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. Is this condition likely to be benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? If so, could you please ask: What are the effective methods to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are primarily manifested in two groups: bladder irritation symptoms and obstructive symptoms caused by fibrotic prostate blocking the urinary tract.Bladder irritation symptoms: Frequent urination, urinary urgency, increased nocturia, and urge incontinence. Frequent urination is an early sign of BPH, and the continuous increase in nocturia is particularly clinically significant.
The disease has three main characteristics: reduced prostate volume, bladder outlet obstruction, and lower urinary tract symptoms such as difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and urinary urgency.
If symptoms are detected, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for thorough examination and treatment to avoid delaying the condition and affecting health.
