Patient's question:
A 63-year-old male feels like he needs to have a bowel movement frequently, with short intervals between needing to go. Sometimes, in addition to the sensation of urinary pain, he feels the urge to urinate but has to stand there for a while before he can actually urinate. Also, he notices that his sex drive has become stronger than before. What are the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
1, The frequency of urination continues to increase.2, Difficulty urinating with hesitation.
3, Nighttime urinary incontinence.
4, Pain and urgency during urination.
5, Urination interruption; in elderly patients, interruption of urination and the recurrence of bladder stones are strong "signals" of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
6, In patients with hypersexuality, early symptoms may include an increase in libido that is not consistent with age, or a previously normal libido that suddenly becomes intense. This is often due to benign prostatic hyperplasia, which disrupts prostate function and leads to a temporary enhancement of testicular function as a feedback response.
