Patient's question:
I don't know what the reason is, but recently I've been experiencing frequent urination and urgency again. Sometimes when I urinate, it feels like I can't empty my bladder completely, and the stream is intermittent. Moreover, sometimes my glans also has a stinging sensation. What are the specific symptoms of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
In the early stages of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), patients may experience symptoms such as increased libido, difficulty urinating, and a narrowed urine stream. BPH can keep the prostate in a congested state, and when straining to urinate, it may lead to the rupture of superficial blood vessels, causing hematuria (blood in the urine) to recur. Frequent urination is a primary symptom of early BPH, with patients experiencing an increasing number of nighttime urination episodes. BPH is a type of male prostate disease, with middle-aged and elderly men being its main affected population. Males can develop BPH.
