Recently, the Department of Urology at Taikang Xianlin Gulou Hospital, Affiliated to Nanjing University Medical School, successfully performed a urethral memory metal prostate stent implantation for 97-year-old Mr. Sun, a resident of Taikang Zhijia Huiyuan with severe benign prostatic hyperplasia complicated by urinary retention. Right after the surgery, Mr. Sun regained spontaneous urination and no longer needed an indwelling urinary catheter.

Frequent nighttime urination, weak urine flow, and a feeling of incomplete emptying are common issues among middle-aged and older men, often linked to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This age-related condition affects quality of life but is manageable with lifestyle adjustments, medication, or minimally invasive surgery. If you experience persistent urinary discomfort, avoid self-diagnosis. Seek professional urological examination for timely and appropriate care.
