Prostate disease is no longer something that only the elderly suffer from. Due to high mental pressure and working overtime and staying up late, many young people have also developed prostate hypertrophy. Once men find themselves with problems due to self-esteem or shame, they will not go to the doctor as early as possible. They often delay the disease until it becomes serious before they have to seek treatment. At this time, treatment is often difficult. Therefore, male friends need to know more about the symptoms and treatment of prostatic hypertrophy in order to reduce the harm. At the same time, coupled with dietary therapy, the disease will be cured soon.

How to treat prostate enlargement:

First, when treating prostatic hypertrophy, we must make a standardized diagnosis. Therefore, patients should choose to go to a regular professional men's hospital for examination to clarify the cause of our disease and take appropriate treatment. Patients must pay attention to the occurrence of prostatic hypertrophy and do not be too embarrassed to go to the hospital for treatment. At this time, they will follow the advice in some small advertisements and delay the treatment time.

Second, treatment of prostate hypertrophy must be timely. Because of the occurrence of prostate hypertrophy, we must treat it as soon as possible. If the best time for treatment is missed, the difficulty of treatment will be relatively increased, and prostate hypertrophy will cause great harm to our body. Obviously, the occurrence of prostate hypertrophy can cause uremia, bladder stones and other diseases.

Third, patients with prostatic hyperplasia believe that drug treatment is enough. Plant-based drugs can temporarily relieve the symptoms of male patients. However, if it is more serious, then simply using drugs at this time can only relieve the symptoms temporarily but cannot get rid of the root cause. We still need to go to the hospital for detailed examination in time. If surgery is needed, surgery should be performed as soon as possible.

Symptoms of prostate enlargement:
1. Frequent urination
Frequent urination is an early symptom. First, the number of nocturia increases, but the amount of urine each time is not large. When lower urinary tract obstruction occurs, 50% to 80% of patients have urinary urgency or urge incontinence. After decompensation of the bladder detrusor, chronic urinary retention occurs, resulting in a reduction in the effective capacity of the bladder and a shortened urination interval. If accompanied by bladder stones or infection, frequent urination will become more obvious and accompanied by painful urination.

2. Hematuria

The capillaries of the prostate mucosa are congested and the small blood vessels are dilated and are pulled by the enlarged gland or rub against the bladder. When the bladder contracts, it can cause microscopic or gross hematuria. It is one of the common causes of hematuria in male elderly people. Occasionally, there is a large amount of hematuria, and sudden decompression of the bladder during cystoscopy, metal urinary catheter catheterization, and acute urinary retention catheterization can easily cause severe hematuria.

3. Urinary tract infection

Lower urinary tract obstruction is a urinary tract infection caused by retention of urine. Symptoms such as urgency, frequency, and difficulty in urination may occur, and may be accompanied by painful urination. When upper urinary tract infection occurs secondary, symptoms of fever, low back pain and systemic poisoning may occur. Although patients usually have no symptoms of urinary tract infection, they may have more white blood cells in their urine or bacterial growth in urine culture, which should be treated before surgery.

4. Bladder stones

Lower urinary tract obstruction, especially when there is residual urine, the urine stays in the bladder for a long time, and stones can gradually form. The complication rate of bladder stones can reach more than 10%. Symptoms such as interruption of the urinary line, pain at the end of urination, and difficulty in urinating after changing body position may occur.

5. Kidney function damage

Due to ureteral reflux and hydronephrosis, renal function is destroyed, and patients complain of loss of appetite, anemia, elevated blood pressure, or lethargy and unconsciousness when seeking treatment. Therefore, for elderly men with unexplained symptoms of renal insufficiency, prostatic hypertrophy should be ruled out first.

6. Difficulty urinating

The glands are enlarged, mechanical obstruction is aggravated, symptoms of difficulty urinating are found, and the degree of lower urinary tract obstruction is not proportional to the size of the glands. Due to increased urethral resistance, the patient's urination is delayed, the urination time is prolonged, the urination range is not far, and the urinary line is thin and weak. The urine is bifurcated and there is a feeling of incomplete urination. If the obstruction worsens, the patient must increase abdominal pressure to help urinate. Breathing increases and decreases abdominal pressure, causing interruption of urine flow and dripping.
