Patient's question:
The male organ is swollen to a severe extent, to the point where he doesn't dare touch it when using the restroom. What are the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic hyperplasia is caused by chronic prostatitis. Long-term chronic prostatitis affects the prostate, leading to functional tension in the prostate and subsequently prostatic hyperplasia. Patients with prostatic hyperplasia may experience urinary difficulties due to urethral compression, presenting symptoms such as dribbling urine and a feeling of incomplete urination. It may also compress the rectum, causing constipation. If the condition is severe, surgical treatment may be necessary.
