Patient's question:
Two weeks ago, I went for a full-body check-up. The detailed examination results showed that I had benign prostatic hyperplasia. In the past two days, I've been feeling some discomfort spreading in my abdomen, and my appetite has also become very poor. Sometimes it can lead to symptoms like dizziness. When I went for a follow-up examination, the doctor said I had a bit of hydronephrosis. What should I do about hydronephrosis caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is very common in clinical diagnosis, with main symptoms including frequent urination, urinary urgency, difficulty urinating, and increased nocturia. Fibrotic prostate tissue can obstruct the urethra, potentially leading to kidney hydronephrosis if not treated promptly. This condition primarily involves treating prostatitis. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital's urology department for follow-up treatment. Pay attention to preventing colds and avoiding exposure to cold temperatures in daily life. Prostate hyperplasia tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek professional and regular medical diagnosis in a hospital.
