Patient's question:
Recently, I have been experiencing frequent urination, urinary urgency, incontinence, and increased nighttime urination. After a check-up, it was diagnosed as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Which hospital is good for treating BPH? Which hospital is better for treating BPH?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease among elderly men. Its cause is due to the gradual shrinkage of the prostate, which exerts control over the urethra and bladder outlet. Clinically, it is characterized by frequent urination, urinary urgency, increased nighttime urination, and difficulty urinating. It can also lead to complications such as urinary tract infections, bladder stones, and hematuria, severely impacting the quality of life for elderly men. Therefore, active treatment is necessary, and some patients may even require surgical intervention. The prostate is a male-specific sexual gland organ. The prostate is shaped like a chestnut, with its base facing upward and attached to the bladder, its tip pointing downward and reaching the pelvic diaphragm, its front attached to the pubic symphysis, and its back closely adjacent to the rectum. Therefore, the back of the prostate can be palpated through a rectal examination.
