Patient's question:
I'm 32 years old. Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination, and there's also a stinging sensation during urination. It hasn't improved, so I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it's related to benign prostatic hyperplasia. I want to ask what this is about?Doctor's answer:
Hello, benign prostatic hyperplasia is generally an increase in the volume of the prostate. Generally speaking, with age, the prostate volume will increase appropriately. The main focus is to observe how patients have clinical diagnostic symptoms. If the patient does not have clinical diagnostic symptoms, treatment is generally not necessary. It is recommended to wait and see. Have a prostate ultrasound re-examination every six months. If there are symptoms, then treatment needs to be implemented. Benign prostatic hyperplasia can severely interfere with the patient's quality of life, and there are also other potential risks. In addition to symptoms such as frequent urination, increased urination frequency, urinary pain, urinary incontinence, and frequent nocturia, many patients may also experience changes in sexual desire, and a very small number of patients may have hematospermia.
