Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation. The line breaks (`\n`) are kept as they were in the original:\n
I've been experiencing frequent urination and a strong urge to urinate lately when I'm using the restroom. I've had prostatitis before. Could you please tell me what the early symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are?\n
Doctor's answer:
Early clinical manifestations are commonly seen in:1. Frequent urination, especially an increase in nocturia, where patients may urinate 2 to 5 times or more per night, with increased urine volume;
2. Difficulty urinating, hesitancy, thin urine stream, and intermittent urination;
3. Hematuria;
4. Hypersexuality.
As the condition progresses, it may lead to acute urinary retention, where the bladder cannot completely empty. It is recommended to seek medical attention early for related examinations, such as prostate and endocrine tests. Additionally, avoid alcohol and irritating foods to prevent colds and (flu), reduce sexual activity to alleviate the condition.
