Patient's question:
Feeling very uncomfortable in the private area, that feeling can't be described, it affects work and life very much, it's very troublesome. Is it necessary to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
In the early stage of benign prostatic hyperplasia, its etiology is often influenced by factors such as frequent sexual activity, chronic prostatitis, prostate hyperplasia, smoking and alcohol consumption, medications, endocrine imbalances, and increased male hormone levels. The early clinical manifestations are commonly seen as follows:1. Frequent urination, especially increased 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 (blood in urine).
4. Hypersexuality.
If the condition worsens, it may lead to acute urinary retention where the patient is completely unable to urinate. It is recommended to seek early medical examination for the prostate and endocrine, among other relevant tests. Additionally, avoid alcohol and irritating foods to prevent colds and reduce sexual activity to alleviate the condition.
