Patient's question:
Hello, I have been experiencing lower abdominal discomfort and frequent urination recently. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). How should I treat BPH?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, a comprehensive analysis is conducted; considering your condition, it is likely that frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, hesitancy, dribbling, urinary retention, and a sense of pain from bladder fullness are caused by an infection leading to benign prostatic hyperplasia and urinary system issues (stones). The treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia involves Finasteride, which relaxes the smooth muscles of the prostate and alleviates symptoms. However, it is necessary to follow the guidance of a doctor to implement standardized (anti-inflammatory) treatment and undergo regular follow-up tests. Due to the inability to conduct a face-to-face examination and fully understand the condition, further clarification is needed for diagnosis. You should visit a private tertiary hospital for urology and gynecology examinations. The doctor will base the clinical diagnosis on your symptoms and physical signs, supplemented by diagnostic tests such as blood, urine, and stool tests, ultrasound, cystoscopy, and prostatic fluid culture with drug sensitivity tests. After identifying the cause, targeted treatment should be administered.
