Patient's question:
I have a curved urinary tract and my penis is also leaning to the left. I have a history of sexual activity. I'm a bit busy with work and haven't had a thorough check-up. Could you please tell me what the early symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are?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. If symptoms cannot be controlled, surgical treatment may be considered. Prostate hyperplasia patients can, while understanding professional treatment, use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily diet and never overeat.
