Patient's question:
My father has benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and he needs to go to the toilet many times a day. Why does BPH cause frequent urination?Doctor's answer:
Increased frequency of nocturnal urination is a signal. Prostate hyperplasia, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common disease among middle-aged and elderly men. Increased nocturnal urination is an early sign. If a person who previously did not wake up at night starts to urinate 1 to 2 times during the night, it indicates the onset of early obstruction. When the frequency of nighttime urination increases from 2 to 4 to 5 times, or even more, it means the disease has worsened.
