Patient's question:
Since last week, I have experienced swelling in my lower body. Sometimes when I go to the toilet, I can't urinate, and even when I have the urge to urinate, it comes out in intermittent streams. The clothes and pants I change also have a foul odor. My wife is very upset with me, and my spirits have also declined. After a check-up, I found out that it was caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the treatment plan for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) depends on the patient's own feelings and symptoms. Generally, medication is only suitable for the early stage of BPH. After taking the medication, symptoms can be relieved. However, if the patient still feels that the symptoms are not relieved after taking the medication, surgical treatment can be chosen. It is recommended to go to a professional urological hospital for examination to understand the condition clearly. Then, choose the appropriate treatment method based on the examination results and the patient's symptoms.
