Patient's question:
Patient: Male, 56 years old, with frequent urination and urgency. Ultrasound shows prostate size 31mm x 42mm, mid-lobe protrusion of 6mm with strong echo shadows visible within, approximately 17mm x 7mm in size. Ultrasound diagnosis: slight sand-like stones in both kidneys, prostate hyperplasia with calcification. What medication should I take?Doctor's answer:
Hello, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as benign prostatic hypertrophy, is a common and prevalent condition among middle-aged and elderly men. BPH primarily manifests as bladder irritation symptoms and obstructive symptoms caused by the obstruction of the urinary tract due to prostate enlargement. Currently, there are many treatment methods for BPH, and the specific approach varies depending on the condition. If a patient with BPH exhibits clinical symptoms of lower urinary tract obstruction (such as difficulty urinating, bladder stones, hernia, etc.), surgical treatment must be performed as soon as possible.
