Patient's question:
Over the past year, every time I urinate, it feels like something is blocking it, dripping and dribbling, and I just can't urinate. It's painful due to the blockage. There are white secretions at the urethral opening, and my prostate is very red and swollen. My libido has also decreased. Yesterday, I even urinated blood. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was benign prostatic hyperplasia.What kind of help I need: How much does benign prostatic hyperplasia cost?
Doctor's answer:
The cost of treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) depends on the treatment method. Surgery generally costs around 4,000 to 5,000 yuan. Surgical removal of the fibrotic prostate is considered the root method for self-healing BPH. The surgical approaches for BPH include the following:1. Bilateral orchiectomy, suitable for palliative surgery;
2. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), suitable for palliative surgery;
3. Suprapubic transvesical prostatectomy, suitable for open surgery;
4. Retropubic prostatectomy, suitable for open surgery;
5. Perineal prostatectomy, suitable for open surgery.
