Women's "big aunt", men's prostate. Frequent urination, urgent urination, increased nocturnal urination, and difficulty urination... may all be related to the "fat" of the prostate - "slimming" is necessary.
Fat, from chestnuts to goose eggs
With the increase of male age, the prostate will also "grow" quietly, such as the size of an almond before puberty, and after middle age, it can grow to the size of a goose egg, or even larger. It is what we often call "prostatic hypertrophy", or benign prostatic hyperplasia. Once the prostate gland is enlarged and obstructs the urethra, it will lead to the gradual decline of bladder function. For example, when you begin to urinate, you will feel difficult, the urine flow will be weakened, and the end of urination will be in the state of dripping urine. After urination, it feels as if you have not finished urinating, can not hold urine, frequent urination, frequent urination at night, etc.
Urination, from "clatter" to "tick"
From "clatter" to "tick" - whether it is easy or difficult to urinate, and whether the number of times is more or normal, are the intuitive feelings to judge whether the prostate is good or bad. Why does prostatic hyperplasia cause dysuria?
This is because the prostate is located below the bladder, which is close to the outlet of the urethra, and its position is important. If there is hyperplasia in the prostate, that is, the prostate cells become more, so the urethra will be squeezed and deformed, resulting in poor urination, light urination is laborious, the urine line becomes thin, and even intermittent drip. Normal people urinate about eight times a day, and people with prostate hyperplasia can urinate 20 times or more. There is also urgency of urination, which can't be controlled soon after urination. As for nocturia, more than one time after the age of 50 is considered sick. If you often wake up twice, you need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
50 years old, a watershed for men
After the age of 50, men have more prostate problems. Prostatic hyperplasia often occurs in men over 50 years old. About 40% of men over 50 years old will have symptoms of urinary system caused by prostatic hyperplasia; About 75% of men over the age of 70 will have such symptoms. Patients with moderate to severe symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia can cause acute and chronic urinary retention, complicated with urinary infection, bladder stones, hematuria, affecting sexual function, leading to hydronephrosis, even renal failure, uremia. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly men over 50 years old should go to regular hospitals for risk screening of prostate hyperplasia every year. Once confirmed, standardized treatment should be carried out to delay the progress of the disease and prevent serious complications in the long term.
"Slimming" suggestion: reducing symptoms is the key
At present, 80% - 90% of BPH can be solved with drugs! Even if the effect is poor, there are also minimally invasive treatment methods through the urethra, basically without surgery.
Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia should remember that "do not use traumatic therapy because of their eagerness to treat diseases!". Because traumatic therapy will cause new damage to the gland tissue that has already been damaged, and destroy the blood vessels and nerve tissue inside the gland. It will not only aggravate the disease, but also cause inflammation and other complications. At present, in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, the medical profession advocates more green traditional Chinese medicine. However, it is difficult for drugs to enter the gland and reach effective concentration, so they can only achieve the effect of relieving symptoms.
