Patient's question:
A while ago, I started experiencing frequent urination and urgency, but each time I urinated only a small amount. My wife mentioned that it might be some kind of prostate disease. I suspect it could be benign prostatic hyperplasia. What are the symptoms and how is it treated?Doctor's answer:
Personal regulation for prostate patients:1. Drink plenty of water. Drinking more water leads to more frequent urination, and concentrated urine can cause many stimulations to the prostate. Long-term adverse stimulations are harmful to the prostate. Drinking more water not only helps dissolve blood but also effectively reduces the concentration of urine.
2. Avoid holding urine. Once the bladder is full and you feel the urge to urinate, you should urinate immediately. Holding urine is harmful to both the bladder and the prostate. Before taking a long-distance bus, empty your bladder first before boarding. If you feel the urge to urinate during the journey, politely ask the driver for permission to use the restroom and urinate immediately. Absolutely do not force yourself to hold it.
