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. Could this be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? If so, could you please tell me: What is the best method for treating BPH?Doctor's answer:
1, Frequent urination, especially an increase in nighttime urination, where patients may urinate 2~5 times or more per night, with increased urine volume;2, Difficulty urinating, hesitation to urinate, thin urine flow, intermittent urination, etc.;
3, Hematuria (blood in urine);
4, Hypersexuality.
If the condition worsens, it may lead to acute urinary retention where the patient is completely unable to urinate. It is recommended to seek medical attention early for related examinations, such as prostate and endocrine tests. Additionally, avoid alcohol and irritating foods to prevent colds or flu, and reduce sexual activity to prevent the condition from worsening. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive symptomatic treatment promptly and maintain a regular sex life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
