Patient's question:
My father has some benign prostatic hyperplasia. Three times of hematuria occurred two years ago, one year ago, and two months ago respectively. Recently, hematuria has appeared again. He had CT, ultrasound, and urine tests in the hospital, but no problems were found. No kidney stones were detected, and later a cystoscopy was performed for a detailed examination. No problems were found in the bladder, but some blood clots were cleared from the bladder. The cystoscopy showed that the prostate slightly protrudes into the bladder, suggesting severe benign prostatic hyperplasia. It is recommended to undergo a partial transurethral resection of the prostate with laser enucleation. Can benign prostatic hyperplasia cause hematuria? And will the surgery be effective against hematuria??Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia include:1. Urinary difficulties, which are the most prominent manifestations, including frequent urination, urgent urination, difficulty urinating, incontinence, acute urinary retention, and hematuria.
2. Complications arising from urinary difficulties, such as hernia, hemorrhoids, rectal prolapse, varicose veins in the lower limbs, and emphysema.
3. Late-stage symptoms: Due to severe kidney dysfunction and weakness, complications such as azotemia, acidosis, hypertension, poor appetite, anemia, and weight loss may occur, as well as symptoms like heart failure and cerebrovascular diseases.
It is recommended to exercise regularly, drink plenty of water, strictly avoid drinking beer, and undergo a thorough medical examination at the hospital.
