Patient's question:
Nearly a year ago, I started experiencing difficulty urinating and began using Proscar, but the effect was not very good. Now, the symptoms of frequent urination, urgent urination, hesitation during urination, and difficulty urinating have further improved. Especially during the noon break, I urinate three or four times within half an hour, always feeling like I can't empty my bladder completely, and I also have a sense of lower abdominal fullness and pain. How should I be treated urgently with surgical intervention?Help needed: I have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). How should I urgently undergo surgery?
Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is likely benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Medication can be used for symptomatic treatment initially, and surgery is not necessarily required immediately. Generally, medications like Qian Mao Shu Kang capsules and Shen Niu Tong can be used for symptomatic treatment, which may help stabilize symptoms. Additionally, the patient should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water to prevent the condition from recurring. The above is advice for this issue. I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
