Patient's question:
What are the good treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia? Is it directly related to erectile dysfunction during sex? I hope the experts can provide a detailed explanation. Thank you.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 again in the urethra, 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 is relieved, the urethral resistance is enhanced, 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 kidney hydronephrosis, damaging kidney function, and ultimately resulting in chronic urinary toxicity.
