What are the treatment methods for benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

I am 33 years old and have recently been feeling uncomfortable with urination. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). What are the treatment methods for benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment methods for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) currently include two main approaches: medication-based treatment and surgical treatment. Your specific condition is unclear. The most commonly used method for BPH is active surveillance, as not all cases of BPH will progress. Most people will stabilize at a certain stage, while a smaller portion will continue to worsen, potentially leading to symptoms such as kidney damage and bladder dysfunction. In the early stages of BPH, frequent urination, especially nocturia, may occur.
