Can benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor? Can benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated? Difficulty urinating, incomplete emptying, and 4-5 nighttime urinations.

Doctor's answer:

Prostate hyperplasia is a curable disease from a surgical perspective. For the vast majority of patients with prostate hyperplasia, although medication treatment is implemented, it is currently included in the national health insurance as a chronic disease, allowing for treatment similar to that of hypertension, coronary heart disease, and diabetes. They can take medication long-term. However, when their symptoms worsen, leading to a significant number of complications recurring, we can adopt surgical treatment methods.
