Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling like I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating, and it seems like there's a lack of strength when urinating. The stream is very thin, and I even feel like I can't urinate properly. Is this condition prostatitis? If so, please ask: What should I do about benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
There are several reasons that can lead to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), often associated with incomplete self-healing of prostatitis, frequent sexual activity, long-term alcohol consumption, and more. BPH has a significant relationship with lifestyle habits, and it is important to seek timely treatment. It is recommended that your friend visit the urology department of a regular hospital for follow-up, take oral medication, and pay attention to controlling weight, avoiding overly frequent sexual activity, quitting smoking and drinking, maintaining a regular schedule, and not consuming excessive meat. For patients with BPH, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should undergo timely medication and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
