Back before 1980, the only treatment for BPH was surgery. Even today, for those patients with more serious conditions, surgery is still the best option because while medication can be effective in treating BPH, it often takes a longer time, while surgery intuitively removes prostate tissue and can quickly produce therapeutic results. Here we list some of the situations that require surgical treatment: i. Repeated acute urinary retention due to prostatic hyperplasia Acute urinary retention due to benign prostatic hyperplasia tends to occur repeatedly, and acute urinary retention is more harmful to the bladder due to its rapid onset, and in the long run, bladder function will continue to decline, which in turn will induce the next acute urinary retention, forming a vicious cycle. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time. In addition, if the patient receives long-term treatment with medication and still cannot get better results and has severe clinical symptoms, surgery may also be considered.
