Patient's question:
What is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), why does it cause fibrosis, are there any disturbances, and how should it be treated? Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are primarily related to urination, such as frequent urination, nocturia (nighttime urination), incomplete emptying of the bladder, weak urine flow, thin urine stream, and hesitancy to urinate, among others. It is recommended to first seek treatment at a regular urology hospital. BPH can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually lengthy, and the condition tends to recur after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications that target the specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
