Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling like I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating, and it seems like I lack strength when urinating, with very thin urine streams, even feeling like I can't urinate properly. Is this condition likely to be benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? If so, could you please tell me: How much does the treatment for BPH generally cost?Doctor's answer:
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is also a systemic destructive disease. Due to poor excretion, it severely interferes with deep sleep and daily life. In the early stages, it can manifest as frequent urination and nocturia. As it progresses, it may show signs of prolonged urination hesitation and a divided urine stream. If it continues to develop, it can evolve into incontinence. The onset of benign prostatic hyperplasia is related to patients' unhealthy lifestyle habits. The five unhealthy habits—sitting for long periods, consuming spicy foods, constipation, exposure to cold, and excessive sexual activity—can potentially lead to prostatitis. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
