The Chinese prostate has a transverse diameter of about 4cm (2.99-5.3cm), a vertical diameter of about 3cm (1.48-4.58cm), a fore-and-aft diameter of about 2cm (1.46-3.94cm), and a weight of 9.21-31.8g. It can be seen from this that the size of the prostate varies from person to person, and the difference is relatively large. Therefore, it may be normal for young people to have a slightly larger prostate. There is no need to worry too much.
If your prostate is enlarged and you still have these symptoms, you should be treated as soon as possible.
1. Symptoms in urine storage period
Patients often have frequent and urgent urination, and pain will also occur when storing urine. If the bladder is firm, the pain will become more obvious.
2. Symptoms during urination
Patients will become difficult to urinate, usually with short range and delayed onset. It is suggested that patients can help urinate by increasing abdominal pressure.
3. Symptoms after urination
Patients may urinate endlessly and drip after urination. The patient has excessive bladder expansion after urination, and acute urinary retention can occur if the patient gets cold, drinks alcohol, and holds back urine.
4. Other symptoms (aggravating period)
① Hematuria
Hyperemia in the capillaries on the mucosa of the current row of glands will rub against the enlarged glands and the bladder, resulting in hematuria.
② Urinary system infection
Urinary retention will cause infection of the patient's urinary system, and there will be pain in urination.
③ Bladder calculus
Urine will form stones after staying in the bladder for a long time, and the specific manifestation is that there is pain when urinating.
④ Renal function damage
Ureteral reflux will occur in patients with prostate, which will form hydronephrosis and seriously affect renal function.
In addition, the prostatic fluid secreted by the prostate is an important component of semen and plays an important role in the normal function and fertility of sperm. Therefore, it is inappropriate for some patients with chronic prostatitis who are childless and have severe symptoms to often seek a doctor to cut off the prostate.
