The most prominent symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are dysuria, frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, urination, fine urination and other urinary tract symptoms. The decline in quality of life caused by these symptoms is also the main reason for patients to seek treatment.
What is the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia?
1、 Watch and wait
Observe whether the treatment measures are non-drug and non-surgical, including patient education, lifestyle guidance and follow-up. BPH is a process of progressive benign hyperplasia of prostate histology, and its development process is difficult to predict. After a long time of follow-up, only a few patients with BPH may have complications such as urine accumulation, renal insufficiency, bladder stones, etc. Therefore, for most BPH patients, observation and waiting can be an appropriate treatment, especially when the quality of life of patients has not been significantly affected by lower urinary tract symptoms.
2、 Drug treatment
The short-term goal of BPH drug treatment is to relieve the patients' lower urinary tract symptoms, and the long-term goal is to delay the clinical progress of the disease and prevent the occurrence of complications. In conclusion, the overall goal of BPH drug treatment is to reduce the side effects of drug treatment while maintaining the high quality of life of patients.
3、 Surgical treatment
BPH is a progressive disease. For patients with severe symptoms, it may eventually require surgical treatment. Surgical treatment is suitable for patients with severe BPH or patients with lower urinary tract symptoms that significantly affect the quality of life, especially for patients with poor drug treatment or who refuse drug treatment, surgical treatment can be considered.
