The etiology of hematuria caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia Many patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia have clinical manifestations of hematuria, so how is this going on?
Causes of hematuria caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia
1. "The blood vessels in the hyperplastic prostate can also increase, especially in a type of hyperplasia that is pathologically classified as interstitial type, characterized by a large proliferation of fibrous tissue and blood vessels. The hyperplastic tissue also protrudes into the urethral lumen, with a high and strong chance of being impacted by urine.". Due to the hyperplasia of the prostate gland, patients cannot urinate smoothly. Excessive urination force or sudden local decompression after urination can easily lead to rupture of rich blood vessels in the hyperplasia of the prostate gland, causing hematuria.
2. In addition, the pressure of prostatic hyperplasia on the urethra can also be combined with other lesions of the urinary tract, such as inflammation of the urethra and bladder, bladder stones, and bladder diverticulum. These lesions can also cause hematuria.
3. Generally speaking, the hematuria caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia is mostly not too serious, and most can be stopped without drugs. If other causes such as tumors are excluded through relevant examinations, there is no need to worry too much.
4. The most fundamental treatment for bleeding caused by BPH is to cure BPH. In addition, it is also necessary to avoid excessive force during urination. There is evidence that about 15 to 1% of patients with prostate hyperplasia are diagnosed due to hematuria, indicating that hematuria in elderly men is often an early signal of prostate hyperplasia.
The most common cause of hematuria is benign lesions such as cystitis, urinary tract stones, and tuberculosis. Of course, special attention should also be paid to urinary system tumors.
