Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that I always want to urinate at night, but when I go to the toilet, it seems like there isn't much urine. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said it was benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). What are the treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
After watching your explanation, it is understood that after the age of 40, men will experience benign prostatic hyperplasia again, and it will continue to grow every year. When the volume reaches a certain extent, symptoms such as shortening of the posterior urethra and decreased urethral resistance may reappear. Symptoms such as frequent urination, especially nocturia, and difficulty urinating may also reappear. Medications can be used to alleviate symptoms and reduce quality of life. However, not all patients' conditions will progress to severe complications; only a very small number will. Therefore, based on the expansion and severity of the condition, the treatment method of careful observation and waiting can be adopted first.
