How is benign prostatic hyperplasia specifically treated?

Patient's question:

Before confirming the diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia, it was said that the prostate is currently 5.2x4.0x2.7. The doctor recommended surgery. Are there other methods besides this? If surgery is performed, what is the best surgical method currently.

Doctor's answer:

Prostate hyperplasia doesn't have a specific cure. Generally, medication can only reduce symptoms. It cannot be completely cured. First, it is still recommended to take Proscar under the guidance of a local doctor, along with appropriate antibiotic treatment for anti-inflammatory purposes. Quit smoking and drinking alcohol. Avoid spicy foods. Increase the frequency of sexual activity. Additionally, if there is urinary retention, a urinary catheter may be necessary. If urinary retention occurs repeatedly or is severe, surgical treatment may be required.
