Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling like I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating, and it seems like there's a lack of strength when urinating. The stream is very thin, and I even feel like I can't urinate properly. Is this condition related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? If so, could you please tell me: How can benign prostatic hyperplasia be restored?Doctor's answer:
1. Elderly men with symptoms such as increased nocturnal urination, straining during urination, and post-micturition dripping should first be considered for the possibility of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).2. Drink less beer... Bladder overdistension can lead to acute urinary retention.
4. Benign prostatic hyperplasia can cause urinary tract obstruction, secondary infections, and in severe cases, hydronephrosis, leading to severe renal impairment. Therefore, active treatment should be initiated, including surgical intervention.
5. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is often confused with prostate cancer. Elderly individuals with symptoms of BPH should seek medical attention promptly for examination and treatment to avoid missing the optimal opportunity. BPH can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow and prone to recurrence. Therefore, medications should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
