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 a sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia? If so, please ask: What should be noted when treating benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease among elderly men. Based on specific symptoms, there are two treatment options: conservative treatment and surgical treatment. If the condition meets the criteria for surgical treatment, it is generally better to undergo surgery. Post-fibrosis bladder retention can lead to a series of problems. Since your description is not very detailed, and also because your full condition is not visible online, it is recommended to follow the advice of your local doctor. If surgery is performed now, the psychological trauma is much smaller than before, and you can consider transurethral resection.
