Patient's question:
Prostate hyperplasia diagnosed last September, during which time I haven't had any significant symptoms. Recently, I've been feeling abdominal fullness, and urination has been intermittent. I always wake up at night, and during the day, I also experience frequent urination and urgency. Does this mean my condition is serious? Please ask: What are the tests for prostate hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Clinical diagnosis primarily involves reviewing medical history, disease symptoms, and careful laboratory tests to confirm benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The diagnostic tests for BPH include abdominal examination, digital rectal examination (DRE), X-rays, measurement of post-voiding residual urine, and urodynamic studies. The doctor will determine the nature of the patient's condition based on the clinical presentation and decide on an appropriate testing plan according to the actual situation. For patients with BPH, timely treatment can reduce complications, whereas delayed treatment may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive symptomatic treatment promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
