Patient's question:
I have been married to my husband for 2 years. Now my job is stable, we have bought a house, and we are about to have a baby. However, during a recent health check-up, I found out that my husband has benign prostatic hyperplasia. I don't understand this, and my husband didn't tell me either. This is from a report I secretly peeked at.Doctor's answer:
Hello!1. Bladder irritation symptoms: Frequent urination, urinary urgency, increased nocturia, and urge incontinence. Frequent urination is an early sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia, especially when the number of nocturia episodes continues to increase, which holds more clinical significance.
2. Urinary tract obstruction symptoms: Mainly caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia blocking the urinary tract.
1. Weak urine stream, thinning of the urine stream, and dribbling: Due to the obstruction caused by fibrotic prostate, patients need to exert greater force to overcome the resistance, making urination difficult.
2. Hematuria: The presence of blood in the urine is referred to as hematuria, also known as bloody urine.
