Suffering from urinary issues at night due to prostate enlargement

Suffering from urinary issues at night due to prostate enlargementSince two years ago, I have been waking up two or three times at night because I need to urinate. At first, I thought it was nothing serious and woke up even if it was bothersome. However, after talking to acquaintances, they suggested that there might be a possibility of prostate enlargement and advised me to see a doctor.

Hastily making an appointment with the urology department and going for a urinalysis, I was advised to undergo an ultrasound diagnosis after hearing the explanation. I also felt a sense of foreboding, and as a result of the ultrasound, I was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia. The reason for the ultrasound was that among patients with prostate enlargement, some also have prostate cancer, so I decided to have the ultrasound. Fortunately, it was confirmed that I did not have cancer. However, I was told that I should have an ultrasound at least once a year. After taking the prescribed medication from the doctor for about six months, I felt better and did not go to the hospital. Then, after 15 days, the same symptoms appeared. Reluctantly, I sought medical treatment again, and the doctor said that the recurrence rate of benign prostatic hyperplasia is high, especially in winter when the temperature drops, and the likelihood of recurrence is high. Since then, even when symptoms lessen, I continue to receive medical care and have also obtained additional medication from the market.

    전립선 비대증을 전립선 초음파로 검사가 되나요???
    제 주변 지인은 의사가 손으로 넣어서 만져본다고 기분이 많이 안 좋다고 해서
    꺼려져서 아직까지 안가고 있거든요... 초음파로 진단이 가능하다고 하면
    한번 가볼까 생각중입니다.
