Patient's question:
My main symptoms are lower limb edema, difficulty urinating, lower abdominal pain, lower back pain, and weakness in all four limbs. Later, after a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. I would like to ask the doctor what are the consequences of benign prostatic hyperplasia. I haven't taken any treatment yet?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the main issue is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which frequently causes urination difficulties and abdominal bloating. If left untreated for a long time, it can lead to hydronephrosis and kidney damage, which greatly interferes with the body. For BPH, medication can be used for initial treatment. If the effect is not satisfactory, minimally invasive surgery can be considered. This approach helps control the disease. During treatment, avoid spicy foods and alcohol, and it is essential to maintain a positive mood.
