Patient's question:
Doctor, I think I might have benign prostatic hyperplasia, but I'm not sure. My symptoms mainly include persistent difficulty urinating, such as splitting urine, hesitation during urination, dribbling urine, and difficulty emptying the bladder for the past two weeks. Is this a symptom of a disease? What are the symptoms and manifestations of benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia may cause recurring symptoms such as frequent urination, hesitancy, urine splitting, incomplete urination, and a narrowed urethra. However, to diagnose it, a prostate ultrasound examination at the hospital is necessary for confirmation. The probability of developing prostate hyperplasia again at the age of 34 is not considered high. Generally, the likelihood of recurrence is more noticeable in older adults. If a thorough examination confirms it is prostate hyperplasia and the prostate is significantly enlarged, tamsulosin hydrochloride can also be administered.
