Hello...I Am Experiencing A Very Recent Urinary Problem. I Have
BPH
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask A Doctor",
I have gone through your query and can certainly understand your concern,
From the details you have provided, you seem to have symptoms pertaining to Benign prostatic hyperplasia. This is a condition that can arise in men after the age of 40yrs. The growth of prostate can reach a state where it can press the urethra, and can cause thickening of the bladder, thereby causing the above symptoms.
There are other few conditions that can present with the same symptoms which needs to be ruled out: Prostatitis, UTI, prostate cancer.
I would suggest you to consult with an urologist for proper physical examination along with some blood tests- PSA and urinalysis. If your physical examination and tests prove to be BPH, your doctor can prescribe you with Alpha blockers (Tamsulosin), which will surely help to control your urinary symptoms. Long term cure can be attained only by undergoing surgical measures. You can discuss this with your doctor.
Meanwhile, you can follow some lifestyle changes:
- Reduce drinking water or any beverages before going to sleep.
- Avoid caffeinated beverages and alcohol.
- Exercising pelvic floor muscles
I hope this helps,
Please feel free to discuss further,
Regards
You are welcome
