Patient's question:
The amount of residual urine keeps increasing. When there is a large amount of residual urine, there is often urinary incontinence due to fullness, and there is often dripping urine, which makes my pants wet frequently, causing great distress. I feel very anxious.Doctor's answer:
Males, due to benign prostatic hyperplasia, experience severe control over the urethra, which prevents the timely emptying of urine from the bladder. This can lead to bacterial infections, resulting in symptoms such as urinary pain and urgency. In the early stages of benign prostatic hyperplasia, symptoms are not typical due to compensation. As lower urinary tract obstruction is relieved, symptoms gradually become more pronounced. Clinical diagnostic symptoms include storage phase symptoms, voiding phase symptoms, and post-voiding symptoms. Treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. In daily life, it is important to maintain regular sexual activity and avoid prolonged sitting.
