The color Doppler ultrasound results showed a prostate size of 534327mm, with multiple echo spots inside, including one measuring 32mm. The ultrasound confirmed: benign prostatic hyperplasia with a tendency for calcification.Doctor's answer:
The patient currently has symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and has again experienced discomfort during urination. It is recommended to seek timely treatment at a regular hospital for medication to reduce or alleviate the patient's urinary symptoms. The long-term goal is to slow the progression of the disease and prevent the recurrence of complications. If left untreated, urinary symptoms may significantly impact the patient's quality of life, or the medication may be ineffective, potentially leading to the recurrence of complications and necessitating surgical treatment.
