Prostate hyperplasia is a serious condition.

The severity of prostatic hyperplasia cannot be judged solely according to the size. Treatment or not should comprehensively consider symptoms, urinary flow rate, complications and other factors. Usually, obvious symptoms, decreased urinary flow rate, complications such as bladder stones or ineffective drug treatment may require treatment. The severity of BPH cannot be judged solely on the basis of size. It requires a comprehensive consideration of symptoms, urinary flow rate, complications, etc. Generally speaking, the following conditions may require treatment: Symptoms are obvious: BPH may cause frequent urination, urgency, incontinence, difficulty urinating, etc., which seriously affects quality of life. Urinary flow rate is reduced: Urinary flow rate is an important indicator of urinary function. If the urinary flow rate is significantly reduced, it indicates impaired urinary function. Complications: BPH may be complicated by bladder stones, hematuria, urinary tract infection, kidney function damage and other complications, which may pose a serious threat to health. Drug treatment is ineffective: If the symptoms are not severe, but the drug treatment is not effective, or there are side effects that cannot be tolerated by the drug, other treatment methods should also be considered. It is important to note that for the treatment of prostate hyperplasia, individualized treatment should be developed according to individual conditions. Treatment methods include observation and waiting, drug treatment, surgical treatment, etc., and the specific choice of method requires a comprehensive consideration of factors such as the patient's age, health status, and severity of symptoms. In addition, benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common elderly male disease, and the incidence increases with age. Therefore, for older men, regular prostate health check-ups are very important for early detection and early treatment. At the same time, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as moderate exercise, balanced diet, smoking cessation and alcohol restriction, can also help prevent the occurrence and development of BPH. In short, the severity of BPH requires a combination of factors, not just size. If prostate hyperplasia is suspected or related symptoms occur, seek medical attention promptly and receive professional diagnosis and treatment.
