Patient's question:
Doctor, my father had a prostate removal surgery 11 years ago. Recently, he has experienced symptoms of frequent urination and difficulty urinating again. What could be the cause? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on the description of your situation, it is preliminarily considered that there should be symptoms of recurrent urethral obstruction due to postoperative benign prostatic hyperplasia. It is recommended that you take the elderly person to a regular hospital's urology department for a follow-up visit, undergo an abdominal ultrasound, and have a series of urine tests to determine the condition. After identifying the situation, symptomatic treatment can be administered. We hope to assist you in achieving this. Long-term medication is required, and attention should be paid to quitting smoking and drinking alcohol. Personal hygiene in the affected area should also be paid attention to in daily life.
