What are the typical symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia? What should I pay attention to when I eat for BPH
Post Date November, 16 2024
Prostatic hyperplasia is caused by the gradual enlargement of the prostate that causes pressure on the urethral orifice and the surrounding bladder. In clinical practice, this type of patients are mainly manifested in frequent urination, urgency of urination and increased urination, which can cause serious complications such as urinary system infection and bladder stones. So what are the symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia? For this problem, let's have a detailed understanding.
1. Bladder stone: When the urinary tract is smooth, stones will not grow in the bladder. Even if stones fall from the ureter into the bladder, they can be discharged with urine. However, patients with BPH are prone to bladder stones due to blocked urinary tract.
2. Difficulty in urination: slow urination, difficulty in urination, inability to urinate, small urine line, urine drop, and endless urination.
3. Hematuria: The amount of bleeding is mostly intermittent, occasionally massive bleeding, and blood clots fill the bladder, which must be treated urgently.
4. Urine accumulation, urinary incontinence: excess urine makes the bladder lose its contractility, and the urine remaining in the bladder increases. When the bladder is excessively inflated, urine will overflow from the urethral orifice unconsciously.
5. Frequent urination and urgency of urination: The most common symptom is frequent urination, which gradually worsens, especially the increase in the number of nocturnal urination.
6. Hydronephrosis and uremia: prostatic hyperplasia oppresses the urethra for a long time, and bladder urine pours into the ureter and pelvis, causing hydronephrosis and uremia.
7. Urinary system infection: patients often have different degrees of urine accumulation, and bacterial reproduction will cause infection.
General treatment of prostatic hyperplasia
1. Vigilant observation. Mild benign prostatic hyperplasia, asymptomatic or mild, requires regular examination and close observation. Once the disease develops, it must be actively treated.
2. Drug treatment of prostatic hyperplasia. In recent years, with the emergence of drugs to control prostatic hyperplasia and improve urinary tract obstruction, it is generally believed that drug treatment should be the first line of treatment. At present, a large number of studies have confirmed that drug treatment cannot achieve the goal of radical cure.
3. Surgical treatment of prostatic hyperplasia. For some patients, especially those with complications caused by severe prostatic hyperplasia, surgical treatment is recommended. However, surgery has certain risks, especially for patients with cardiovascular disease and older age. The side effects of the operation include bleeding, impotence, retrograde ejaculation, etc.
