Patient's question:
In the past two months, every time I urinate, it's a dribbling stream, difficult to urinate, with a heavy feeling of fullness in the lower abdomen, accompanied by frequent and urgent urination, split urine, and a strong odor. The prostate is red, swollen, and very painful. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it's benign prostatic hyperplasia. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
The patient is now experiencing symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia again. Based on the careful examination results, it is considered that the patient is in the moderate progression stage, suitable for drug treatment. It is recommended that you seek medical treatment in a regular hospital and take oral medication to stabilize urination symptoms under the guidance of a doctor. If the prostate enlargement is discovered but does not affect daily life, you can monitor changes in your urination and have periodic follow-up examinations. When urination symptoms become severe enough to significantly affect the patient's quality of life, or when drug treatment is ineffective or complications reappear, surgical treatment can be considered.
