Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling like I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating, and it seems like I lack strength when urinating. The stream is very thin, and I even feel like I can't urinate properly. Could this be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? If so, please ask: How should I be treated for BPH?Doctor's answer:
Hello Prostate Hyperplasia Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease among elderly men, with onset usually occurring after the age of 50. As age increases, the incidence rate gradually declines, making it a common condition in urology. Treating prostate hyperplasia is a long-term process. Once diagnosed, patients must follow medical advice for medication, absolutely avoiding self-discontinuation or reduction of dosage. Regular follow-up examinations should be conducted to adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner based on the condition. Additionally, in terms of diet and daily life, it is recommended to avoid stimulating foods, abstain from alcohol, take care to prevent cold exposure, and avoid strenuous exercise.
