Patient's question:
Hello doctor! I've been experiencing frequent urination and difficulty urinating recently. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said I have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Could you please tell me what causes BPH and why I have weak urine flow? How should this condition be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia has many interfering factors and specific causes. As age decreases, the incidence and symptoms become more pronounced, which can lead to various symptoms such as frequent urination, increased nocturia, difficulty urinating, and weak urine flow. If it is mild, it can be treated conservatively with medication. However, if it is severe, leading to conditions such as residual urine or hydronephrosis, timely surgery is necessary.
