Patient's question:
I often experience frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination. This condition has persisted for over a month. I bought medicine from a pharmacy and it worked, but it has reappeared again. Additionally, I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. What medication is good for frequent urination and urgency? Can benign prostatic hyperplasia be self-treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostate volume enlargement is actually benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Currently, it can cause typical symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, incomplete urination, and hesitancy in urination, which determine the need for medication. The primary goal of medication is to improve blood flow to the local area, alleviate symptoms, and stabilize blood flow. For example, surgical treatment is commonly diagnosed in clinical practice, where excessive prostate tissue is directly removed. The second approach involves the use of drugs that reduce male hormones, as BPH and fibrosis are largely related to male hormones.
