What are the obvious characteristics of benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

I have a curved urethra and my penis is also tilted 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. What are the obvious characteristics of benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

Prostate hyperplasia has many different symptoms, with common ones including difficulty urinating, thinning of the urine stream, weak urination, terminal urine dripping, and hematuria. If bladder stones and urinary tract infections are ruled out, bladder irritation symptoms may reappear. If pyelonephritis is ruled out, symptoms such as chills, high fever, and back pain may occur. Due to difficulty urinating, the inability to empty the bladder completely may lead to residual urine, causing the need to urinate more frequently and earlier than normal. It is recommended that patients seek additional thorough examinations at a formal urology hospital as soon as possible. After identifying the cause, targeted treatment should be administered to achieve the best therapeutic effect. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Prostate hyperplasia is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely treatment and follow their doctors' recommendations for symptomatic treatment.
