Patient's question:
When I went to the toilet yesterday, it felt a bit awkward, like I couldn't urinate properly, and I also felt that my hemorrhoids might be getting worse. Is this because my benign prostatic hyperplasia has recurred, causing compression? Please ask: What is the best way to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease in elderly men. Its cause is due to the gradual shrinkage of the prostate, which exerts control over the urethra and bladder outlet. Clinically, it is characterized by frequent urination, urgency, increased nighttime urination, and difficulty urinating. It can also lead to complications such as urinary tract infections, bladder stones, and hematuria, severely impacting the quality of life for elderly men. It is recommended to start with oral prostate medications: [list medications]. If symptoms cannot be controlled, surgical treatment may be considered. For patients with prostate enlargement, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
