Patient's question:
Description of condition: What degree of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) requires treatment?History of treatment and effectiveness: What degree of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) requires treatment?
Expected help: What degree of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) requires treatment?
Doctor's answer:
Urologist introduction: Prostate hyperplasia is divided into three degrees of severity: mild, moderate, and severe. Mild hyperplasia has no symptoms and can be observed long-term without immediate treatment. Moderate hyperplasia causes urination difficulties and requires treatment, which can be achieved through medication, including:1. Priligy, which typically reduces prostate volume and improves symptoms within three months or more.
2. Including Harley, which works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the urethra, but the disadvantage is that it does not reduce prostate volume.
3. Plant-based medications, such as Prostect, which can alleviate symptoms, but their mechanisms of action lack sufficient research.
For severe prostate hyperplasia patients, especially those with complications, surgical treatment should be considered. Common surgical methods include two types:
One is transurethral resection of the prostate, where a laparoscope is inserted into the bladder cavity, and under direct vision, the hyperplastic prostate is removed using high-frequency electricity.
The other method is an open-abdominal surgery.
