Do I have to take medication permanently for prostate enlargement?

Do I have to take medication permanently for prostate enlargement? 

I have been suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia for the past five years. When I mentioned that I wake up once or twice in the middle of the night because of urination, they suggested an ultrasound. After the ultrasound, I was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Since then, I have been getting an ultrasound once a year to monitor the trend.

They are taking images to determine if it has transformed into prostate cancer.

Initially, after about six months of treatment, I thought I was okay and stopped taking the medication, but about two months later, the symptoms of needing to urinate at dawn reappeared. The doctor said that when the weather gets colder, the likelihood of prostate recurrence increases, and I might have to take the medication permanently.

My questions here are whether benign prostatic hyperplasia is a disease that is difficult to cure, whether there are any separate methods to strengthen the prostate, and what percentage of cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia progress to cancer. I would appreciate advice from those with experience.

    전립선 비대증 때문에 힘드시겠네요
    모든 남성들이 나이들면 전립선비대증이 생긴다고
    하네요 시간이 지날수록 약 효과는 떨어진다고 하네요
    적절한 시기에 알맞는 치료를 선택 하는게 좋다네요
    약 용량을 늘려도 효과가 크게 달라지지 않을때
    적절한 시기에 치료 방법을 전환하는 것이 장기적으로
    더 현명할 수 있다네요
    약물치료. 시술적 방법.수술적 방법이 있다네요
    병원에 가셔서 상담을 잘 해보셔요~

    비대증 약 분만 아니라 거의 모든 처방약 들은 소모품이라 한번 먹으면 지속, 계속 복용해얀다고 보시면 됩니다. 다만 자기관리 잘하고 운동을 하면 쾌완 할 수도 있습니다.

    전립선 비대증 5년이면 오래 앓고 계시네요. 재발이 자주있는 병이다보니 장기적으로 약을 복용해야 겠네요. 아마 먹어도 효과가 떨어지면 복용량을 늘릴수도 있다고 미리 생각하셔야 겠네요.
