Patient's question:
I often feel that I have a problem of frequent urination with a small amount of urine, and going out by car is the most troublesome. I went to the urology department of the hospital and was told that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. However, it's strange because I don't feel any pain in my prostate, but I do feel pain in my lower abdomen. I want to ask, does benign prostatic hyperplasia cause lower abdominal pain?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Prostate hyperplasia does not cause lower abdominal pain unless you have significant urinary difficulties, leading to recurrent urinary retention, which may then cause lower abdominal discomfort. It could also be due to prostatitis. It is recommended that you undergo a thorough examination of your urinalysis and prostatic fluid to determine if there is a bacterial infection causing inflammation. Once diagnosed, you can be prescribed cefuroxime or levofloxacin for treatment. Prostate hyperplasia is a serious condition, and it is advised that patients seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition.
