If the prostate is large, but without any clinical symptoms, it does not constitute a disease, just a hyperplasia state. There is no need to rush for medical intervention at this time.
However, if many symptoms appear after competing, and all are related to "urination", which is manifested by frequent urination, especially the increase in the number of nocturnal urination; You have to urinate before you reach the toilet; Weak urination, poor urination, fine urine rheology, etc.
At this time, you should not be rushed to hospital, but should go to a regular hospital for reasonable treatment.
Symptoms alone are not the whole basis for judging the severity of the disease. Physical examination and imaging examination are also very important. The most commonly used examination method is B-ultrasound.
It can understand the size and shape of the prostate, and can also show whether there are other diseases in the kidney and bladder. Some people find that the prostate is large and has hyperplasia, but there are no symptoms. This situation does not necessarily need treatment.
B-ultrasound is very convenient and reliable for measuring residual urine. A large amount of residual urine indicates a serious illness. Urinary flow rate measurement is a detection method introduced in recent years.
The maximum urine flow rate of normal people is generally not less than 20 milliliters per second. It is normal for the elderly to have more than 15 milliliters per second. If it is less than 10 milliliters per second, it means that the disease is serious.
Therefore, in daily life, the elderly should not only pay attention to their urination, but also have regular physical examination in urology.
