Prostate disease is a very common but troublesome and stubborn disease among andrology diseases. After suffering from prostate disease, many male patients often dare not go to the hospital because of their shyness. Because prostate disease is a disease of sexual organs, it causes delay in the disease. According to statistics, about 90% of men in the world will suffer from prostatitis.
Can prostate hypertrophy (hyperplasia) develop into prostate cancer?
Prostate hypertrophy has nothing to do with prostate cancer. As long as a normal man is old enough, he will suffer from prostate hypertrophy, which is a characteristic of aging. Some of the patients with prostate hypertrophy may develop prostate cancer, but there is no correlation between the two. It is not said that one disease will increase the risk of another. Some patients with prostate cancer have no symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia in the early stage.
How to prevent the high incidence of prostatitis?
In the outpatient department of urology, the number of cases of prostatitis ranks first. Prostatitis often occurs in young adults, and the incidence rate is very high. Someone once said that "90% of men will suffer from prostatitis in their life". In addition, many prostatitis will be accompanied by mental diseases. The most serious consequence of prostatitis is actually depression. Physical pain is part of it, and mental illness is difficult to extricate itself. People often associate prostate disease with fertility, sexual function and other aspects in their subjective consciousness, which will cause many psychological discomfort.
The clinical manifestations of prostatitis are varied. For example, patients may have pain and discomfort in the perineum, suprapubic region, groin region and genitals; There may also be burning sensation during urination, urgency of urination, frequent urination, pain in urination and other urethral symptoms, accompanied by hematuria at the end of urination or purulent secretion of the urethra; In case of acute infection, it may be accompanied by systemic symptoms such as chills, fever and fatigue.
Although prostatitis is not a direct life-threatening disease, it will seriously affect the quality of life of patients. The current understanding of prostatitis is that it is not a simple disease, but a group of diseases that occur in different forms or syndromes. These syndromes have their own independent causes, clinical manifestations and results. Therefore, the specific diagnosis of prostatitis is likely to be different under different circumstances, and the treatment methods are also different from person to person.
The occurrence of prostatitis is often associated with bad living habits. There are many types of prostatitis, some of which are related to infection, and some of which can't find infection factors. These prostatitis are often related to some bad living habits. Frequent drinking, eating spicy food, often staying up late and working abnormally, and so on, can cause chronic inflammatory changes in some tissues of the prostate and pelvis. Inflammation change and infection change are two concepts. Infection must be pathogenic bacteria or viruses. Inflammation is not infection, but changes in some local tissues. For example, a person accidentally bumped when walking, and his leg was swollen. It was only the change of inflammation after local injury, and there was no infection.
Is there any symptom in the early stage of prostate cancer?
Prostate cancer has no specific early symptoms, which are usually covered up in the symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia. Generally, as long as the symptoms of prostate cancer appear, it has reached the advanced stage. So when there are no symptoms, men should do some routine tests to find or eliminate prostate cancer. Prostate cancer has a very good early detection method. This tumor indicator can be tested through blood extraction, which is very convenient.
Lycopene can fight prostate cancer, so can eating some health products or tomatoes prevent prostate cancer?
Now many foods have some health effects on cancer. But this view is at the level of popular science, and there is no such conclusion at the scientific level of more rigorous and controllable promotion, so it is unnecessary for us to pursue these health products deliberately. If you have it at home, you can eat some, but it is not a very effective way to prevent prostate cancer. The key is to form a good living habit.
