Patient's question:
My grandfather has been experiencing a feeling of incomplete urination in the past few months, and he also faces symptoms such as slow urination, difficulty urinating, weak urine stream, dribbling urine, intermittent urination, and incomplete urination when using the restroom. After being diagnosed by a doctor, it was found to be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia.Doctor's answer:
Frequent urination, urinary urgency, increased nocturia, and urge incontinence. Frequent urination is an early sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia, especially when nocturia continues to increase, which holds significant clinical meaning. Elderly individuals who previously did not urinate at night again experience 1 to 2 nighttime urinations, often indicating the impending onset of early intestinal obstruction. If the frequency increases from every other night to 4 to 5 times per night or even more, it demonstrates the expansion and relief of inflammation, and appropriate treatment methods should be promptly determined.
