What are the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

What are the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia? What medication should be taken for frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, and hematuria? How should prostatitis be treated to be effective?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, benign prostatic hyperplasia is relatively common in middle-aged and elderly male patients. When the symptoms are mild, frequent nocturia and increased nighttime urination may occur. At this time, taking tamsulosin can help alleviate the symptoms, but there are no particularly effective methods, as the enlarged gland cannot shrink. If the prostate continues to enlarge and causes urinary tract obstruction or urinary retention, surgical treatment can be adopted.
