Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been experiencing frequent nighttime urination recently, always feeling a strong urge to urinate and a sense of incomplete emptying. Occasionally, I also have some pain during urination. The hospital said it's due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). So, what should I do if I have BPH with fibrosis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic hyperplasia with fibrosis, fibrosis is the scar left behind after the prostate undergoes recurrent inflammation and scarring. It is a precursor to prostatic calculi. Prostatic calculi are often accompanied by chronic prostatitis, and these inflammations can usually be seen through careful ultrasound examination. Due to the unique structure of the prostate, recurrent fibrosis and calculi generally have no effective treatment. Bacteria tend to grow on calcified (fibrotic) areas and calculi, making them a recurring cause of prostatitis that should not be ignored.There are several treatment methods for prostatic hyperplasia, but the diagnostic approach varies depending on the patient's symptoms. Therefore, it is essential for patients to receive a prompt diagnosis to ensure appropriate treatment.
