Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as an enlarged prostate, is a condition where the prostate gland swells, potentially slowing or blocking the flow of urine.��

This condition affects men, with approximately 8% of men aged 31 to 40 experiencing it. The prevalence increases with age, affecting over 80% of men above 80 years old. It is crucial that men have regular check-up to ensure they can be treated accordingly

According to Dr. Vo Van Quy from the Urology Department at ������ϲʿ�����, many patients with BPH do not exhibit any symptoms. However, some individuals may experience symptoms such as:

• Frequent need to urinate, especially at night
• Difficulty starting urination
• Weak urine stream
• Dribbling or leaking urine
• Feeling as though the bladder is not empty even after urinating

Treatments for BPH can help alleviate urinary symptoms. Options include medication and surgery.

Dr. Quy emphasizes that after a thorough examination, it is crucial for patients to receive detailed explanations from their doctor to select the most appropriate treatment method.

������ϲʿ�����, with its team of internationally trained doctors and modern equipment, offers a full range of techniques to meet patient needs, including:

• Arterial Embolization: Suitable for younger patients who still have physiological needs.
• Bipolar Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP), which offers:

• Use of saline solution to avoid complications from passive absorption into the body
• Good hemostasis, reducing catheterization time and shortening hospital stays
• No electrical current passing through the patient's body (unlike monopolar resection), minimizing the risk of electrical burns at the electrode contact points, reducing dangers for patients with pacemakers, and decreasing the risk of urethral stricture or bladder neck contracture post-surgery.
• Ability to resect large prostates over an extended period

• Stent Placement: Typically used for older patients who are not candidates for surgery.

The doctors at ������ϲʿ�����’s Urology Department continually update their techniques. With our Western standard operating rooms and advanced equipment, we minimize postoperative complications such as urinary incontinence.
