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 BPH?
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, which makes it easy to develop a bacterial infection and lead to symptoms of dysuria and urinary urgency again. After BPH, crystallites in the urine can easily aggregate to form bladder stones, causing sudden interruption of urination.
