Patient's question:
A friend's uncle said that his urination is not clean, and he has symptoms of frequent urination and urgent urination. Sometimes he can't make it to the toilet in time and can't hold it anymore. Sometimes he feels a stinging sensation when urinating. What are the clinical manifestations of benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
1. Frequent urination and urgency.2. Difficulty urinating.
3. Urinary incontinence.
4. Hematuria: Primarily caused by bladder inflammation and the fragmentation of stones. It is often microscopic hematuria, but if the blood vessels on the surface of the glandular tissue rupture, it can lead to gross hematuria. Large amounts of bleeding may occur, and the formation of blood clots in the urethra can cause acute urinary retention.
5. Acute urinary retention: This occurs in 60% of cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia. It may be triggered by failure to urinate promptly after exposure to cold, intense physical activity, alcohol consumption, or eating irritating foods, leading to congestion and edema of the enlarged glandular tissue and the bladder neck, resulting in urinary retention.
