Prostatic hyperplasia is very common in elderly men, but its degree and development speed are different. Moreover, there are data indicating that this disease is becoming increasingly young. "Prostatic hyperplasia is a chronic process that can cause little sensation in early stage patients, and its impact on physical health is mostly imperceptible. However, some of the complications it causes have to be taken seriously.". The consequences and complications of BPH include:
(1) Infectious urinary obstruction is a prerequisite for infection, and it is prone to inflammation of the bladder neck, posterior urethra, and bladder.
(2) Acute urine retention.
(3) Hematuria.
(4) Bladder stones: Bladder stones are easily formed due to urinary obstruction and secondary infection.
(5) Uremia: When the degree of obstruction gradually increases, hydronephrosis and renal insufficiency are prone to occur, leading to clinical symptoms of uremia. Renal hypertension can also occur.
(6) Hemorrhoids and anal prolapse: Due to difficulty urinating and long-term increase in abdominal pressure, it is easy to cause complications such as hemorrhoids and anal prolapse.
(7) Other: When dysuria is caused by hyperplasia of the prostate, people with a history of hypertension are prone to complications such as cerebrovascular accidents and heart failure, which should be paid attention to. "When the obstruction of hyperplasia of the anterior columnar glands causes significant hydronephrosis in the kidneys and ureters, the swollen kidneys can be touched with tenderness.". When the bladder is filled, a cystic mass can be felt in the middle of the lower abdomen. Sometimes the waist mass is a perirenal inflammatory infiltration, or a perirenal swelling.
Therefore, once prostate hyperplasia is detected, it should be treated as soon as possible.
