Patient's question:
Prostate hyperplasia should not hold urine. But now I have urine and cannot urinate immediately. It takes at least one and a half hours, sometimes two and a half hours, to urinate. Does this condition affect the kidneys? If it interferes, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Urine retention is a major symptom of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Long-term urine retention can interfere with kidney function. It is recommended that you have a color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system checked at a hospital to see how large the prostate is. If there is no improvement, surgery can be considered for treatment. For patients with BPH, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely treatment according to their symptoms and pay more attention to self-care in daily life.
