Comprehensive Prostate Care for Enlarged Prostate, Urinary Symptoms & Prostate Cancer
Xiamen Humanity Hospital offers a comprehensive approach for men experiencing prostate-related, urinary, and urological health concerns. Provided through the hospital’s Department of Urology in Xiamen, China, Prostate Disease Treatment focuses on conditions such as benign prostate enlargement, prostatitis, urinary difficulties, and prostate cancer. The department combines specialist prostate evaluation with broader urological expertise, allowing patients with overlapping urinary, bladder, or genitourinary conditions to receive coordinated care. The goal of Prostate Disease Treatment is to identify the underlying cause of symptoms, support urinary and prostate health, address both benign and malignant prostate conditions, and provide an individualized treatment plan based on each patient’s diagnosis, medical history, disease characteristics, and personal health needs.
🩺 What Is Prostate Disease Treatment?
Prostate disease treatment includes medical, minimally invasive, surgical, and cancer care for conditions such as BPH, prostatitis, and prostate cancer. BPH may cause weak urine flow, urgency, frequent urination, difficulty starting, incomplete emptying, or night-time urination.
Treatment depends on symptom severity and may include monitoring, medication, laser therapy, or surgery. Prostatitis can cause pelvic pain, painful urination, and urinary problems. Treatment depends on the cause and may include medication and follow-up with a urologist.
Prostate cancer treatment depends on the cancer’s stage, tumor features, PSA level, imaging, and overall health. Xiamen Humanity Hospital’s Urology Department provides minimally invasive surgery, multidisciplinary cancer care, and radical prostatectomy. Accurate diagnosis is essential for choosing the right treatment.
🩺 Types of Prostate Disease Treatment
- Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) – HoLEP is a minimally invasive treatment for selected patients with benign prostate enlargement and urinary obstruction. A holmium laser removes obstructing tissue through the urinary tract. It is available as a urology specialty treatment. Suitability depends on prostate size, symptoms, health, and bladder function.
- Minimally Invasive Prostate Cancer Surgery – For selected patients with localized prostate cancer, radical prostatectomy removes the prostate and surrounding tissues. Minimally invasive approaches, including use of the da Vinci Surgical System 4.0 for selected complex operations, may be considered. The surgical approach depends on the individual case.
- Multidisciplinary Prostate Cancer Treatment – Multidisciplinary care for genitourinary cancers may involve specialties such as urology, oncology, radiology, pathology, and nuclear medicine. Treatment may include surgery, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy, depending on the cancer and patient’s health.
- Lu-177 PSMA Therapy for Selected Advanced Prostate Cancer – Lutetium-177 PSMA radioligand therapy may be offered for selected patients with PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Eligibility requires specialist assessment and appropriate testing. It is not used for benign prostate disease or every case of prostate cancer.
🩺 Who Is a Good Candidate?
Men experiencing persistent urinary or prostate-related symptoms should consider urological evaluation because similar symptoms can arise from several different conditions. Treatment suitability is based on the diagnosis rather than symptoms alone.
Patients with suspected or confirmed prostate cancer also require individualized staging and treatment planning.
✔️ Patients waking repeatedly at night to urinate
✔️ Individuals with weak or interrupted urinary flow
✔️ Men who have difficulty starting urination
✔️ Patients experiencing incomplete bladder emptying
✔️ Men diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia or enlarged prostate
✔️ Patients whose BPH symptoms remain troublesome despite conservative treatment
✔️ Individuals experiencing recurrent urinary retention related to prostate enlargement
📝 Consultation & Preparation
Consultation for prostate disease treatment at Xiamen Humanity Hospital begins with understanding the patient’s symptoms, previous investigations, medical history, and current treatment. Patients traveling to Xiamen for prostate treatment should provide available medical records before treatment planning whenever possible.

🩺 Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery varies by condition and treatment. After minimally invasive surgery, temporary urinary discomfort, urgency, frequency, or blood in the urine may occur, and some patients need a catheter briefly. Recovery after prostate cancer surgery may also involve monitoring continence, pelvic healing, pathology results, and sexual function.
✔️ Follow all prescribed medication instructions carefully
✔️ Maintain appropriate hydration according to the medical team’s guidance
✔️ Follow catheter-care instructions if a catheter is temporarily required
