Is surgical treatment necessary for benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

My father has benign prostatic hyperplasia. Is surgery absolutely necessary?

Doctor's answer:

For your question, benign prostatic hyperplasia is mainly caused by chronic prostatitis that has not been treated and cured for a long time, which leads to hyperplasia.
Guidance:
In such a case, you need to go to the urology department of the hospital to check the specific condition of benign prostatic hyperplasia. If it causes severe compression of the urethra and affects urination, surgical treatment is necessary. If the hyperplasia is not particularly severe, you can use traditional Chinese medicine decoction for steam bathing to improve blood circulation in the prostate and prevent further worsening.
