In fact, in addition to patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, any patient with prostate disease should try to avoid dry stool. Because once there is dry stool, in addition to the pressure on the prostate, it is also easy to directly cause or aggravate the damage to the prostate during the process of defecation.
It is understood that the male prostate is close to the outside of the rectum. In the process of defecation, due to the filling of feces, it is easy to cause the expansion of the rectum, thus forming an indirect compression on the prostate. This is the reason why many patients with prostate diseases are prone to suffer from severe symptoms such as perineal distension and white urethral orifice during defecation.
Of course, dry stool, in addition to easily aggravate the symptoms of perineum bloating and urethral mouth dripping, there are other aspects of the harm that should not be underestimated.
1. Dry stool is easy to induce acute urinary retention.
Because of the pressure of the hyperplasia tissue, the posterior urethra of the prostate in patients with BPH is relatively narrow; Its urination function is relatively difficult.
At this time, the dry stool is difficult to excrete. The wet new stool will inevitably be blocked. In this way, the stool in the rectum keeps accumulating, and more and more; The diameter of the rectum will also be larger and larger; The pressure of stool on the prostate will become more and more obvious; The stricture of the posterior urethra of the prostate will also become more and more serious.
At present, acute urinary retention will occur when the posterior urethral stricture of the glandular array reaches a certain degree and the dysuria reaches a certain degree.
2. Dry stool can easily cause or aggravate prostate damage.
This is particularly evident in men who have undergone prostate surgery.
As we all know, dry stool will inevitably cause difficulty in defecation. If defecation is difficult, there will be efforts to defecate. In the process of trying to defecate, the pelvic muscles will contract and relax violently, which will affect the contraction and relaxation of the prostate and increase the probability of prostate injury.
