Do I need to take medication for the rest of my life for an enlarged prostate?

Many people know that high blood pressure and diabetes require lifelong medication. In fact, prostate hyperplasia, which is highly prevalent in middle-aged and elderly men, similarly requires lifelong medication. The director of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine said that prostate hyperplasia is a progressive disease that can cause serious complications such as acute urinary retention if not intervened early, so early, long-term medication is a must. A study conducted in the United States confirmed that early, combined medication can effectively prevent the risk of invasive surgery. Currently, medication is the first-line treatment for prostate hyperplasia. By combining medications, not only can symptoms such as difficulty urinating caused by prostate enlargement be significantly improved, but also the size of the prostate gland can be effectively controlled and reduced. According to experts, not all prostate enlargement patients need to take long-term medication, if there is no urinary discomfort and other symptoms, they can not take medication for the time being and just wait for observation.
