The prostate is the largest accessory gonad in men, and this gland is unique to men. The prostate fluid it secretes is an important component of sperm, but it can easily cause trouble for male friends. About half of male friends are disturbed by prostatitis. Older friends are at greater risk of prostate hypertrophy. Let's take a look at the symptoms of prostate hypertrophy and how to treat and prevent it.
Symptoms and symptoms of prostatic hypertrophy
1. Frequent urination is often the initial symptom in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. The early stage is caused by stimulation of prostate congestion, most notably at night. "When obstruction worsens and residual urine in the bladder increases, the frequency of urination gradually increases, usually 3-5 times at night, with a maximum of 7-10 times.".
2. Dyspnea Progressive dysuria is the most important symptom of benign prostatic hyperplasia. It often develops slowly and is sometimes considered a natural phenomenon in the elderly without attention. When there is a slight obstruction, urination is hesitant, intermittent, and dripping after urination. "After aggravation of the obstruction, urination is laborious, the range is shortened, the urinary line is thin and weak, and the terminal appearance is dripping, and the duration of urination is prolonged.".
3. The obstruction of urinary pond is weighted to a certain extent. The patient can not drain all urine. When there is too much residual urine in the bladder, the bladder loses its contractility. Urinary pond gradually occurs, which can lead to urinary incontinence, such as diapers, bed wetting at night, etc., or sudden inability to drain urine. It is often caused by sudden congestion and edema of the prostate due to alcohol consumption, climate change, and fatigue.
4. Other symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia combined with infection can also include frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, and other cystitis phenomena. The symptoms are more pronounced when there are stones, which can be combined with hematuria, hydronephrosis can occur in the late stage, and chronic uremia can occur.
Uncover the treatment method for prostate hypertrophy for you
Experts say that hypertrophy of the prostate is a chronic prostatitis characterized by enlargement of the gland sac, hypertrophy of the glandular epithelium, and formation of papillary nodules. Nowadays, drugs are commonly used in the clinical treatment of prostate hypertrophy, but for chronic inflammation, drug treatment only cures the symptoms rather than the root cause, and even if cured, it is difficult to avoid recurrence. There are currently some surgical treatments for this disease:
1. Suprapubic transvesical prostatectomy. The operation is relatively simple and effective, with few postoperative urinary incontinence. However, this operation requires an incision of the bladder. If the prostate capsule and the gland develop tight adhesion, occasionally the capsule will tear, making it difficult to stop bleeding. Suitable for patients with bladder lesions.
2. Postpubic prostatectomy. This method does not damage the bladder. After fully exposing the prostatic fossa, the prostate is removed under direct vision, without the need for suprapubic cystostomy, and the postoperative recovery is fast. However, the operation is more complex, with more bleeding, and improper treatment may cause infection, urinary leakage, etc. Suitable for patients without bladder lesions.
3. Transperineal prostatectomy. The advantage is that the surgical scope is small, the damage is small, the impact on the whole body is small, and the postoperative recovery is fast. However, the operation is difficult, difficult to stop bleeding, easy to damage the rectum and form rectal fistula, and easy to cause postoperative sexual dysfunction. This method is suitable for patients with low prostate position and no pathological changes in the bladder.
