Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with lower abdominal discomfort can be relieved through medical treatment, surgical intervention, and other approaches. Medications such as tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained-release capsules and terazosin hydrochloride can be used; these drugs help relax smooth muscles, alleviate bladder outlet obstruction, and promote urination. Reducing urine volume in the bladder can ease or eliminate lower abdominal bloating. In cases of severe prostate enlargement, surgical treatment should also be considered. Common surgical procedures include transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
