Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been feeling weak in my sexual performance. Also, when I go to the bathroom, I've noticed that my urine is cloudy, and there's a bit of pain at the urethral opening. The check-up suggested it might be prostatitis. I'm really worried because I haven't had children yet. Could you please advise: Where is the best place to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia? 10Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease in elderly men. Its cause is due to the gradual shrinkage of the prostate, which exerts control over the urethra and bladder outlet. Clinically, it is characterized by frequent urination, urgency, increased nighttime urination, and difficulty urinating. It can also lead to complications such as urinary tract infections, bladder stones, and hematuria, severely affecting the quality of life of elderly men. Therefore, active treatment is necessary, and some patients may even require surgical treatment. The prostate is a unique sexual gland organ in men. The prostate is shaped like a chestnut, with its base facing upward and attached to the bladder, its tip pointing downward and reaching the pelvic diaphragm, and its front attached to the pubic symphysis.
