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 related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? If so, please advise: What should be noted during the initial treatment for BPH?Doctor's answer:
Excuse me for asking, do you currently have any discomfort symptoms? Based on your description, the size of the prostate should be within the normal range. If you have any discomfort symptoms, prostatitis cannot be ruled out. If you currently have discomfort symptoms, it is recommended that you promptly seek follow-up care at the urology department of a hospital. It is advised to conduct a routine examination of prostatic fluid. If inflammation is suspected, specialized anti-inflammatory treatment is recommended, along with adequate rest. Adjust unhealthy habits; the condition of benign prostatic hyperplasia tends to fluctuate, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to promptly seek diagnosis at a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, attention should be paid to restricting sexual activity and maintaining a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
