Prostatic hyperplasia is one of the most common prostate diseases in middle-aged men, and frequent urination is the most common symptom. Many people think this is just a small matter, but it is not. Prostatic hyperplasia has a great impact on middle-aged men. If it is not treated in time, it will not only affect life, but also cause some complications. So what harm will BPH bring to us? How to prevent the arrival of prostatic hyperplasia.
What is the harm of prostatic hyperplasia?
Prostatic hyperplasia may cause kidney damage and even uremia.
This is because the hyperplasia of the prostate oppresses the urethra, and the bladder needs to contract hard to overcome the resistance and discharge urine. Over time, the bladder muscle will become unable to relieve the bladder pressure for a long time, and the residual urine in the bladder will gradually increase. The bladder muscle will be ischemic and anoxic, without tension, and the bladder cavity will expand. Finally, the urine in the bladder will pour back into the ureter and pelvis, causing hydronephrosis, and sometimes uremia.
Bladder stones in the elderly are also related to prostatic hyperplasia.
When the urinary tract is smooth, the bladder will not grow stones. Even if a stone falls from the ureter into the bladder, it can excrete urine. The elderly with prostatic hyperplasia are different.
Prostatic hyperplasia may induce diseases such as hernia (small intestine gas) in the elderly.
Patients with BPH have difficulty urinating, and urination requires strength and breathing. Due to frequent exertion, the intestines protrude from the weakness of the abdomen and form a hernia (small intestine gas). Sometimes patients will have hemorrhoids and varicose veins of the lower limbs.
Cause infection.
As the saying goes, "running water never rots", but patients with BPH often have different degrees of urinary retention. The residual urine in the bladder is like a pool of stagnant water. Once bacteria multiply, it will cause uncontrollable infection.
It leads to urine accumulation and urinary incontinence.
Urinary effusion can occur at any stage of the disease. Due to climate change, alcohol consumption and fatigue, the prostate is suddenly congested and swollen. Excess urine can make the bladder lose its contractility, and the urine retained in the bladder gradually increases. When the bladder is excessively inflated, urine will overflow from the urethral orifice unconsciously. This kind of incontinence is called filling incontinence. This kind of patient must receive emergency treatment. In daily life, male friends should pay attention to prostatic hyperplasia. Eat reasonably and take effective care of your body. Pay attention to keep the penis clean, massage and health care reasonably, and avoid sitting for a long time and exercising properly. We should know about this disease in advance.
