Patient's question:
Does benign prostatic hyperplasia always require surgical treatment? My father has had benign prostatic hyperplasia for many years, and the doctor said medication cannot cure it. Is that true? Does benign prostatic hyperplasia always need surgery in the end?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition:If medication is ineffective or symptoms persistently worsen, surgical treatment can be considered for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Recommendations:
Surgical treatment can also be very effective. Some procedures can be minimally invasive, with a quicker recovery time. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is also a commonly used method. I believe most people are aware that BPH can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, avoiding foods, and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
