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. Is this because my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is flaring up again, causing pressure?Could you please advise where would be a good place to treat this to resolve it?
Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as fibrosis. The symptoms are primarily manifested in two groups: bladder irritation symptoms; the other is obstructive symptoms caused by fibrotic prostate blocking the urinary tract. Bladder irritation symptoms: frequent urination, urgency, increased nocturia, and urge incontinence. Frequent urination is an early sign of prostate hyperplasia, especially when the number of nocturia episodes continues to increase, 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 urgency. If you notice symptoms of prostate hyperplasia in daily life, it is recommended to promptly visit a hospital for a comprehensive and thorough examination. Only based on the examination results can a more effective and targeted treatment plan be formulated to achieve more effective and direct treatment. This is to avoid delaying the condition and affecting your health. The condition of prostate hyperplasia is prone to recurrence.
