Patient's question:
Feeling very uncomfortable in the private area, that feeling can't be described, it affects work and life very much, it's very troublesome. I ask, what kind of detailed examinations are generally done for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Physical examination: Carefully check how dull the patient's response is, whether there is anemia, and whether there is edema. Hypertension (suggesting or excluding early uremia). Whether there is a mass in the abdomen and its location (compensatory or decompensatory phase of urinary tract obstruction). Whether there is urethral discharge, and how swollen the epididymis is (speculating whether there is a split infection).Digital rectal examination: Carefully check the tension of the anal sphincter (to differentiate neurogenic bladder) and the condition of the prostate, noting the size of the prostate, how the central groove disappears, whether there are nodules, the hardness of the prostate, and whether there is tenderness, etc.
Laboratory tests: Urinalysis to pay attention to the presence of split urinary tract infection.
