Women can also suffer from inflammatory or obstructive diseases of prostate tissue, as well as diseases such as infection, hyperplasia, blockage, and urethral stricture. Clinically, the so-called female prostate disease refers to bladder neck obstruction caused by hyperplasia of prostate tissue and prostate like tissue in the female bladder neck, which is similar to male prostate hyperplasia. Therefore, also known as female prostate obstruction, it is more common in middle-aged and above, especially in elderly women.
Patients with female prostate diseases can experience bladder neck obstruction, resulting in typical symptoms such as difficulty urinating, slow thinning of urine flow, urinary droplets, and even acute and chronic urinary stagnation, similar to male prostate hyperplasia. Obstruction of the bladder neck can also be accompanied by urinary tract infections, resulting in symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, and hematuria. It can also be accompanied by infections of pathogenic microorganisms such as vaginitis, vaginal trichomonas, or fungi.
Mild female prostate disease, due to symptoms similar to urinary tract infections, is easily diagnosed as urinary tract infections and ignores prostate lesions, only receiving antibacterial treatment. However, the treatment measures for mild female prostate diseases also focus on local spasticity relief and anti-inflammatory treatment. In addition to the symptoms of urinary tract irritation, patients with severe female prostate disease will also show significant dysuria and urinary retention (poor urination). At this time, the patient should go to the hospital as soon as possible. The urologist can make a diagnosis through cystoscope, cystography and other measures. For patients with serious symptoms, especially acute and chronic urinary stagnation, surgery should be performed to eliminate the obstruction.
