Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia? What symptoms do patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia have, and what kind of treatment is needed? How is benign prostatic hyperplasia treated?Doctor's answer:
Common symptoms include frequent urination, which gradually worsens, especially an increasing number of nighttime urinations. Other symptoms include slow initiation of urination, difficulty urinating, weak urine stream, thin urine flow, intermittent urination, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. In advanced stages, long-term urinary tract obstruction leads to the deterioration of kidney function, manifesting as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and anemia. When diagnosed with the condition, it is important to seek timely medical examination and treatment at a formal hospital. In daily life, attention should also be paid to prevention, such as avoiding colds, completely avoiding alcohol, reducing spicy food intake, not holding in urine, avoiding overexertion, preventing prolonged sitting, and drinking an adequate amount of water.
