Patient's question:
I often experience the problem of frequent urination, especially at night. Not only do I go back and forth, but I also always feel like I can't empty my bladder completely, with a sensation of being unable to urinate properly or not urinating enough. Frequently, my body also suffers from various aches and discomforts, tormenting Mr. Liu to an unbearable extent, and he is gradually becoming more and more frail.Doctor's answer:
