Patient's question:
Confirmed benign prostatic hyperplasia, during which there haven't been any significant symptoms. Recently, I've felt 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: How can benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated quickly and effectively?Doctor's answer:
Generally, men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostatic hypertrophy may experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, dysuria (painful urination), a feeling of incomplete emptying, urinary dribbling, urine splitting, hesitation to urinate, and increased nocturia. It is recommended to pay attention to rest, prevent abdominal cold exposure, and drink more water. Oral medications such as Pulegan tablets and tamsulosin hydrochloride capsules can be taken. If the effect is not satisfactory, surgical removal of the prostate may be considered. BPH is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek professional and reputable medical treatment promptly, and treatment decisions should be based on examination results. Proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should also be observed. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
