Patient's question:
Is surgical treatment possible for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? I have been taking medication so far, but after more than a year, it hasn't been very effective, so I want to consider surgical treatment. However, I'm still relatively young, and my BPH has a genetic component. Will surgery cause any complications?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a relatively serious urological disease. It is a common condition among middle-aged and elderly men. Teenage boys aged 20 should not experience this issue. If prostate hyperplasia is present, it is mostly associated with prostatitis. The specific treatment method should be determined after a thorough examination. If the hyperplasia is indeed severe and fibrosis occurs, surgery may be necessary. For patients with prostate hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications.
