Struggling with benign prostatic hyperplasia? Elderly patients with multiple underlying conditions may not qualify for traditional prostate surgery. Transurethral prostatic water balloon dilation, a quick minimally invasive procedure, can relieve bladder outlet obstruction safely. An 89-year-old patient with heart and lung issues regained normal urination after a 20-minute operation. Early screening is vital for urinary health in seniors.

Suffering from ureteral stricture that causes hydronephrosis, repeated infections and kidney damage? A new minimally invasive option — ureteral balloon dilatation with metallic covered stent implantation — has helped one patient at Taikang Xianlin Drum Tower Hospital achieve relief. Boasting stronger support and better biocompatibility, this technique avoids repeated stent replacements and eases urinary discomfort for those with complex strictures.

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.
