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. After consulting, I learned that it might be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. I would like to ask: How can benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated to improve it?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a very terrible disease because the prostate may lead to urinary toxicity in later stages. In the early stage, mild intestinal obstruction occurs in the urethra again, and patients can still empty their urine on time, but the time to urinate has become longer than that of normal people. In the middle stage, the urethral intestinal obstruction worsens, the urethral resistance increases, and it is lower than the bladder's urination ability, so patients experience symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency again. The urine in the bladder cannot be completely emptied, leading to residual urine again. In the late stage, the urethral intestinal obstruction is severe, and the bladder's compensatory function is incomplete. Due to the increase in bladder pressure, it is transmitted upward to the kidneys, causing increased pressure in both kidneys, leading to bilateral hydronephrosis and damaging kidney function.
