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 determined that he has benign prostatic hyperplasia.Doctor's answer:
Frequency of urination, urinary urgency, increased nocturia, and urge incontinence. Frequent urination is an early sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia, especially when the number of nighttime urinations continues to increase, which holds significant clinical meaning. Elderly individuals who previously did not urinate at night but now experience 1-2 nighttime urinations may indicate the impending onset of early intestinal obstruction. If the frequency increases from every 2 nights to every 4-5 nights or even more, it demonstrates the expansion and relief of inflammation, and appropriate treatment methods should be promptly determined. Long-term medication is required, and attention should be paid to quitting smoking and drinking alcohol, as well as maintaining personal hygiene.
