Patient's question:
What should I do if I have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? After a routine check-up at the hospital, I was diagnosed with BPH. For a moment, I didn't know what to say. What I wanted to know was, what should I do if I have BPH?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease in elderly men, clinically difficulty urinating. Due to urine being stored in the bladder for a long time, it is prone to form stones, leading to repeated urinary tract obstruction. After the formation of bladder stones, prostate hyperplasia has indications for surgical intervention, and lithotripsy treatment should be performed. Based on the condition of urinary tract obstruction, surgical treatment for prostate hyperplasia can be performed simultaneously, including transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), open surgery, or laser surgery.
