Prostate syndrome refers to a series of symptoms and pathological changes caused by obstruction of the lower urinary tract caused by various diseases of the prostate. Whether it is prostate hyperplasia, prostate tumor, prostate calculus, or even prostatitis, as long as it can compress the urethra and cause obstruction at the bladder outlet, it can cause prostate syndrome. Its pathological changes include:
The bladder expanded, the wall became thinner, the contraction force was significantly weakened, and many "trabeculae" were formed in the inner wall of the bladder; The bladder wall protrudes outward to form diverticulum due to the increase of bladder internal pressure; Formation of stones in the bladder; Increased bladder pressure causes urine to flow back to the ureter and hydronephrosis in the ureter and kidney; The urinary system is repeatedly infected due to "blocked sewer", and the renal function is damaged until renal failure - uremia occurs.
At the same time, patients with prostate syndrome can show symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency of urination, weakness of urination, exertion, interruption of urination, hematuria, low back pain, and edema, nausea, vomiting, etc.
The occurrence and development of prostate syndrome are relatively concealed and slow, and it is not as obvious as bladder stones, diverticulum or hydronephrosis that may exist at the same time. It is easy to find and receive corresponding treatment. The patients themselves, sometimes even the doctors, may ignore that it is the prostate disease that is worshipped. As a result, it is too late to find the prostate disease until it is very difficult to urinate, or even to think that the culprit is the enlarged prostate until uremia occurs.
Therefore, when various diseases such as inflammation and calculus occur in the urinary system, attention should be paid to whether they are related to the prostate, especially for the middle-aged and elderly men over 40 years old, regular prostate examination should be carried out to detect prostate diseases in time and give early treatment to avoid adverse consequences.
