The prostate is an important organ of men, but the prostate is also prone to many diseases. It is very common in routine ultrasound and physical examination, and some diseases are similar. So many people are a little confused about some diseases with similar symptoms and names.
This is the case with these two diseases. Many people will think that the problem of prostatic hyperplasia and prostatic enlargement is the same. So is it true or not? Now let me tell you, is prostatic hyperplasia and prostatic enlargement the same thing? I hope it will be useful to you.
First of all, it should be said that BPH and BPH really belong to the same disease, but they are just different names. For young people in general, if they have BPH, it is mostly caused by excessive inflammation.
For this disease, the clinical manifestations may be frequent urination and urgency. In the early stage, the urine at night will increase, but every time it will feel that urine is not enough. With the increase of the gland, it will also appear difficult to urinate, and finally, it will cause hematuria.
Finally, we need to say that the harm of BPH lies in the pathophysiological changes caused by lower urinary tract obstruction. Therefore, we must pay attention to timely treatment of this disease. For patients with mild conditions, we can use drugs to control it. For patients with serious circumstances, we need to use surgical treatment.
Note: Generally speaking, prostate enlargement is mainly caused by inflammatory enlargement caused by prostatitis, and the main disease is prostatitis. Prostatic hyperplasia is mainly the case of elderly people. Ultrasound examination will cause bladder bulge and urination difficulty.
