Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling discomfort in my urinary tract and experiencing urinary pain. On a daily basis, I often feel a sense of incomplete urination, and sometimes I can't fully empty my bladder. The urine is yellow and cloudy, making using the restroom a significant part of my day, which has caused great distress to my life and work. What are the factors contributing to benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
The factors causing prostate enlargement are due to the tension of the muscles in the bladder neck, making it difficult to urinate smoothly, or because the swollen prostate controls the urethral opening, preventing urination. Once the gradually shrinking prostate controls urination, it may lead to urine not being able to flow smoothly out of the bladder. When the condition of prostate enlargement gradually worsens, the urethra will be subjected to greater pressure, causing urine in the bladder to be unable to be expelled. In some men, the blockage caused by the swollen prostate may lead to recurrent episodes of sudden urinary difficulties and stones.
