Can prostate hyperplasia surgery be eradicated? Does prostate hyperplasia affect sexual function after surgery
It is often said that surgery can solve people's temporary pain, but it cannot guarantee the recurrence of this disease. This is the so-called wildfire that can't burn out and the spring breeze blows again. " Whether prostate hyperplasia will recur after surgery is the concern of many patients with prostate hyperplasia. Next, let's listen to the experts.
Will prostate hyperplasia recur after surgery?
Experts said that the recurrence of BPH after surgery must start from the differentiation of prostate. The prostate is divided into central area, peripheral area and transitional area. The peripheral area is the most frequent area of prostatitis and prostate cancer, and the transitional area is the most prone area of prostate hyperplasia. The central area is meaningless for both. There are also some glands around the urethra, mainly composed of fiber and smooth muscle tissue, called periurethral gland area, which is also the origin of prostatic hyperplasia.
From the age of 45 to about 50, the prostate began to degenerate, but the glands located in the transitional area and around the urethra began to proliferate, compressing the peripheral area to atrophy, forming the so-called surgical membrane. When the prostate is removed, the inner tissue with hyperplasia in the surgical membrane is essentially removed. The outer prostate is not contacted, and a small number of inner glands may cling to the surgical membrane and not be completely removed. Obviously, it left the material basis for the recurrence of BPH after surgery.
The recurrence of BPH to symptoms usually occurs many years after the removal of the prostate. It is generally believed to take at least 10 years. Patients who have no improvement in symptoms after surgery, or who have urinary tract obstruction in a short period of time, cannot be referred to as recurrence.
With regard to the treatment of recurrent prostatic hyperplasia, the curative effect of surgical resection is indeed reliable. Although the second operation is significantly more difficult than the first, and the patients are older, more complicated, and more risky, the patients who need to undergo surgery need not be too suspicious.
