Cost of surgery to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia

Surgery to treat prostate hyperplasia generally costs 15,000-50,000 yuan. The specific cost may be related to local economic level, specific condition, surgical method, anesthesia method, postoperative recovery and other factors.

The cost of traditional open surgery is usually 20,000-35,000 yuan. It is suitable for complex situations such as significantly enlarged prostate or combined with bladder stones, and requires hospitalization for 7-10 days. The cost of transurethral resection of the prostate is 15,000-30,000 yuan. It is a minimally invasive surgery with less trauma but may require a second surgery and the hospitalization time is 5-7 days. Laser surgery such as holmium laser or green laser costs more, about 30,000-50,000 yuan, has less bleeding and quick recovery, and can be hospitalized for 3-5 days. Medical insurance reimbursement ratios vary widely across regions. The out-of-pocket portion of reimbursement for tertiary hospitals in first-tier cities may be higher than that in second- and third-tier cities. Preoperative examination including ultrasound, urodynamics, etc. costs about 1,000-2,000 yuan. Anesthesia fee is about 2,000-3,000 yuan for general anesthesia and 1,000-1,500 yuan for spinal anesthesia. Postoperative antibiotics and analgesics cost about 500-1,000 yuan.

You need to avoid strenuous exercise for 1 month after surgery, keep the perineum clean and drink more than 2000 ml of water every day. The diet is mainly low-fat and high-fiber, and alcohol and spicy food are prohibited. Regularly review the urinary flow rate and residual urine volume. If you have hematuria or difficulty urinating, you need to see a doctor promptly. Long-term use of α-blockers or 5α-reductase inhibitors as directed by your doctor can delay recurrence.
