What causes prostate enlargement in men?

What is prostate enlargement in men? The fluid of the prostate is very small, but it is very important for men. As people age, the number of people suffering from prostate enlargement is increasing. Many men are not clear enough about prostate enlargement, and they don’t know how their prostate enlarges, which results in serious harm. So, what is prostate enlargement in men?

The main causes of prostate enlargement are as follows:

1. Excessive sexual life causes congestion of the sexual organs, and the prostate tissue enlarges due to prolonged congestion.

2. Frequent or long-term drinking, and eating spicy and other irritating foods can stimulate prostate hypertrophy.

3. Lack of physical exercise can cause hardening of the arteries and poor blood circulation in the prostate, which can also lead to this disease.

4. Prostatitis has not been completely cured, or urethritis, cystitis, seminal vesicle inflammation, etc., cause the prostate tissue to become congested and enlarged.

If the middle lobe of the prostate grows, it will be like a spherical valve formed at the neck of the bladder, covering the internal opening of the urethra during urination, which will directly affect the discharge of urine. At this time, even if the prostate is not too large, the obstruction is very obvious, and the symptom of dysuria is very prominent. If the prostate mainly grows in the periphery, then even if the gland grows very large, a large prostate can be felt during a rectal digital examination, but it does not necessarily produce obvious symptoms of urination obstruction.

The volume should increase. This makes sense. In fact, the prostate of most patients has different degrees of enlargement, and some of the enlargement is very obvious. However, the volume of the prostate of some patients is not much enlarged, and some are even very small, but they still have symptoms of prostate hyperplasia, such as difficulty urinating and weak urination. What is going on?

The degree of urination difficulty of the patient does not depend entirely on the size of the prostate gland, but mainly on the location of the hyperplasia. If the prostate hyperplasia is close to the urethra and protrudes into the urethra or protrudes into the bladder, it will compress the urethra, which will produce obvious symptoms of urination obstruction.

Through the above specific introduction to the causes of male prostate hypertrophy, I hope that male friends can understand the symptoms that may appear in their bodies and seek timely treatment. They should also pay attention to personal hygiene and diet. For more information, please follow the editor at any time.
