Patient's question:
Previously, it was prostatitis. After taking medication for a period of time, it disappeared without a trace. Today, I had a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the kidneys, bladder, and prostate. The detailed findings are as follows: The kidneys are of normal shape and size, with clear structure and no abnormal echoes in the parenchyma. In the upper-middle pole of the right kidney, there is a 0.6 cm × 0.5 cm strong echo with a parallel tubular sign. No fusion is observed in the renal collecting system, and the ureters are not dilated. The bladder is poorly filled, with thick and rough walls, and visible muscle bundles. The prostate is approximately 4.2 cm × 4.3 cm in size, with the inner gland measuring 4.0 cm. It shows benign prostatic hyperplasia with calcified spots. How should benign prostatic hyperplasia with calcified spots be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that the best approach is surgical treatment. If fibrosis reappears, it indicates that early cancerous changes have occurred again, and it has also affected the recently recovered organ—the bladder. In such a case, surgical treatment is necessary, which should be more thorough and prevent the divergence of cancerous changes to avoid future complications in treatment. Wouldn't it be better to (zhěnggù) it once and for all for a more thorough outcome? Once cancer develops, it is difficult to control the cancer cells. Drug treatment is not thorough, and long-term medication is required. Comparing these options, surgical treatment is still the better choice. As long as the surgery is performed in a regular hospital under the guidance of qualified doctors, it provides a basic level of assurance, so you can rest assured.In addition to timely treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
