Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia? What symptoms do patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia have, and what kind of treatment is needed? How are patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia treated?Doctor's answer:
The most common symptoms are frequent urination, which gradually improves, especially an increasing number of nocturia. The symptoms also include slow initiation of urination, difficulty urinating, weak urine stream, thin urine flow, intermittent urination, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. In the advanced stage, long-term urinary tract obstruction leads to the deterioration of kidney function, manifesting as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and anemia. When diagnosed with the condition, it is important to promptly seek examination and treatment at a regular hospital. In daily life, attention should also be paid to prevention to avoid colds, absolute avoidance of alcohol, reduced consumption of spicy foods, and never holding in urine. Overexertion and prolonged sitting should be avoided, while adequate fluid intake is recommended.
