Questions about the relationship between benign prostatic hyperplasia and nocturia

I've been taking medication for benign prostatic hyperplasia for three years. My doctor hasn't suggested surgery, and I only get an ultrasound once a year. I think he's trying to determine if cancer has metastasized.

At first, the effect of the drug was immediate, but now, even if the dosage is increased, the effect does not come right away, so I asked the doctor to increase the dosage last time, but he said that increasing the dosage is not necessarily a good thing, so I kept the dosage the same and it has been 2 years since then. Looking at the trend, if I fall asleep at 10 PM, I wake up about 3 times until 5 AM, and if I fall asleep at 11 PM, I can sleep until 5 AM without waking up.

The question here is, does an enlarged prostate cause you to wake up when you need to urinate, regardless of the nocturnal enuresis? When I was young, I had a hard time because of the nocturnal enuresis since I was in the second grade of elementary school. I am afraid that I will have this problem even when I get older, so I am hesitant to go out and ask anyone. It is embarrassing to ask anyone, and if an enlarged prostate has nothing to do with nocturnal enuresis, it would be comfortable and I could go out and do it...

    전립선 비대증으로 인한 야뇨증은 주요 증상이 맞아요. 야간에 수분 섭취량은 줄이고 카페인 술은 드시지 마세요. 항산화 성분이 많이 든 야채나 과일 섭취 권장드려요

    전립선비대증은 나이가 들면서 발생하는 일반적인 남성의 건강 문제로, 전립선이 비대해져 요도를 압박하게 되는데요
    이로 인해 배뇨에 어려움을 겪거나 야뇨증을 유발하게 된다고 합니다.
    저녁 시간대에 수분 섭취 줄이기, 카페인, 알코올 섭취 제한, 규칙적인 운동, 충분한 수면 등의 생활습관 개선이 필요하기도 합니다
    야뇨증 개선되어 수면에 지장 받지 않게 되었음 좋겠습니다

    상관관계가 있다고 보는 쪽이 많죠 왜냐하면 비대증이 방광을 눌러 잔뇨감이나 야뇨감을 자주 느끼는 거라 합니다. ㅜㅜ
