Patient's question:
Last December, my father had a surgical procedure for prostate and urinary retention in the hospital. After the surgery, the catheter was repeatedly inserted, and it has been done three times so far. The doctor said that the prostate has grown, leading to difficulty in urination. Seeking a solution on how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
After your father's post-prostatectomy and catheter removal, he again experienced difficulty urinating. He inquired about the cause, which may be due to incomplete removal during the surgery. In your case, it is possible that it was not a traditional prostatectomy but rather a laser surgery, which may have been insufficiently effective. Prostate conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek immediate treatment at a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Furthermore, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
