Patient's question:
For the past few days, I've been experiencing frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination, as well as pain in the glans when passing stools. After a thorough examination at the urology department, it was diagnosed as benign prostatic hyperplasia.Doctor's answer:
Hello! If benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is not treated in a timely manner, it can lead to infection. After infection, the urethra may become obstructed. In severe cases, it can even cause the recurrence of uremia, at which point kidney function will gradually decline. In severe cases, it can also lead to infertility because the kidneys gradually weaken, which can have even more serious consequences for the body. Therefore, it is important to seek timely treatment.When patients face the dangers of BPH, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and avoid delaying medical consultation. If BPH does not respond to treatment, it is essential to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
