Patient's question:
Recently, I've been urinating more often at night, and it feels like I can't empty my bladder completely. I suspect I might have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). I'd like to ask what are the treatment methods for BPH?Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms are very similar to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), but it is recommended that you undergo a formal and thorough examination at the hospital to identify the cause. The most common treatment for BPH is active surveillance, as not all patients with BPH will require surgical intervention or damage to renal function. Active surveillance involves monitoring how the condition progresses and how it affects the bladder, renal function, and the patient's quality of life and daily activities. Medications such as tamsulosin and finasteride can be used to stabilize prostate volume.
