How to check for benign prostatic hyperplasia

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, could you please ask: How can I check for benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

After reading your situation description, I feel that your symptoms "prostate hyperplasia upon examination, premature ejaculation" should be caused by long-term chronic prostatitis. Based on your condition, since the prostate is enlarged, surgical isolation treatment is more suitable. If the prostate hyperplasia controls the urethra, leading to urinary retention, it is better to undergo surgical treatment in a timely manner. Prostate hyperplasia can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. I hope the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
