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. Could this be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? If so, please ask: How can benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is generally age-related, a type of degenerative inflammation, with progression being relatively slow. It can lead to symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and nocturia again if the hyperplasia of the median lobe causes obstruction of the urethra. Currently, there are no specific drugs for prostate hyperplasia. Pollen preparations can be taken orally, but do not be easily swayed by advertisements. When necessary, regular visits to the urology department for prostate massage can be beneficial for prostate metabolism. Sitz baths with chrysanthemum water are also a good choice. The condition of prostate hyperplasia tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek professional and reputable medical attention immediately. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and avoiding sexual activity are important. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
