The prostate is a unique gland for men, and due to its specificity, it is not easy to detect whether it has a disease in general. If you have ever had the experience of frequently running to the bathroom to urinate during the day at work, you can't wait to "squat" in the bathroom. When sleeping at night, I always have to get up and urinate, and I have to toss and turn seven or eight times every night, even making it difficult to sleep all night. That doesn't count. Sometimes when you think about urinating, you must go to the bathroom immediately. "If you slow down a bit, urine will" rush out of the door, "and sometimes it will be accompanied by colic in the lower abdomen and burning pain and discomfort in the urethra. At this point, you should consider whether it is a prostate lesion.". For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, stimulation symptoms often manifest earlier, especially increased nocturia, which is often the earliest manifestation of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The occurrence of urination problems in patients with prostate disease is gradual, initially manifested as irritating symptoms of the lower urinary tract: frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, and urgent urinary incontinence.
Failure to urinate
Obstructive urination problems can occur in patients with severe prostate disease: hesitant urination, laborious urination, thin urinary lines, and dripping urine. "Even if I ran to the bathroom at the speed of a" 100 meter sprint, "I was unable to urinate, and my face turned red. It took a lot of effort to squeeze urine out;"; Moreover, the "range" of discharged urine is very short, and it drips out drop by drop. If you don't pay attention, you may even wet your shoes. After standing for a long time, the urine will drip endlessly in the end. With these symptoms, it is almost certain that you have prostate disease.
As the disease continues to progress to a more severe stage, there will be some more serious manifestations. For example, when encountering some inducing factors, such as getting cold, drinking alcohol, holding urine excessively and taking some drugs, it will suddenly appear that urination cannot be discharged completely, and the urine in the bladder will accumulate more and more, which is called "acute urinary retention".
In some patients, when the urine in the bladder has exceeded the maximum capacity of the bladder itself, urine will constantly flow out of the urethra. Many patients with filling urinary incontinence mistakenly believe that urine has already been discharged, but there is still a lot of urine in the bladder, which poses continuous and more serious harm to the body.
Hematuria is another major symptom of prostate disease. Hematuria refers to the presence of blood in the urine. Some naked eyes can observe that the urine turns red, such as soy sauce, meat washing water, or even fresh blood. We call it naked eye hematuria. Although the surface color of some urine is normal, under the microscope, "horse feet" are exposed, and many red blood cells can be found, which is called microscopic hematuria.
In addition to looking for clues from "urine" during self examination of prostate diseases, there are also some other manifestations, such as vaginal discomfort (the position between the anus and scrotum), heavy bloating accompanied by radiation pain in the lumbosacral region and penis, and increased pain during defecation; Another example is urethral secretion: there is a small amount of white secretion overflowing from the urethral orifice. In the morning, the urethral orifice is adhered by the secretion, and the urethral secretion increases after urination or when the stool is forced
Because the symptoms caused by prostate disease are often not specific, which means it is difficult to distinguish prostate disease solely from symptoms. Therefore, when you experience these symptoms, you need to undergo many other tests to ultimately determine whether you really have prostate disease. It is best to seek an answer from a professional hospital as soon as possible.
"Early warning of urination problems
The male urinary system includes many organs, including the bladder, prostate, and urethra, which are directly related to the occurrence of voiding symptoms. Therefore, any of these disorders that occur during urination can affect urination, such as urethritis.
Therefore, the presence of urination symptoms does not necessarily mean that there is something wrong with the prostate. If you have symptoms related to urination, do not draw conclusions on your own, as judging by symptoms alone is highly unreliable, let alone solving them yourself. You must seek medical attention as soon as possible, because only in a hospital can you accurately diagnose what disease you have, and doctors can also provide targeted treatment based on your condition.
Experts pointed out that in the daily care of prostate diseases, first of all, it is necessary to avoid drinking a large amount of alcohol, as alcohol can stimulate muscle contraction, causing difficulty in urination, and can increase nocturnal urine; Secondly, eat less spicy food and fast food, as spicy food can cause frequent urination; In addition, we should pay attention to keeping warm at ordinary times, because cold can make nerves, blood vessels and muscles contract, so that urine in the body cannot be excreted and urine retention can be formed; Finally, don't hold your urine. Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia usually cannot urinate more. Here is a recommended urination tip: When encountering difficulties urinating, try turning on the faucet. The sound of running water can help urinate. In short, try to relax when urinating.
The treatment of male prostate diseases is often slow, but as long as we have the confidence and patience to believe that prostate diseases will still be far away from your healthy body.
