Patient's question:
I have been experiencing frequent urination, urgency, increased nighttime urination, incontinence, hematuria, and difficulty urinating recently. When I went to the hospital, I was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and the doctor recommended surgery. Could you help me explain some hospitals that specialize in treating BPH? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)1. Urinary hesitation
Urinary hesitation, also known as hesitancy, refers to the situation where you have the urge to urinate and assume the posture for urination, but you cannot immediately start urinating. You must wait for a while before the urine can slowly flow out.
2. Increasing frequency of urination
Frequent urination is an early symptom of BPH. In normal individuals, the typical number of urination times is: 3–4 times during the day and 1–2 times at night. If you notice an unusually continuous increase in urination frequency both day and night, especially if nighttime urination becomes more frequent, it may indicate that the prostate may be obstructing the flow, preventing the bladder from completely emptying with each urination. This effectively increases the bladder's capacity, leading to more frequent urges to urinate.
