Patient's question:
This morning after getting up and going outside to urinate, I found blood in my urine.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are relatively complex. Hormonal influences, lifestyle habits, and other adverse factors can all trigger BPH. It is more common in elderly men. Early symptoms primarily include urinary urgency, dysuria, and difficulty urinating, and in severe cases, hematuria may occur. Treatment mainly involves the use of α1 receptor blockers, 5α-reductase inhibitors, and other medications combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) methods or physical therapy to control the condition. In severe cases, surgical treatment may be necessary. Pay attention to daily care, quit smoking and drinking alcohol, and avoid consuming irritating foods.
