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. The stream is very thin, and I even feel like I can't urinate properly. Is this condition related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? If so, could you please tell me how to treat it to improve the situation?Doctor's answer:
The main cause of benign prostatic hyperplasia is related to endocrine disorders. Factors such as alcohol consumption, constipation, arteriosclerosis, and chronic prostatitis can all force the prostate to gradually shrink. In terms of treatment, it is generally aimed at addressing the underlying cause. If the shrinkage is severe and has affected urination, surgical intervention may be necessary, but this depends on the specific situation.2. There are several reasons that can lead to erectile dysfunction, such as abnormalities found during autopsies, neurological inflammation, endocrine system inflammation, and urogenital system inflammation, among others. Based on your description, your condition may be related to prostatitis. It is recommended to undergo a thorough examination in a formal hospital, such as bacterial culture and color Doppler ultrasound.
