Patient's question:
It started about three months ago. Every time I urinate, white substances reappear. Gradually, I noticed that each time I urinate, it becomes very difficult. Sometimes, a slight effort causes a sense of fullness and pain. The duration of urination has significantly increased, and after finishing, I still feel as if I haven't emptied my bladder completely. This has greatly affected my life. Recently, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and told me to treat it properly. How should benign prostatic hyperplasia be treated?Doctor's answer:
Frequent urination is the earliest symptom, initially, then recurring daytime urination. Later, when the bladder detrusor muscle becomes compensatory, the remaining urine continues to increase. The increased effective bladder capacity also makes the frequency of urination more severe.2. Difficulty urinating Progressive difficulty urinating is a significant feature of the disease. The symptoms can be divided into two categories: intestinal obstruction and irritation. Symptoms of intestinal obstruction include hesitancy, intermittent urination, terminal dripping, thin and weak urine stream, and incomplete emptying. Symptoms of irritation include frequent urination, nocturia, urinary urgency, and dysuria, which can be triggered by cold.
