Patient's question:
Yesterday when I was using the restroom, it felt a bit rough, like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder. Also, I think my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Could this be my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) coming back, causing pressure?Could you please tell me: What are the clinical manifestations of benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as fibrosis. The symptoms are primarily manifested in two groups: one is bladder irritation symptoms; the other is obstructive symptoms caused by fibrotic prostate blocking the urinary tract. Bladder irritation symptoms: frequent urination, urinary urgency, increased nocturia, and urge incontinence. Frequent urination is an early sign of prostate hyperplasia, especially when the number of nocturia increases continuously, which holds more clinical significance. This condition has three main characteristics: reduced prostate volume; bladder outlet obstruction; and lower urinary tract symptoms such as difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and urinary urgency. If symptoms are detected, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for examination and treatment.
