Patient's question:
I felt some pain and discomfort during urination at the beginning of this year. At that time, I didn't pay much attention to it. Later, the symptoms of urgent and incomplete urination reappeared, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor told me that I have prostatic fibrosis. My friend recommended that I undergo transurethral resection. Is the transurethral resection surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia safe?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is generally treated through surgical resection of the prostate, which is a relatively common treatment method. It is generally considered to be quite safe, although the complete recovery time after surgery is approximately half a month to one month. Post-surgery, irrigation with saline is also required. If there is pain or discomfort during urination, it may also be a urinary tract disease, not necessarily prostate hyperplasia. Temporary use of antibacterial drugs may also be necessary for coordination.
