Patient's question:
Recently, the number of nighttime urinations has increased, and I feel a bit of pain when urinating. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was benign prostatic hyperplasia. I'm very worried and hope the doctor can help me. What are the main symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Frequency of urination, if a man experiences an increase in nighttime urination and the number gradually continues to rise with the progression of urinary tract obstruction, it may be benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a benign inflammatory condition of the prostate, and its cause is related to the endocrine imbalance of androgens and estrogens in the human body. For patients with BPH, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek appropriate treatment promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
