Doctor's answer:
Hello, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as benign prostatic hypertrophy, is divided into histological benign prostatic hyperplasia and clinical benign prostatic hyperplasia. The former is characterized by a significant increase in prostate volume or microscopic benign prostatic hyperplasia, but it may or may not cause symptoms clinically. The latter can be determined by the following three criteria: ① Prostatic symptoms (frequent urination, nocturia, incomplete urination, difficulty urinating, etc.); ② Enlarged prostate volume (prostate volume > 20ml); ③ Indications of bladder outlet obstruction (maximum urine flow rate < 15ml/min). Its early clinical manifestations are often: 1, Frequent urination, especially an increase in nocturia, with patients urinating 2 to 5 times or more per night, and reduced urine volume; 2, Difficulty urinating, hesitation to urinate, thin urine stream, intermittent urination, etc.; 3, Hematuria; 4, Hypersexuality. If the condition continues to progress, it may lead to acute urinary retention where urine cannot be completely expelled. Treatment should be tailored to your clinical symptoms and other relevant laboratory test results. It is recommended to complete the necessary examinations while avoiding alcohol and spicy foods, preventing colds and, reducing sexual activity, and preventing the condition from worsening. Wishing you good health!
