Patient's question:
These past few days, when I urinate, I often feel weak urine flow, and it's very difficult to urinate. Sometimes, I can't urinate in the middle. I used to not have this problem, but it has been happening frequently recently. My penis and scrotum feel a bit damp, and I'm worried it might be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia.Doctor's answer:
Prostate enlargement can lead to urinary tract obstruction, secondary infections, and in severe cases, it may cause hydronephrosis of the renal pelvis, resulting in severe damage to kidney function. Therefore, active treatment should be initiated, including surgical intervention. Prostate enlargement is not the same as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostatic hyperplasia, especially for young and middle-aged men with prostate diseases. The majority of these cases are caused by inflammatory congestion and edema of the prostate, rather than BPH or hyperplasia.It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for follow-up and follow the doctor's advice for treatment. For patients with severe prostate enlargement, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly and receive timely treatment based on the doctor's recommendations. Avoid using medication blindly, as this may worsen the condition.
