Patient's question:
My grandfather has been complaining about difficulty urinating lately, and sometimes he experiences a sudden urge to urinate, as if he can't empty his bladder completely. Since he's already getting older, sometimes he doesn't even notice it anymore. What kind of help is needed: How should one treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Currently, it is relatively common for individuals of this age to experience the aforementioned conditions, so you don't need to worry too much. If necessary, you can return for a follow-up examination to thoroughly check and consider whether it may be related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Later, you can decide to visit the urology outpatient department of a regular hospital in your area for a thorough examination. This can be combined with an ultrasound examination to confirm the cause. Only then can a more effective treatment plan be determined. During this period, it is also important to pay attention because severe cases of BPH may require surgical treatment.
