Patient's question:
Frequency of urination at night, without pain, please ask the doctor, can the test just uploaded be used to diagnose benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Surgery remains an important treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia. The indications for surgery include: ① symptoms of lower urinary tract obstruction, with significant changes in urodynamic tests, or residual urine volume exceeding 60 mL; ② severe symptoms of an unstable bladder; ③ causing upper urinary tract obstruction and renal damage; ④ multiple episodes of acute urinary retention, urinary tract infection, or gross hematuria; ⑤ concurrent bladder stones. For patients with long-term urinary tract obstruction, significant renal damage, severe urinary tract infection, or acute urinary retention, a catheter should be inserted first to relieve the obstruction. Surgery should be performed only after the infection is controlled and renal function has recovered. If catheter insertion is difficult or prolonged, leading to urethritis, suprapubic bladder puncture and drainage may be an alternative. The indications for emergency transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) must be strictly adhered to.
