Patient's question:
In the past few months, I've been feeling severe lower back pain, weakness in my limbs, and a stinging sensation every time I urinate. I've been experiencing frequent and urgent urination, as well as redness and swelling in my prostate. It hurts when touched, and my libido has significantly decreased. My spirits are also very low. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the diagnosis was benign prostatic hyperplasia.Doctor's answer:
The cost of treating benign prostatic hyperplasia cannot be generalized; some cases may cost a few hundred yuan, while others may require thousands. Treatment options include medication and surgery. Medication is suitable for cases with mild symptoms and residual urine volume below 50 milliliters. Surgical treatment is the primary method for benign prostatic hyperplasia, and the specific surgical approach must be determined through a comprehensive evaluation that considers symptoms, physical signs, and auxiliary tests. Benign prostatic hyperplasia can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, appropriate medication, and avoiding prolonged sitting or standing are essential. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene.
