Patient's question:
I have never had any genital problems before. It might be because I am getting older and I don't like to be active anymore. I dislike staying at home drinking beer and I don't want to walk. Over time, this has led to a habit of holding urine. Now, when I urinate, I have a burning sensation in my urethra. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia, and I would like to take metronidazole to treat it. What kind of help do you need: What are the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia in the elderly?Doctor's answer:
Older men with benign prostatic hyperplasia may experience recurrent difficulties in defecation, dribbling urine, and in severe cases, urinary retention. If they also have symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination, it may indicate a urinary tract infection. Detailed examination and advice are necessary: It is recommended to undergo further thorough examinations in departments such as urology or related specialties in a regular hospital to clarify the condition of the body, so that appropriate measures can be taken. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
