Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling uncomfortable, so I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said I have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Could you please tell me what are the symptoms commonly associated with BPH?Doctor's answer:
What are the symptoms of male benign prostatic hyperplasia:1. Causing difficulty in urination: Difficulty in urination is a weak feature of benign prostatic hyperplasia, and the symptoms can be divided into obstruction and strangulation. The main symptoms include slow urination, weak urine flow, weak urine stream, incomplete urination, and strangulation symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, nocturia, difficulty urinating, and short urination with incomplete emptying. Anticholinergic drugs and psychotropic drugs can be used to alleviate symptoms. Long-term obstruction can lead to fatigue, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting, as well as uremic symptoms.
2. Blood in the urine: The capillaries of the prostatic mucosa become congested, and small blood vessels dilate. Bladder filling, filling the bladder, and bladder contraction. When bladder tumors rupture, hematuria may also occur. Additionally, rupture of glandular vessels due to fibrosis can cause gross hematuria.
