"When many middle-aged men feel pain in their prostate, urgency to urinate, and other conditions, the first reaction is often to consider whether they have prostatitis.". "Then take medication without authorization for treatment, but it has not been effective for a long time, and may even lead to other complications.". Who knows there is a difference between prostatitis and prostate hyperplasia.
First, let's understand the main symptoms of prostatitis:
(1) The main manifestation of pain is pain or discomfort in the lower abdominal bladder, pubic bone, or perineal region in patients with prostatitis. Some patients manifest as suffocation, while others manifest as testicular discomfort or tenderness.
(2) Prostatitis patients with different sexual dysfunction have different sexual function changes and varying degrees, but the main manifestations are concentrated in two aspects: first, decreased sexual desire, or even no sexual demand; The second is erectile dysfunction, with some patients even experiencing erectile dysfunction.
(3) General symptoms of general discomfort include sudden fever, chills, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting. When a sudden onset occurs, systemic symptoms can mask local symptoms. In addition, there are also significant irritation symptoms in the urinary system, such as frequent urination, urgency, burning pain in the urethra, dripping urine, and purulent urethral secretions.
Next, let's analyze the symptoms of prostate hyperplasia. Elderly male friends with the following symptoms should highly consider prostate hyperplasia.
(1) Frequent urination and increased nocturnal urination are more clinically significant. Generally speaking, the number of nocturnal urinations is often parallel to the severity of prostate hypertrophy. Elderly people who previously did not wake up at night experienced urination 1-2 times at night, often reflecting the onset of early obstruction.
(2) Urinary retention In patients with advanced stage of prostatic hypertrophy and severe obstruction, acute urinary retention may occur due to the inability to excrete urine due to cold, drinking, too long urine holding time or infection.
(3) Blood vessels on the mucosal surface of hematuria expand or even rupture, causing bleeding, which is manifested as hematuria.
After understanding the difference between prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia, it is believed that patients who have doubts about their own conditions have been able to distinguish between them. I hope that patients can arrive at the hospital for detailed diagnosis as soon as possible to avoid misdiagnosis and delay treatment.
