Patient's question:
I have been frequently going to the toilet recently. It's almost half an hour to an hour each time. Even when I don't need to go, I feel like I can't empty my bladder. I want to ask the doctor if my symptoms might be due to prostatitis. If I do have this condition, what kind of medication should I take?Doctor's answer:
The prostate is an organ. Prostate diseases include many different types, with the most common ones generally occurring in middle-aged and elderly men. The most common condition is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). When BPH occurs, it can lead to symptoms such as frequent urination, increased nighttime urination, and more. After BPH is diagnosed, it is recommended to visit a local hospital for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine the severity of the hyperplasia. For mild cases, clinical diagnosis can be managed by taking oral herbal plant-based preparations.
