What should I do if I have benign prostatic hyperplasia and cannot urinate?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know why my lower abdomen is very uncomfortable, and I also don't have morning erections anymore. How should I deal with benign prostatic hyperplasia and difficulty urinating?

Doctor's answer:

For the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the main cause is the proliferation of prostate cells due to various physical and chemical factors, leading to urethral stenosis and urinary obstruction. In severe cases, it can cause urinary retention. The primary treatment is the removal of the enlarged prostate. Currently, the main methods for removing prostate hyperplasia are open surgery and minimally invasive surgery. Open surgery carries high risks and significant pain, with postoperative recovery taking a considerable amount of time. Minimally invasive surgery is performed through the urethra, causing less damage and allowing for faster recovery. It is recommended that you undergo minimally invasive surgery via the urethra.
