When you see a urology specialist clinic, you often encounter elderly men who urinate in drips and drabs, or even cannot urinate (urinary retention), or cannot control their urine (overflow urine reagents) before they come to the clinic. It is very rare to see patients who really come to the clinic because of increased nocturia, not far to urinate (sometimes they wet their shoes when they urinate), thinning of the urine line, and difficulty in urination, because they think these are normal phenomena of old age and are not treated. I would like to tell older men that these symptoms are probably the manifestation of one of the most common diseases, this disease is often referred to as prostate hypertrophy, but as a professional urologist we can not call it that, we named it normatively as benign prostatic hyperplasia (abbreviated as BPH). The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. If an older male friend has frequent urination, urinary urgency, urinary incontinence (urine cannot be controlled and urinated out), increased nocturnal urination, hesitation in urination, difficulty in urination (urine is not far, urine line becomes thin, urination effort), intermittent urination, incomplete urination, dripping after urination, etc., then you may (why do you say may?). Because there are many reasons for these symptoms, and prostate enlargement is just one of them!) If you are already suffering from prostate enlargement, you need to see a urologist at a regular hospital and have some relevant tests done to confirm the diagnosis. The next thing you will naturally ask is how to treat the problem. In fact, the prostate enlargement is not terrible, according to the Chinese Medical Association Urology Branch organization domestic urology authoritative experts prepared the “Chinese Urology Disease Diagnosis Treatment Guide” (currently updated to the 2014 version) standard treatment effect is still very satisfactory. The current “Chinese Diagnostic and Treatment Guidelines for Urological Diseases” provides treatment options according to the severity of the patient’s symptoms: 1. watchful waiting; 2. medication: medications including alpha-blockers (such as terazosin doxazosin, tamsulosin capsules, etc.), 5α-reductase inhibitors (such as finasteride and dutasteride, etc.), M-blockers, botanical preparations, and traditional Chinese medicine, etc., 3. surgery and minimally invasive Treatment: The classical surgical treatments are transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), transurethral resection of the prostate (TUIP), and open prostatectomy. bph is a clinically progressive disease and some patients eventually require surgery or minimally invasive treatment. Currently, TURP remains the “gold standard” of treatment for BPH. However, each patient still needs to consult with a urologist to determine which treatment option to choose, first to determine if the culprit of your symptoms is prostate enlargement, and then to have the urologist decide on a treatment plan based on your condition. Our hospital has been carrying out TURP surgery for prostate enlargement since 1989 and has successfully relieved about 8000 cases of prostate enlargement caused by prostate enlargement so far. The majority of elderly men have heart, cerebrovascular or lung diseases. Frequent nocturnal urination leads to sleep deprivation, which is also not conducive to recovery from heart, cerebrovascular and lung diseases; some patients are reluctant to undergo surgery because they think it is risky now that they are older. However, with the increase of age, the health condition will decline year by year, and the risk of doing it later will be greater, right? The actual fact is that, if you have a clear diagnosis of prostate enlargement, it is best to opt for surgery as soon as possible if you have the conditions. If you are troubled as described above, you can visit the clinic to register for consultation with me, and I hope my advice will help you.
