Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia? Frequent urination, increasing night-time urination, reduced urine volume per urination, gradually recurring urinary difficulties, thinning urine stream, weak urine flow, urinary interruption, and incomplete urination. Do these symptoms indicate benign prostatic hyperplasia? What kind of help do you need: What are the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia? What are the symptoms, and how is it treated?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH):1. Nocturnal incontinence. During nighttime sleep, urine flows uncontrollably on its own. In severe cases, this phenomenon may also recur during the day.
2. Increasing frequency of urination. Regardless of day or night, the number of urination episodes increases significantly compared to the usual normal frequency of 3 to 4 times during the day and 1 to 2 times at night, with shorter intervals between urination and a constant urge to urinate.
3. Difficulty urinating. When a strong urge to urinate is felt, one has to wait for a long time in the restroom before the urine finally "slowly" comes out. The urine stream becomes thin, weak, and short in range, sometimes even dripping line-like from the urethral opening.
