"If BPH is not treated in time, it will lead to urinary tract infection, urinary retention, bladder stones, hematuria, renal failure (uremia) and other complications." Experts remind that BPH is a common chronic disease for middle-aged and elderly men, and its incidence of patients is wider than cancer, diabetes, hypertension and other chronic diseases. According to a recent study, the incidence of benign prostatic hyperplasia in middle-aged and elderly men over the age of 50 is up to 50%. By the age of 80, the incidence of benign prostatic hyperplasia in elderly men has reached about 80%.
Prostatic hyperplasia usually occurs after the age of 40
From birth to pre puberty, the development and growth of the prostate gland are slow; After puberty, the growth rate accelerates and reaches its peak at about 24 years of age. After the age of 40, due to endocrine disorders, some people develop hyperplasia and gradually increase the volume of the glands. If the prostate and urethra are significantly oppressed, symptoms such as bladder outlet obstruction and difficulty urinating can occur.
Refusing to drink and eat spicy food, avoiding prolonged sitting or catching cold can be prevented
"Once symptoms such as frequent urination, increased nocturnal urination, and poor urination are detected, they should be promptly referred to the urology department of a regular hospital with urology expertise." Experts remind middle-aged and elderly men: "In daily life, pay attention to adjusting your diet and lifestyle. Do not catch a cold, limit the amount of water you can drink to about 1500-2000 milliliters per day, and reduce alcohol consumption, coffee, and spicy and antispasmodic drugs. When urinating and defecating, try to force a clean discharge. Usually, you can do pelvic exercises such as running, climbing mountains, and exercising your muscles and bones, but it is not advisable to sit for a long time, such as playing mahjong or riding a bicycle."
