Patient's question:
25 men are often uncomfortable when they are close, and gradually become more and more uncomfortable later. Please ask: What are the hazards of benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
1. Frequent urination: It is mainly an early symptom of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. In the early stage, it is caused by congestion of the prostate stimulating the bladder, leading to severe residual urine in the bladder. As the amount of residual urine increases, the frequency of urination gradually worsens. This is due to the bladder frequently being partially filled, resulting in an enlarged effective capacity.2. Difficulty urinating: Difficulty urinating is one of the more significant symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Because its symptoms develop slowly, they are sometimes mistaken for natural phenomena in middle-aged and elderly people, leading to neglect. During follow-up visits, in addition to reviewing the medical history, it is important to directly and carefully observe the urination process to understand the degree of difficulty. In mild cases, urination is slow, with a weak stream and post-urination dribbling. In severe cases, urination is laborious, with an extended stream, thin and weak urine flow, ultimately becoming a dribbling state.
