Prostate hyperplasia, these consequences are unimaginable!

Some men are diagnosed with prostate enlargement, which is actually medically called prostate hyperplasia. The disease is clinically divided into two categories, both of which are distinguished based on their symptoms. The main symptoms include urinary urgency and frequency, increased nocturia, etc. So, what harm will prostate hyperplasia bring to the majority of male patients?

Dangers of prostate hyperplasia

1. Prostatic hyperplasia is a disease caused by the imbalance of sex hormones in the human body, which causes the glandular connective tissue and smooth muscle tissue of the middle lobe or inverted lobe under the posterior urethra mucosa to gradually proliferate, forming multiple spherical nodules, causing a series of functional disorders in the urethra, bladder and kidneys.

2. In the early stage of the disease, the symptoms include increased urination frequency, ranging from 2 to 3 times at night to 5 to 6 times at night, and prolonged urination time. With the further proliferation of the prostate, the obstruction of urine becomes more and more serious, the urine flow becomes thinner, and urine is retained in the bladder and cannot be discharged. Over time, the bladder's compensation capacity gradually declines and becomes ineffective. If at this time, drinking, overwork, and climate change will cause further congestion and edema of the prostate, aggravating the obstruction symptoms, and then causing ureteral hydrops, kidney function loss, and coma and other uremic symptoms, which are life-threatening.

3. Prostate enlargement itself is not dangerous, but it has three main hazards:

First, if your bladder never empties safely, the accumulated urine can become infected (see Cystitis in Men).

Second, when the outflow of urine is blocked, the pressure inside the bladder increases, and the kidneys and ureters (the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder) are affected. This can lead to a kidney infection (see acute pyelonephritis).

Finally, if severe, untreated prostate enlargement occurs, your bladder muscles may not be able to overcome the resistance to urine flow and may suddenly or gradually stop functioning.
