Patient's question:
I have a friend who often experiences frequent urination, urinary urgency, increased nighttime urination frequency, and difficulty urinating. Before they had a chance to go to the hospital for a check-up, how did the condition of benign prostatic hyperplasia and urinary splitting come about?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis-induced urinary splitting is caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. Clinically, it manifests as frequent urination, urgency, increased nighttime urination, and difficulty urinating, and can lead to complications such as urinary tract infections, bladder stones, and hematuria. Medications for benign prostatic hyperplasia cannot completely cure it and are prone to recurrence. Trying traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture may yield good results. The condition of benign prostatic hyperplasia is quite serious, and patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, dietary issues should be paid attention to, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
