Can benign prostatic hyperplasia cause urinary poisoning? What are the treatments for the prostate gland
Can benign prostatic hyperplasia cause urinary poisoning? Experts in Urology pointed out that at present, when the hyperplasia of the lined glands develops to the middle stage, the urethral obstruction is aggravated. As urethral resistance increases, patients may experience symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. The urine in the bladder cannot be completely emptied, so there will be residual urine. Therefore, patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia must adopt a positive attitude towards treatment.
If prostate hyperplasia is in the late stage, urethral obstruction is severe, bladder compensation function is incomplete, and residual urine volume in the bladder increases. When it exceeds 200 milliliters, the patient's lower abdomen can touch a lump, and urination cannot form a line, appearing as a droplet. As the internal pressure of the bladder rises, it is transmitted to the kidneys, and the internal pressure of both kidneys rises, resulting in double Hydronephrosis, damage to renal function, and chronic urinary poisoning.
As is well known, urinary poisoning is a very serious disease, even life-threatening. Therefore, patients are particularly nervous when they hear of urinary poisoning. However, the urinary toxicity caused by prostate hyperplasia in the later stage is different from that caused by chronic nephritis. As long as treated promptly, the prognosis is usually better. Due to this type of urinary poisoning being caused by severe urethral obstruction, it indirectly affects the kidneys, and the kidneys themselves do not have organic lesions. As long as the urethral obstruction is resolved in a timely manner, the kidneys can still restore urinary function. Urinary toxicity caused by nephritis is the severe loss of function of the kidney itself due to nephritis lesions. This pathological change is irreversible. Patients can only maintain their lives through dialysis treatment or kidney transplantation.
Experts in Urology pointed out that the simplest way to prevent and treat urinary poisoning caused by BPH is to retain the urinary catheterization system as soon as possible, alleviate bladder and urethra obstruction, and quickly restore renal function. However, some elderly patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia are afraid of catheterization and delayed treatment, which are the fundamental causes of urinary poisoning. Severe urinary poisoning usually takes several months or even a year to retain catheterization, while long-term retention of the catheterization system is uncomfortable and prone to urinary and reproductive tract infections, making it not the best policy. The best method is to have a bladder fistula until kidney function returns to normal, followed by a prostatectomy. If the patient is old and weak, accompanied by severe heart and lung disease, and cannot tolerate prostatectomy, they can also have a lifelong bladder fistula and still live a normal life.
