Patient's question:
What symptoms may reappear in the early stages of prostate problems, and how can you know if it's benign prostatic hyperplasia? I'm 41 this year, and recently I've been feeling difficulty urinating, sometimes feeling weak when urinating. What are the early symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
The most common early symptom of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is frequent urination, which is more pronounced at night. Difficulty urinating is the most important symptom of BPH. As the condition progresses, it primarily manifests as slow urination, thin and weak urine flow, and other symptoms. For patients with BPH, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
