Patient's question:
My grandfather has been experiencing a feeling of incomplete urination in the past few months, and he also faces symptoms such as slow urination, difficulty urinating, weak urine stream, dribbling urine, intermittent urination, and incomplete urination when using the restroom. After being diagnosed by a doctor, it was found to be benign prostatic hyperplasia. What are the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Frequent urination, urinary urgency, increased nocturia, and urge incontinence. The continuous increase in the number of nocturnal urinations is particularly clinically significant. It often indicates the impending onset of early intestinal obstruction. The progression from twice nightly to four to five times nightly, or even more, demonstrates the expansion and remission of inflammation, and appropriate treatment methods should be determined promptly. Prostatic hyperplasia can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
