Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing intermittent pain in the prostate and urethra for about 20 days. Today, the continuous pain has returned. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
If there is pain during urination at this age, it is likely caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. At this age, the prostate gland has been subjected to long-term exposure to male hormones, leading to its shrinkage. As a result, the prostate volume increases, and during urination, the flow must pass through the prostate. The treatment cycle is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay close attention to personal hygiene.
