Is there any difficulty in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

It seems there are some issues with the prostate. There is pain during frequent urination, and sometimes I feel my libido has decreased, to the point where I don't even want sexual activity. Even if I force it, it's not sustainable.

Doctor's answer:

Some people, due to their reluctance to speak up, become numb to their illnesses and pains, resorting to the "endure" method. As a result, minor illnesses are prolonged into major ones, missing the best opportunity for treatment. Patients with untreatable prostate diseases often bear a significant mental burden, frequently experiencing symptoms such as neurasthenia, anxiety, and depression. The unique urinary symptoms of this disease—such as frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, incomplete urination, and lower abdominal and perineal pain—greatly affect daily life and work. Most patients suffer from reduced libido, premature ejaculation, erectile pain, painful ejaculation, and hematospermia, which impact marital life and relationships. It may also lead to infertility and declining kidney function. In severe cases of prostate hyperplasia, it can even progress to uremia.
