The relationship between prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia

Prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia are common problems for men. These diseases are very harmful to people. They usually occur in middle-aged and elderly men. They are important diseases that threaten the reproductive health of middle-aged and elderly men. They have a great impact on the lives of patients. Is there a relationship between prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia? Let's take a look at the introduction below.

Prostatitis is a common disease among adult men, while prostatic hyperplasia is a common disease among elderly men. They can exist at the same time and have a certain relationship.

When the enlarged prostate causes obvious obstruction to the bladder outlet, the detrusor muscle of the bladder cannot completely empty the urine and residual urine occurs. At this time, the bladder is already in a state of decompensation. Residual urine is an important cause of bacterial infection and reproduction. In addition, the defense mechanism of the bladder mucosa is damaged, so it is very easy to induce urinary tract infection, and therefore it is also easy to cause prostate infection. The source of infection can come from bacterial ascending infection in the urethra, or from pathogens that infect other parts of the body through the lymph, blood, and direct spread. Therefore, prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia can exist at the same time, and theoretically, relevant clinical data are very scarce, and there are few reports on systematic and comprehensive research on the relationship between the two.

When diagnosing prostate hyperplasia in elderly men, do not neglect the diagnosis of prostatitis, because the congestion and swelling of the prostate caused by prostatitis can aggravate the local obstruction symptoms of prostate hyperplasia. Therefore, a clear diagnosis is of great value for reasonable treatment.

From the above introduction, there is a certain relationship between prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia. Therefore, people should know more about this disease, especially male friends. They must be vigilant about prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia, and check their reproductive system regularly when necessary to eliminate the factors that cause the disease and keep their physiological functions in a normal state.
