Patient's question:
I don't know why, but recently I've been experiencing frequent urination, urgency, and increased nighttime urination. Sometimes I also feel the urge to urinate and defecate. At first, I thought it was kidney deficiency and bought some medicine to take, but it had no effect. After researching, I realized it might be benign prostatic hyperplasia. Is it better to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
If there is a recurrence of benign prostatic hyperplasia, it is relatively easy to experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary pain, incomplete urination, and even difficulty urinating again. However, considering your age, the recurrence of benign prostatic hyperplasia is less likely. It is generally believed that the recurrence may be due to a urinary tract infection or the progression of the prostate. You can go to the hospital for a prostatitis examination and a prostate ultrasound. If prostatitis recurs, it can be treated with oral anti-inflammatory medications.
