Is surgical treatment effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

Prostate pain when straining, the doctor said I have benign prostatic hyperplasia, and surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia is not effective.

Doctor's answer:

The position of the prostate, when gently pressed, causes pain, which requires consideration of bacterial infection or inflammation. Antibiotics are relatively effective in combating infection when used in coordination. However, if the prostate is reduced in size or enlarged, it indicates acute bacterial inflammation. In addition, for individuals with prostate hyperplasia, the primary symptoms are frequent urination, urgency, and urinary dysfunction, which typically require surgical treatment to remove the overgrown, fibrotic glandular tissue.
