Patient's question:
When I went to the toilet yesterday, it felt a bit rough, like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder, and I also felt that my hemorrhoids might be getting worse. Is this because my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has flared up again, causing compression?Could you please tell me: What are the common symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in the early stage are caused by the stimulation of the prostate gland, which controls the posterior urethra and bladder neck, leading to symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. However, if patients seek treatment at this stage, the results are excellent. Many people experience persistent symptoms like frequent urination and difficulty urinating, which may be indicative of BPH. BPH poses significant harm and affects patients' daily lives. It is strongly recommended that patients seek timely treatment. For BPH patients, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition, whereas delayed treatment can impact overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular sex life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
