Patient's question:
I have recently been experiencing recurrent symptoms of frequent urination and urgency, and I'm very worried about benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). So, I would like to ask what are the symptoms of BPH?Doctor's answer:
Prostate enlargement primarily causes frequent urination, incomplete urination, and difficulty urinating. Because the prostate has enlarged, the urethra becomes relatively narrower, so urination may become thinner, even with interruptions, and it may feel difficult to urinate. Recently, if you have experienced frequent urination and urgency again, it doesn't necessarily mean it's prostate enlargement—it is more likely a urinary tract infection. It is recommended that you first go to a regular hospital for tests such as a urinalysis and color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system. If necessary, some medication treatment may be taken.
