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 stream was split. After doing some research, I realized it might be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Could you please tell me what the daily care for BPH is?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia was previously called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and commonly occurs in individuals over the age of 50. According to data from Western countries, the incidence rate in elderly males can reach over 80%; domestically, the reported rate is lower but still exceeds 50%. Due to the prostate's unique position at the bladder neck, surrounding the urethra, if fibrosis occurs, it can constrict the urethra from all sides, obstructing urine flow from the bladder and leading to a series of urinary tract infections.1. Drink plenty of water: Insufficient water intake not only causes dehydration but also hinders the flushing effect of urine on the urinary tract, making it easier for urine to become concentrated and form insoluble stones.
