How to treat enlarged prostate

Prostate disease is no longer only suffered by the elderly. Due to mental stress and working overtime, many young people also have prostate enlargement. Once men find that they have prostate enlargement, they will not see a doctor as soon as possible due to self-esteem or shame. They often delay treatment until the disease becomes serious. At this time, it is often difficult to treat. Therefore, male friends should have a better understanding of the symptoms and treatment of prostate enlargement to reduce the harm. At the same time, combined with the method of diet therapy, the disease will be cured quickly.

How to treat enlarged prostate:

First, we must make a standardized diagnosis when treating prostate hypertrophy. Therefore, patients should choose to go to a regular professional andrology hospital for examination, clarify the cause of our disease, and take symptomatic treatment. Patients must pay attention to not being embarrassed when prostate hypertrophy occurs and dare not go to the hospital for treatment. At this time, they will follow the advice in some small advertisements and delay the treatment time.

Second, the treatment of prostate hypertrophy must be timely, because when prostate hypertrophy occurs, we must treat it as soon as possible. If we miss the best time for treatment, the difficulty of treatment will increase relatively, and prostate hypertrophy will cause great harm to our body. Obviously, the occurrence of prostate hypertrophy causes uremia, bladder stones and other diseases.

Third, patients with prostate hypertrophy believe that as long as they take medication, they can be cured. Plant-based medicines can temporarily relieve the symptoms of male patients. However, if the condition is more serious, then simply using medication can only temporarily relieve the symptoms but cannot cure the root cause. We still need to go to the hospital for a detailed examination in time, and if surgery is required, have the surgery as soon as possible.

Symptoms of enlarged prostate:

1. Frequent urination

Frequent urination is an early symptom, which begins with an increase in the number of nocturnal urinations, but the amount of urine each time is not large. When the lower urinary tract is obstructed, 50% to 80% of patients experience urinary urgency or urge incontinence. After the detrusor muscle fails to compensate, chronic urinary retention occurs, the effective capacity of the bladder is reduced, and the interval between urinations is shortened. If accompanied by bladder stones or infection, frequent urination becomes more obvious and is accompanied by urinary pain.

2. Hematuria

The capillaries of the prostate mucosa are congested and the small blood vessels are dilated. They are pulled by the enlarged gland or rubbed against the bladder. When the bladder contracts, it can cause microscopic or macroscopic hematuria, which is one of the common causes of hematuria in elderly men. Occasionally, there is a large amount of hematuria. Cystoscopy, metal catheterization, and sudden bladder decompression during acute urinary retention catheterization can easily cause severe hematuria.

3. Urinary tract infection

Lower urinary tract obstruction is caused by urine retention leading to urinary tract infection, which may cause symptoms such as urinary urgency, frequent urination, and difficulty urinating, accompanied by urinary pain. When upper urinary tract infection occurs, fever, back pain, and systemic poisoning symptoms may occur. Although patients usually have no symptoms of urinary tract infection, there may be more white blood cells in the urine, or bacterial growth in urine culture, and treatment should be given 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 can gradually form stones. The complication rate of bladder stones can reach more than 10%. Symptoms may include interrupted urine flow, pain at the end of urination, and the ability to urinate only after changing body position.

5. Kidney function damage

Due to ureteral reflux, hydronephrosis leads to kidney function damage. When patients seek medical treatment, they complain of loss of appetite, anemia, increased blood pressure, or drowsiness and slow consciousness. Therefore, for elderly men with unexplained symptoms of renal insufficiency, prostatic hypertrophy should be ruled out first.

6. Difficulty urinating

The glands are enlarged, the mechanical obstruction is aggravated, and the symptoms of dysuria are found. The degree of lower urinary tract obstruction is not proportional to the size of the glands. Due to the increase in urethral resistance, the patient's urination is delayed, the urination time is prolonged, the range is not far, and the urine stream is thin and weak. The urine is forked, and there is a feeling of incomplete urination. If the obstruction is further aggravated, the patient must increase abdominal pressure to help urination. Breathing causes the abdominal pressure to increase and decrease, and the urine flow is interrupted and dripping.
