It is generally believed that women are more prone to genital inflammation and problems due to physiological structures and periods. Compared to men, it seems that men are less prone to diseases, but this is not the case. However, it is good to be alert to certain reproductive system diseases through daily "urination", abnormal urination or erectile dysfunction (abbreviated as "ED"), and even detect certain systemic diseases. Timely attention and treatment can prevent small lesions from becoming major diseases.
"Urine" is abnormal. Be careful. There's something wrong with the prostate
Prostatic hyperplasia
Symptoms: Frequent and urgent urination, often unable to hold back urine; Waiting for urination or poor urination, unable to dribble out after urination; The frequency of nocturnal urination increased, exceeding 3-4 times a night; Previously, the urine line was thick and had a long range, but now it has become significantly thinner.
"Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease among elderly men." Some elderly men with prostate hyperplasia are very painful, and they simply cannot bear to urinate, dare not take a car, dare not go on the street, dare not travel, or fear that they cannot find a toilet when they need to urinate. If any of the above symptoms occur, you can seek medical advice from a urological department. To make a diagnosis, you usually need to do a B-ultrasound, which costs 40 to 60 yuan, plus a digital anal examination for more than ten yuan.
"The treatment plan for BPH should be determined based on symptoms and examinations. If the symptoms are mild and do not affect normal life, treatment may not be necessary. A review should be conducted once every six months. When the symptoms worsen and have a certain impact on life, medication is required.".
Experts say that taking medication for BPH is just like a chronic disease and requires long-term adherence. If the condition is serious, medication control is not good, or the patient does not want to take medication, surgical treatment can be selected.
Currently, minimally invasive surgery and laser surgery are commonly used, but the latter is relatively expensive and more suitable for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and weak physique.
Experts say that thinner urinary lines and frequent urination are early signs of prostate hyperplasia, especially when the frequency of nocturnal urination increases. Generally speaking, the number of nocturnal urinations is often proportional to the degree of prostate hyperplasia.
Old people who previously did not wake up at night urinated once or twice at night, often reflecting the onset of early obstruction, and developed from twice a night to 4-5 or more times a night, indicating an aggravation of the lesion.
prostatic cancer
Symptoms: Those with the above symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, combined with hematuria, bladder stones, or a large prostate with induration, should be alert for the possibility of malignant transformation of the hyperplasia.
At this point, just taking blood to check for prostate specific antigen can early detect and diagnose prostate cancer. The cost of the inspection is 180 yuan. When the inspection result shows a value below 4mg, it indicates normal.
However, for patients with large prostate volumes and induration, it is important to review prostate specific antigen every six months to one year. Regular examination can help early detection of prostate cancer, and early detection and treatment can greatly improve the survival rate.
prostatitis
Symptoms: Frequent and urgent urination; Pain in urination and white dripping after urination; Pain in the perineum and bottom of the waist; Systemic symptoms such as general fatigue and fatigue.
"Prostatitis is commonly seen in young and middle-aged men," Professor Liang Jian said. To make a diagnosis, it is necessary to check prostate fluid and combine symptoms. An increase of more than 10 units of white blood cells in prostate fluid indicates inflammation. If there are three "+"'s, it indicates severe inflammation.
Some men have many problems after suffering from prostatitis, fearing that it may affect fertility, sexual life, or lead to malignant changes if they cannot be cured.
"In fact, prostatitis is like a cold in the urinary system. A cold can be cured, and if you don't pay attention, you can still get it again. So is prostatitis."
Experts say that prostatitis rarely causes infertility, and unless it is gonococcal prostatitis, cancer rarely occurs.
However, prostatitis does affect sexual life, and some patients' sexual desire may deteriorate. Some people may also experience premature ejaculation and ejaculation pain. "If gonorrheal prostatitis affects women, it is best to wear condoms during sex. If non gonorrheal prostatitis affects women less during sex.". Gonorrhea prostatitis does not heal repeatedly, and some cases show congestion and redness at the urethral orifice, with secretions.
