Patient's question:
What are the early symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Enlarged prostate, in its early stages, generally does not cause any problems. However, when it affects urination, symptoms may appear, including: incomplete urination, difficulty urinating, hesitation to urinate, and frequent nighttime urination. Additionally, sexual function may also be affected. This condition can usually be detected through careful examination. When young people experience discomfort, it is often caused by prostatitis. This condition is more commonly caused by enlargement in individuals over 40. Surgical treatment tends to be more effective for this. While an enlarged prostate can be relieved, the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment.
