The prostate is a "lifeline" for men, because if it is not good, it will affect fertility. There are many prostate diseases, such as prostatitis, prostate cancer, and prostate enlargement. Among them, prostate enlargement is more common, especially in middle-aged and elderly men. Enlarged prostate is also called prostatic hyperplasia. The enlarged prostate must be treated as soon as possible. How to treat the enlarged prostate?
The treatment of prostatic hypertrophy is generally divided into three steps: alert waiting, drug treatment and surgical treatment. For mild cases (the IPSS international score is used professionally, and those below 7 are mild), alert waiting is generally used. The so-called vigilant waiting is that after the prostate cancer has been checked and ruled out by a professional doctor, the patient should not be treated when the symptoms are mild, and attention should be paid to the maintenance in life, but it is necessary to know that there is this disease and treat it in time when the symptoms are aggravated.
Drug treatment is mainly for patients with moderate prostate hypertrophy. The drugs mentioned above are of course correct. From a professional perspective, drugs are divided into three categories: 1. 5a reductase inhibitors, and the representative drug is Baoliezhi. It can prevent the conversion of inactive testosterone into active dihydrotestosterone, thus achieving the effect of treating the prostate. 2. A receptor blockers, many of which are not listed. 3. Plant drugs, such as Prostate Kang; Cheniton et al. The mechanism of action is not very clear, but it can also be used as a major class of drugs to treat prostatic hypertrophy in clinic. In general, the first class of drugs is preferred for treatment. In order to increase the efficacy, sometimes it is often necessary to use drugs in combination. The combination of the first and second class drugs is the most common choice.
Patients with severe symptoms or complications and drug treatment failure may need to receive surgical treatment. Traditional open surgery is gradually being replaced by minimally invasive intracavitary surgery, such as prostatectomy; For vaporization and plasma cutting, some patients can not accept surgery because of their physical condition. They can also use some non-traumatic and painless treatment methods. A better treatment method is prostate electrochemical knife treatment. Through this treatment, many elderly patients who can not be operated have removed the catheter. Resumed automatic urination.
