Patient's question:
Last March, I was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia. During that time, I didn't have any obvious symptoms. Recently, I've been feeling abdominal fullness, and my urination has been intermittent. I often wake up at night, and during the day, I also experience frequent urination and urgency. Does this mean my condition has become serious?Could you please tell me what are the nursing methods for benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Doctor's answer:
The etiology of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is very complex. If men suffer from BPH, they may experience urinary problems again, leading to urinary obstruction, and in severe cases, kidney failure. Therefore, it is essential for men to actively seek treatment after being diagnosed with the condition.1. BPH can cause the male bladder to lose effective control over urination, leading to symptoms such as urinary urgency, frequent urination, incomplete urination, and dysuria. This severely affects the normal life and activities of men.
2. If men suffer from BPH, it can obstruct urination, reduce internal bladder pressure, and lead to urinary infections in the kidneys and ureters.
