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 stream was split. After consulting, it seems to be benign prostatic hyperplasia. Please ask: How should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms are related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The main manifestations of BPH are progressive urinary difficulties, frequent urination, urinary urgency, and incomplete urination. In very rare cases, a decrease in libido may also occur. The exact cause of BPH has not yet been determined, but it generally affects middle-aged men. The incidence of BPH increases annually after the age of 40. By the age of 51 to 60, 50% of men experience pathological BPH, and by the age of 90, 90% of men have developed BPH.Recommendation: The treatment of BPH includes careful observation, self-regulation, medication, surgical treatment, and minimally invasive therapy. If there are no urinary difficulties, treatment may not be necessary.
