Patient's question:
Currently, nocturia and urinary urgency are severe, with 5-6 episodes per night, severely affecting sleep. Medication is no longer effective.Doctor's answer:
Comparison of Treatment Methods for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)When BPH progresses to the middle stage, urethral obstruction worsens, urethral resistance increases, and it exceeds the bladder's ability to empty urine. Patients may experience symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. The urine in the bladder cannot be completely emptied, leading to residual urine. At this stage, if the patient is excessively fatigued, exposed to cold, or consumes alcohol, it may cause urethral mucosal edema, further aggravating the obstruction. Acute urinary retention may occur. If the patient is treated promptly with catheterization and medication, normal urination can usually be restored.
In the advanced stage, urethral obstruction becomes severe, and the bladder's compensatory function is insufficient. The amount of residual urine in the bladder continues to increase. When it exceeds 200 milliliters, a mass can be felt in the patient's lower abdomen. Urination becomes weak and intermittent, with a dripping flow.
What medications should be taken for BPH growth, and what methods can effectively treat benign prostatic hyperplasia? This is the question many patients most want to know. If you choose traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, I recommend Snitong Prostatic Capsules.
