Does mild benign prostatic hyperplasia need treatment?

Patient's question:

I am 45 years old. Recently, my company had a health check-up, so I went for it. The doctor said I might have some mild prostatic hyperplasia. Since the prostate is quite important for men, and apart from normal sexual activity, I would like to ask if there is a need for treatment for mild prostatic hyperplasia when I don't have severe symptoms.

Doctor's answer:

Reappearing. Mild prostatic hyperplasia is generally believed not to require any treatment. If it is prostatic hyperplasia with fibrosis, severe reappearing of frequent urination, urinary pain, incomplete urination, and difficulty urinating occurs. At this time, it is necessary to make a decision to undergo surgical treatment, while also taking oral traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning to achieve better therapeutic effects. Medications should be used under the guidance of a local doctor.
