Male friends are very distressed to hear about the emergence of prostate diseases. The emergence of prostate diseases has brought certain harm to their health and normal life. Therefore, we must pay attention to the occurrence of prostate diseases and actively treat them. So, how should prostate diseases be checked?
Prostate diseases are most likely to occur and recur in winter, which is related to many people's unwillingness to stay up late and preference for holding urine after cold weather. Under the low temperature environment, the excitability of the sympathetic nerve of the prostate would have been significantly enhanced, which would have caused the contraction of the prostate gland, causing chronic congestion, increasing the pressure in the urethra, aggravating the accumulation of prostatic fluid, and easily leading to the onset of prostate diseases. If you hold your urine again at this time, a decrease in the frequency of urination will lead to a slower metabolic rate, which will further exacerbate the symptoms of prostatitis.
How to check for prostate diseases
1. Physical examination: check whether the patient is unresponsive, has anemia, and has edema. Hypertension (clues for identifying or excluding early uremia); Whether there is a lump and its location in the abdomen (determining whether the compensatory period or decompensated period of urinary tract obstruction); Whether there is secretion in the urethra and whether the epididymis is enlarged (to determine whether there is a concurrent infection).
2. Digital anal examination: check the tension of anal sphincter (distinguish neurogenic bladder) and the condition of prostate, pay attention to the size of prostate, whether the central sulcus disappears, whether there are nodules, prostate hardness, tenderness, etc.
3. Laboratory examination: Pay attention to the presence of concurrent urinary tract infections during urine routine examination; Blood routine and biochemical tests: A decrease in hemoglobin and an increase in urea nitrogen indicate uremia.
4. Renal function examination: Elevated urea nitrogen and creatinine indicate impaired renal function.
5. Ultrasound examination: It can determine the size of prostate hyperplasia and the presence and quantity of residual urine in the bladder.
6. Urinary flow rate examination can measure the function of the lower urinary tract.
7. X-ray examination: It can understand the condition of the prostate itself and determine the impact of prostate obstruction on the urinary tract.
8. Isotope renogram examination: Understand the condition of urinary tract obstruction and renal function.
9. Cystourethroscopy examination: It can confirm the diagnosis and observe the condition of middle lobe hyperplasia, as well as understand the pathological changes of the lower urinary tract.
10. Prostate biopsy: Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia with nodules should undergo a biopsy if necessary to diagnose or exclude prostate cancer.
How should prostate diseases be examined? Through the introduction of the above content, have you all understood this issue now? The harm that prostate disease brings to the health of patients is quite frightening. Therefore, we must go to a regular hospital for treatment in a timely manner for this disease.
