Patient's question:
Does benign prostatic hyperplasia require treatment?Doctor's answer:
1, Frequent urination, especially an increase in nocturia, where patients may urinate 2 to 5 times or more per night, with increased urine volume;2, Difficulty urinating, hesitancy, thin urine stream, and intermittent urination;
3, Hematuria;
4, Hypersexuality. If the condition progresses unchecked, it may lead to acute urinary retention where the patient is completely unable to urinate. It is recommended to seek medical attention early for related examinations of the prostate, endocrine system, etc. Additionally, avoid alcohol and irritating foods to prevent colds and reduce sexual activity to prevent the condition from worsening.
