What are the symptoms of prostate enlargement?

Prostatic hypertrophy is a common disease among men, also known as prostatic hyperplasia. After the disease occurs, some symptoms will appear. The most common one is frequent urination, which will cause pain during urination. Some elderly people will have the urge to urinate, which will lead to wetting their pants. More serious cases will cause urinary tract obstruction, causing difficulty in urination and even urine retention, causing hematuria, etc.

1. Posterior urethral discomfort and perineal pressure

Prostate hypertrophy is a common disease among men, especially among middle-aged and elderly men, who are more likely to suffer from prostate hypertrophy due to decreased resistance.

2. Frequent urination

Regardless of day or night, the frequency of urination becomes more and more, far exceeding the normal frequency: 3-4 times during the day and 1-2 times at night.

3. Painful and urgent urination

Since urine cannot be completely discharged, patients with prostate disease are prone to bacterial growth and urinary tract infection, which leads to painful urination. They want to urinate as soon as they feel the urge, but urination is not smooth, forming a vicious cycle.

4. Difficulty urinating

When urinating, you may experience difficulty urinating and sometimes have to stand by the toilet for a while before you can urinate.

5. Interrupted urination

This will cause the urine in the bladder to be unable to be completely discharged, and it will "accumulate" in the bladder, resulting in excessive urine concentration. Crystals will gather and easily form stones, which will cause urine interruption.

6. Hematuria

Prostate hypertrophy and congestion can easily cause hematuria. Mental problems: The disease can also have a serious impact on the patient's mental state, making it easy for them to experience symptoms such as listlessness and mental confusion.

7. Weak urination

Although the urination is urgent, there is no impulse when urinating, and the range and speed of urine will be affected. The urine flow of people with prostatic hypertrophy is not only very thin, but also there is a sense of weakness when it is discharged, resulting in the urine not being able to form a parabola, and even interruption.

8. Difficulty urinating

When the urethra is obstructed, the resistance to urine excretion increases, making urination difficult. Changes in urine may include hematuria. Urinary tract obstruction and stagnation of urine flow are prone to urinary tract infection and may cause urinary tract purulence.
