There are many cases of male prostate hyperplasia, which often troubles everyone. What are the early signs of prostate hyperplasia? How can traditional Chinese medicine distinguish benign prostatic hyperplasia?
The early diagnosis rate of benign prostatic hyperplasia is relatively low in clinical practice, so it is important to recognize the early signals of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The main early signals of benign prostatic hyperplasia in clinical practice are as follows.
Hematuria:
The early occurrence of hematuria in prostate enlargement is due to the fact that the enlarged prostate is in a congested state. When urinating vigorously, it can cause the rupture of surface blood vessels and cause bleeding.
Hyperlibido:
In the early stages of prostate enlargement, patients may exhibit an increase in sexual desire that is not in line with their age, or a sudden increase in sexual desire that is consistently normal. This is often due to prostate enlargement, which leads to dysfunction of prostate function and feedback leading to temporary enhancement of testicular function.
Urinary frequency:
It is a major symptom in the early stage of prostate enlargement, especially increased nocturia. This is because prostate enlargement causes posterior urethral infarction, which hinders normal urination and prevents the bladder from being completely emptied every time urination occurs. There is always a small amount of urine remaining in the bladder, which reduces the capacity of the bladder. So, shortly after the previous urination, there will be a tendency to urinate again, resulting in frequent urination.
Effort in urination:
It is another symptom of early prostate enlargement. Especially at the beginning of urination, it takes a lot of effort to pass out, and the urine flow is very fine, and the distance of the urine flow to the outside is also very short; Some patients may experience intermittent urination when they hold their breath for too long and need to exhale. Urinary flow is interrupted with a decrease in abdominal pressure and requires further effort to continue urination.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Differentiation of Prostate Enlargement
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the basic characteristic of enlarged prostate is the differentiation of positive deficiency and excess, and the location of the disease is related to "urinary incontinence". The most commonly used treatment is to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and replenish qi and kidney. In clinical practice, traditional Chinese medicine categorizes prostate enlargement into six categories based on syndrome differentiation.
Bladder heat accumulation syndrome
Urine is hot, yellow, and red, with unpleasant drips. It is difficult to relieve symptoms, such as less bloating and fullness of the abdomen. If there is a dull pain, it is difficult to relieve symptoms, and drips are difficult to pass. If the mouth is dry, it is difficult to drink, and the stool is secretive. The tongue is red and the pulse is numbered.
Syndrome of lung qi stagnation
Urinary obstruction, low abdominal distension, cold and hot cough, pain in the stem, thirst, liking to drink, pulse sinking, thin and slightly yellow fur.
Syndrome of Turbidity and Stasis Obstruction
Urinary flow is not smooth, or urine is as fine as a thread, or blocked, the lower abdomen is swollen and dull, the tongue is purple and dark with ecchymosis, and the pulse is astringent or thin.
Syndrome of Yin Deficiency and Excessive Fire
Frequent urination, obstructed flow, intermittent onset, intermittent onset in case of fatigue, prolonged recovery, accompanied by dizziness and tinnitus, dry mouth and dryness, less red tongue coating, and fine pulse count.
Kidney Yang Deficiency and Failure Syndrome
Weak urination, unpleasant dribbling, clear urine, pale complexion, weak energy and energy, fatigue and weakness, cold limbs, soreness in the waist and knees, pale tongue coating, and weak and weak pulse.
Syndrome of Weakness of Spleen Temper
Sometimes wanting to urinate, but unable to relieve it, or in small amounts but not refreshing, with heavy abdomen and sagging anus, as if wanting to defecate, feeling tired and short of breath, body fatigue, weak tongue, and slow and weak pulse.
