Patient's question:
Recently, there have been several middle-aged and elderly men visiting our hospital for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). I wonder why so many elderly people suffer from this condition. What are the causes of BPH? What are the common treatment methods generally used? How is benign prostatic hyperplasia treated?Doctor's answer:
When the prostate is enlarged, the first step is to go to a local hospital to diagnose the severity of the prostate enlargement. If the prostate is quite swollen, it can be treated primarily through surgical removal of the prostate. If the prostate enlargement is relatively mild, preventive medications can be used during clinical diagnosis and treatment. For example, Prostect tablets and capsules can be used. When symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria reappear, medications like Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Sustained-Release Tablets can be used for symptomatic treatment.
