Hello, the clinical manifestations of benign prostatic hyperplasia are mainly manifested as urinary abnormalities. Symptoms can be divided into two categories: obstructive symptoms and irritative symptoms. Obstructive symptoms include hesitancy, intermittent urination, terminal dripping, thin and weak urine stream, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. Irritative symptoms include frequent urination, nocturia, urinary urgency, and dysuria. Symptoms may worsen due to cold, alcohol consumption, and the use of anticholinergic drugs, psychotropic drugs, and other factors. Long-term obstruction can lead to uremic symptoms such as fatigue, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting. Once diagnosed, patients should follow medical advice for drug treatment, avoid stopping or reducing medication on their own, and undergo regular follow-up examinations. Treatment plans should be adjusted in a timely manner based on the condition. Additionally, in terms of diet and daily life, it is important to avoid irritative foods and abstain from alcohol.
