Patient's question:
I've been experiencing frequent urination and urgency lately, and sometimes I can't even go. At first, I thought this was due to getting older, but today I noticed that I'm experiencing blood in my urine again, which made me very worried. My friend said it might be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of BPH?Doctor's answer:
Prostate enlargement often leads to recurrent urinary frequency, urgency, without pain or slight blood leakage, or sometimes mild abdominal pain, depending on individual reactions. However, based on your description, it is more likely to be a symptom of prostatitis. A thorough examination is necessary to determine the cause, followed by symptomatic treatment. This condition is generally related to factors such as poor personal hygiene and lack of physical activity.
