Prostatic hyperplasia, also known as prostatic hypertrophy, is the most common disease of the elderly. The prostate is divided into two layers, the inner layer is the mucosa around the urethra and the submucosal gland, and the outer layer is the prostaglandin gland. Prostatic hyperplasia mainly occurs in the inner layer. The common symptoms of the disease include frequent urination, urgent urination, hematuria, dysuria, etc. Failure to treat in time will cause kidney damage and uremia. Therefore, when the symptoms of BPH are found daily, we must go to the regular hospital for treatment as soon as possible to avoid the deterioration of the condition.
What are the symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia
1. Frequent urination and urgency of urination: in the early stage of the disease, the number of urination increased, especially at night, which caused the attention of patients. The bladder neck is congested with edema and residual urine, and the bladder volume is reduced. When inflammation is present or accompanied by stones, urination is urgent and painful.
2. Acute urine retention: the symptoms of BPH are based on dysuria, which can cause acute urine retention at any time, making the patient complete urination, swelling and not jealous, forcing the patient to come to the hospital for emergency treatment. The inducements of acute urine accumulation are mainly climate change, coolness, fatigue, alcohol consumption, etc. Therefore, prostate hypertrophy has no seasonal factors, but urine accumulation makes patients have to give first aid, often cool in autumn and winter.
3. Hematuria: macroscopic hematuria is not common. A few cases of BPH have varicose veins in the bladder due to obstruction of bladder neck, obstruction of venous return, formation of bladder hemorrhoids, rupture of blood vessels, and massive bleeding. For those with stone formation or tumor occurrence, gross hematuria is also inevitable.
4. Difficult urination: characterized by slow urination, weak urination, dripping urination line, wet pants and shoes, patients with BPH can not urinate upright, take a squat position, and then urinate in sections, that is, when they urinate with their breath closed, they barely urinate, take a little rest, and the flow of urination is interrupted.
5. Renal insufficiency: in the late stage, due to long-term urinary tract obstruction, renal dysfunction, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, anemia, etc.
6. Urinary incontinence: urine overflows and enuresis occurs when sleeping at night. This is because of the weakness of urinary muscle contraction, the increase of residual urine volume in the bladder, the increase of bladder internal pressure, and the decrease of effective capacity. Only a few tens of milliliters of urine from the kidney to the bladder can reach the maximum capacity of the bladder. If there is frequent urination, filling incontinence, and inflammation of the bladder neck and triangle area, there will be a sense of urgency and incontinence.
Prostatic hyperplasia is related to four reasons
1、 Prolonged inactivity can also cause prostatic hyperplasia, arteriosclerosis, and poor local blood circulation in the prostate can also cause this disease.
2、 Frequent sexual life and excessive masturbation are also one of the causes of BPH. Men who have these behaviors tend to cause sexual organ congestion, which makes prostate tissue increase due to long-term stasis.
3、 The etiology of BPH also includes long-term heavy drinking and alcohol abuse. If you eat spicy food in the diet, it will also stimulate BPH.
4、 There are many causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia. If the patient does not completely cure chronic prostatitis, cystitis, urethritis, caruncle, etc., the prostate tissue will be hyperemia and hyperplasia.
7 Tips for Preventing Prostatic Hyperplasia
1. To prevent the cold from late autumn to early spring, the weather is changeable, and the cold often worsens the disease. Patients must pay attention to cold prevention, prevent colds and upper respiratory tract infections.
2. Absolutely do not drink alcohol. Drinking alcohol can make the prostate and bladder neck congest and puffy and induce urine accumulation.
3. Eat less spicy and stimulating food, sexual organ congestion, hemorrhoids and constipation symptoms worsen, oppress the prostate, and urinate difficultly.
4. Can't stop urine, the bladder is overfilled, the bladder force urine muscle tension is weakened, urination is difficult, and it is easy to induce acute urine retention, and must urinate.
5. Don't overwork will damage the breath, and lack of breath will lead to weak urination, which is easy to cause urine stagnation.
6. Sitting for a long time will aggravate hemorrhoids and other diseases, and the perineum is prone to hyperemia, and urination is difficult. Frequent participation in sports activities and Qigong exercises can help alleviate symptoms.
7. Too little drinking water in the right amount will not only cause dehydration, and urination will also have an adverse effect on the cleaning of the urinary tract. Concentrated urine is easy to form insoluble stones. Drinking water should be properly reduced at night. The bladder is overfilled after sleeping, and more water should be drunk during the day.
