Patient's question:
These days, I don't know what's wrong, but I always feel a strong urge to urinate. However, when I go to the toilet, it feels like there isn't much urine. Sometimes it's just a drop or two. During morning urination, I even noticed that my urine was split. Please ask: How should benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) be treated?Doctor's answer:
In the early stage of benign prostatic hyperplasia, its etiology is often influenced by factors such as frequent sexual activity, chronic prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia, smoking and alcohol consumption, medications, endocrine imbalances, endocrine disorders, and increased male hormone levels, among others. The early clinical manifestations are commonly seen as follows:1. Frequent urination, especially increased nocturia, where patients may urinate 2 to 5 times or more per night, with increased urine volume;
2. Difficulty urinating, hesitancy, thin urine stream, and intermittent urination;
3. Hematuria (blood in urine);
4. Hypersexuality (increased libido).
If the condition progresses unchecked, it may lead to acute urinary retention, where the patient is completely unable to urinate.
