There are many middle-aged and elderly patients with BPH who have urine blood for no reason, which makes them very nervous. Because in the common sense, blood in urine is associated with malignant tumors. After a series of clinical examinations, many people did not find other diseases except for prostatic hyperplasia. They were puzzled by this: Why does BPH also make blood? Let's listen to the experts.
Why does prostatic hyperplasia cause hematuria
Clinically, it has been shown that hematuria can occur only in BPH, and occasionally a large amount of blood and blood clots can occur in urine.
We know that the blood vessels in the hyperplastic prostate can increase, especially a kind of hyperplasia that is pathologically classified as interstitial type, which is characterized by a large amount of hyperplasia of fibrous tissue and blood vessels. The hyperplastic tissue protrudes into the urethral cavity, and the chances of being impacted by urine are many and strong. Because the hyperplastic prostate makes the patient's urination not smooth, the patient's urination force is too large, or the local sudden decompression after urination can easily lead to the rupture of rich blood vessels in the hyperplastic prostate, causing hematuria.
In addition, the pressure of prostatic hyperplasia on the urethra can also be combined with other diseases of the urinary tract, such as inflammation of the urethra and bladder, bladder swelling stones, bladder cleaning chamber, etc. These diseases can also cause hematuria.
Generally speaking, most of the hematuria caused by BPH is not serious, and can stop without drugs. If other reasons such as tumor are excluded through relevant examination, don't worry too much. Treat prostatic hyperplasia in time, and hematuria will disappear naturally.
