Patient's question:
Prostate enlargement diagnosed last September, during which time I haven't had any significant symptoms. Recently, I've felt abdominal fullness, and urination has been intermittent. I've been waking up frequently at night and also experiencing urinary frequency and urgency during the day. Does this mean my condition has worsened? Please ask: What adverse physical symptoms can prostate enlargement cause?Doctor's answer:
Frequent urination, nocturia, urinary urgency, incontinence, difficulty urinating, incomplete urination, and hematuria are relatively obvious symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In addition, BPH may also lead to complications such as bladder stones, kidney damage, hemorrhoids, and rectal prolapse. It is recommended to seek active treatment. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent the recurrence of the condition.
