Patient's question:
My dad has been acting a bit strange lately. He's been urinating frequently, needing to go to the bathroom many times a day, and he says he's experiencing some mild incontinence. This happens even during the day. After urinating, he feels discomfort in his abdomen. I suspect he might have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).What kind of help would you like: What are the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Doctor's answer:
Frequent urination, urinary urgency, increased nighttime urination frequency, and difficulty urinating are all obvious symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Let's take a look at the specific symptoms.Whether day or night, the frequency of urination increases significantly compared to usual. The bladder cannot empty completely, making it easy to develop a bacterial infection, which can lead to symptoms of dysuria and urinary urgency again. After BPH, crystals in the urine can easily aggregate to form bladder stones, causing sudden interruptions during urination.
