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 it even feels like I can't urinate properly. Could this be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? If so, please ask: What are the nursing costs for BPH?Doctor's answer:
Lifestyle Care Instructions: Maintain a positive attitude, urinate promptly, keep bowel movements regular, avoid prolonged sitting, pay attention to preventing colds, and maintain a regular sleep schedule. It is also important to maintain regular sexual activity with your partner, but avoid overindulgence. Individuals with a history of urinary retention should be cautious and it is best to avoid sexual activity. Additionally, exercise and activity should be increased to promote blood circulation in the area.Prostate hyperplasia is a common chronic disease among elderly men. If not treated promptly and scientifically, it can interfere with the normal function of the urinary system in the elderly, leading to kidney function decline, hematuria, recurrent urinary tract infections, bladder stones, and other serious complications. It may even result in irreversible chronic kidney disease and uremia, posing a threat to life.
