1. Frequent urination and urgency.
Frequent urination and urgency are one of the typical symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia. Patients may experience frequent urination, which is an increase in the frequency of urination, especially at night. They may feel an urgency to urinate, which is an urgent need to urinate, but when they get to the toilet, they may have to wait a while to urinate. This condition is usually due to pressure on the urethra by prostatic hyperplasia, making it difficult to pass urine.
When symptoms of frequent urination and urgency occur, patients should seek medical attention promptly. Your doctor may perform tests, such as a urinalysis and a prostate exam, to determine the extent and location of the prostatic hyperplasia. Depending on the results of the examination, the doctor may recommend some methods, such as medications, dietary modifications, lifestyle changes, Xi habits, etc.
2. Difficulty urinating.
Prostatic hyperplasia may also cause difficulty urinating. Patients may feel the need to force when urinating, or they may need to wait a while before they can start urinating. They may feel that urination is not clean, i.e. there is still residual urine left in the bladder after the urine has been passed. This condition is usually caused by prostatic hyperplasia compressing the urethra, resulting in obstruction of urine drainage.
When symptoms of dysuria occur, patients should seek medical attention promptly. Your doctor may do tests, such as urodynamic tests and cystoscopy, to determine the cause and extent of difficulty urinating. Depending on the results of the examination, the doctor may recommend some methods, such as medications, surgery, etc.
3. Urinary incontinence.
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary outflow of urine out of the body. This condition is usually caused by prostatic hyperplasia compressing the urethra, causing urine to flow out uncontrollably. Urinary incontinence not only affects the patient's daily life and work, but can also lead to infections and other health problems.
