Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling like I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating, and it seems like I lack strength when urinating. The stream is very thin, and I even feel like I can't urinate properly. Is this condition prostatitis? If so, please ask: Where is the best place to treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Do you have any symptoms? Prostate enlargement should actually be called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is more common in elderly men. It can cause gradually worsening urinary difficulties, urinary hesitation, frequent urination, and urinary urgency. Some patients may experience acute urinary retention. The treatment for this condition includes medication and surgery. Medication treatment involves oral traditional Chinese medicine. If the medication treatment is not effective, surgery may be necessary. The current surgical methods are mostly transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), which is a minimally invasive procedure with a rapid postoperative recovery.
