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 it even feels like I can't urinate properly. Is this a sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia? If so, could you please tell me what are the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia generally can lead to symptoms such as difficulty urinating, incomplete emptying, post-micturition dripping, and increased nocturia. It is recommended to undergo detailed examinations such as MRI in the urology department of the hospital for confirmation. It is advised to avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain a light diet, and lead a regular lifestyle. Further examination in the urology department can provide clarity. Generally, prostate hyperplasia can be treated with medications such as Pulegan tablets. Prostate hyperplasia can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to develop good lifestyle habits and maintain a proper diet during treatment. We hope male patients can recover quickly.
