How to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia in the elderly

summary

Mom and dad all work in other places, so I usually accompany her to see a doctor when my grandfather is sick. Some time ago, my grandfather felt uncomfortable urinating and needed to get up and go to the toilet frequently at night. He always had a bad night's rest, and I couldn't sleep well. Yesterday, I took her to the hospital for examination. The doctor said that he had BPH, which belongs to senile BPH, and also told me that I could choose surgery. I felt very scared. Does an old man like this have benign prostatic hyperplasia and need surgical treatment?
