How is prostate hyperplasia caused? Prostatic hyperplasia, as a common disease among men, is naturally a self-evident threat to men's health. Why does it occur? Many people still have questions, so let's take a closer look at the causes of prostate hyperplasia.
Prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), formerly known as hypertrophy of the prostate, is one of the common diseases in elderly men and is a benign lesion of the prostate. "Hyperplasia is evident in the bilateral and middle lobes, which protrudes into the bladder or urethra, compressing the bladder neck or urethra, causing lower urinary tract obstruction.". The long-term pathological changes can cause hydronephrosis and renal function damage. It can also be complicated with stones, infections, tumors, etc.
Prostatic hyperplasia is something every man can't get rid of
Ping An health expert reminds you that prostate hyperplasia is a normal proliferative change in an elderly male, and in fact, as long as a male enters the elderly stage, hyperplasia is inevitable. "When a normal male reaches the elderly stage, all organs and tissues of the body are shrinking, but the prostate gland is hyperplastic, which can be considered a" counter life phenomenon. ". According to relevant statistics, the older the person is, the higher the incidence rate will be. 80% of men aged 60 will have BPH, which will rise to 90% by the age of 70, and 100% of men by the age of 80. Therefore, except for women, eunuchs, and clinically patients with congenital testicular growth defects, every normal man can not get rid of it.
The cause of hyperplasia is unclear&it is beginning to show a trend of low age
Experts believe that the pathogenesis of benign prostatic hyperplasia has not yet been clarified, and the molecular and genetic levels are still unclear. It may be related to factors such as urban pollution, high protein diet, and changes in hormone levels in the elderly. From the perspective of incidence, the probability of benign prostatic hyperplasia among the elderly in urban areas is higher than that among the rural poor, Of course, in the 1980s and 1990s, with the improvement of rural living standards, the incidence rate also increased, and the difference between urban and rural areas was also narrowing. Moreover, the incidence of prostate hyperplasia is gradually becoming younger, and it is no longer an absolute geriatric disease.
I hope that every male friend can understand that prostate hyperplasia, as a male disease, has a significant impact on themselves. Therefore, attention must be paid to prevention and health care in daily life. Once abnormal reproductive health conditions are found, they should actively receive examination and treatment.
