Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination, nocturia, a lack of energy, and a stinging sensation during urination. I'm not sure what the cause is. Is my prostate enlargement severe?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, BPH has many causes. Sudden bladder emptying can lead to hematuria and urinary tract infections. Symptoms such as urgency, frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and dysuria can recur. When secondary upper urinary tract infections occur, symptoms like fever, back pain, and systemic toxicity may appear. Long-term lower urinary tract obstruction may be caused by bladder distension due to lower abdominal masses or hydronephrosis. Chronic straining to urinate increases abdominal pressure, which may lead to hernia, hemorrhoids, and rectal prolapse. It is recommended not to eat and spicy foods, not to drink beer, and to consume fresh vegetables, fruits, coarse grains, and rough dietary fiber. Pay attention to dietary discipline to prevent abdominal issues and reduce your own resistance.
