Prostatic hyperplasia is relatively common among middle-aged and elderly people, and it is more likely to develop if they do not pay attention to protection during normal times. Prostatic hyperplasia is a common prostate disease. Let's take a look at the five major risk signs of prostate hyperplasia.
Five major signals of benign prostatic hyperplasia
1. Increased frequency of urination
No matter during the day or at night, the frequency of urination is much higher than usual, far exceeding the normal situation of 3 to 4 times during the day and 1 to 2 times at night. The interval between urination is short and there is a constant urge to urinate.
2. Hesitation in urination
When you feel the urge to urinate, you have to stand in the toilet and wait for a while before urination comes slowly. The urine flow is fine, the discharge is weak, and the range is not far. Sometimes it drips down like a thread from the urethral orifice. As the saying goes, "When people get old and their kidneys fail, urine occurs and wet their shoes." This is actually one of the manifestations of prostate hyperplasia.
3. Night urinary incontinence
When sleeping at night, urine flows out uncontrollably, even in the daytime.
4. Interruption of urination
After benign prostatic hyperplasia, crystals in the urine can easily agglomerate to form bladder stones, causing sudden interruption of urination. Interruption of urination and the presence of bladder stones in the elderly are strong "signals" of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
5. Hyperlibido
Patients may exhibit increased libido at an early stage that is not consistent with their age, or their libido may suddenly become intense after a consistent period of inactivity. This is often due to hyperplasia of the prostate, which leads to dysfunction of the prostate and feedback to temporary enhancement of testicular function.
How to effectively prevent prostate hyperplasia
1. Avoid squeezing
The position of the prostate is between the bladder and the urethral septum, with the pubic bone that forms the pelvis blocking it in the front and the rectum pressing against it in the back. Therefore, the anatomical position of the prostate is relatively fixed. Some patients' lifestyle can cause compression of the prostate, such as riding a bicycle, where a stiff seat presses against the prostate through the perineum. Especially when riding on bumpy roads for a long time, it can cause congestion and edema of the prostate.
2. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy food
"The prostate is a very sensitive organ to tobacco, alcohol, and spicy food. After drinking alcohol, patients with BPH have rapid blood circulation throughout the body, and their nerves are excited. The prostate can become congested, cellular edema, and the urethra is compressed.".
3. Pay attention to keeping warm
After the prostate is cold, it will appear hyperemia, congestion, and stagnation of qi and blood, which can induce aseptic prostatitis and worsen prostate hyperplasia. Therefore, patients should pay attention to keeping warm and not sitting on cold ground or stones.
4. Pay attention to personal hygiene
The distance between the male prostate and the urethral orifice is only 10-12 centimeters. Pathogenic bacteria such as bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, chlamydia, and mold infected by the urethral orifice can retrograde along the urethra to the prostate and cause infection.
5. Eat less meat food
Eating too much meat and acidic foods (such as egg yolks, cheese, desserts, tuna, halibut, etc.) can cause an acidic constitution and predispose to multiple diseases.
6. Regularity in life
Do not overwork, do not stay up late, have a regular life, live regularly, prevent colds, colds, overwork can easily lead to low immune function, easy to cause recurrent attacks of prostate disease.
7. Check the prostate on time
When patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia suffer from prostatitis, they may experience blockage of the acini and small ducts of the glands, resulting in poor excretion of prostate fluid and inflammatory secretions. These secretions accumulate inside the prostate for a long time, which can centrally aggravate benign prostatic hyperplasia. So go to the hospital for cleaning and inspection on time.
Prevention of prostate hyperplasia is extremely urgent for men, as it is estimated that hundreds of patients suffer from prostate hyperplasia every day. Recognizing these precautions can effectively prevent prostate hyperplasia diseases. Why not!
