Patient's question:
Four years ago, I took for over a year, but it was ineffective, so I stopped taking it. Because I have a small hepatitis B surface antigen and elevated alanine aminotransferase. This year, I feel the symptoms are obvious, with about 4 nighttime urinations accompanied by urination hesitation. Originally, I wanted to use finasteride, but I saw that it damages the liver and even increases the risk of diabetes and breast cancer. How can it be a bad deal? I am worried about postoperative complications and seek a therapy with minimal side effects.Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, currently only 48 years old, surgery is not considered for the time being. Medication treatment is the best decision. The prostate volume has decreased, but not significantly, so Finasteride is not needed. Tamsulosin and Terazosin are used. Prostate hyperplasia is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment in professional and regular hospitals in a timely manner. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, sexual activity should be restricted, and a good mood should be maintained.
