If the prostate enlargement is serious enough to prevent normal urination, patients are advised to go to the hospital for further examination and choose methods such as medication, surgical treatment and catheterization.
Clinically, for patients with enlarged prostate pressing on the urethra, resulting in the inability to urinate normally, if they only have symptoms such as frequent urination and weak urination, but still able to urinate, it is recommended that they try to take alpha-blockers such as tamsulosin hydrochloride, and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors such as finasteride for drug treatment.
For patients who do not respond well to medication, or whose enlarged prostate is pressing on the urethra and causing urinary retention, surgical treatment is recommended, including transurethral resection of the prostate and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate. Patients with acute urinary retention should also undergo catheterization to relieve symptoms.
Therefore, patients are advised to go to the hospital for further examination, choose the appropriate treatment under the guidance of the doctor, and pay attention to the adverse reactions and contraindications of the drugs.
