Patient's question:
Recently, I haven't been feeling particularly well. I've noticed a sudden increase in the frequency of urination, along with urgency and frequent urination, lower back pain, and occasional bloating and pain in the lower abdomen. Are these symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? I'd like to understand from a doctor what symptoms are associated with BPH.Doctor's answer:
Generally, benign prostatic hyperplasia may cause frequent urination, urgency, lower back pain, and a sense of distending pain, which vary depending on the severity of the individual's condition. In severe cases, there may be issues like hematuria. During daily life, it is advisable to drink plenty of warm water, pay attention to your body's condition, and consume more light foods appropriately. It is also important to maintain good hygiene in the affected area.
