Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that I frequently urinate and have a strong urge to urinate, especially at night. I go to the bathroom several times throughout the night. My friend suggested that this might be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), so I wanted to ask, what are the symptoms of BPH? Are my symptoms indicating that I have BPH?Doctor's answer:
According to your current condition, if benign prostatic hyperplasia reoccurs, causing abnormal urination, it often leads to symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and increased nocturia. If this situation reoccurs, it may also be related to prostatitis. It is recommended that you consider undergoing a color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate and a routine examination of prostatic fluid for a clear diagnosis. In daily life, pay attention to reducing long-term overexertion, staying up late, smoking, and drinking alcohol. In fact, having benign prostatic hyperplasia is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
