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 it even feels like I can't urinate properly. Is this condition prostatitis? If so, please ask: How many treatment options are there for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostate Hyperplasia Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease among elderly men, with onset typically occurring after the age of 50. As age increases, the incidence rate gradually decreases, making it a frequent condition in urology. Treating prostate hyperplasia is a long-term process. Once diagnosed, patients must follow their doctor's instructions for medication, absolutely not stopping or reducing medication on their own, and must undergo regular follow-up examinations to adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner based on the condition. Additionally, in terms of diet and daily life, foods should be avoided, alcohol consumption should be strictly prohibited; attention should be paid to preventing colds; strenuous exercise should be avoided, as well as prolonged sitting and long-distance bicycle riding; urination should be done promptly, and absolutely not holding back urine.
