Frequency of urination: Do you sleep well after running to the toilet seven or eight times a night?
Urgent urination: If you want to urinate, you have to run to the toilet quickly?
Can't urinate all the time: can't you urinate all the time?
Wait for urination: hold your breath, and come out hard?
Urodynia: It hurts when you urinate. Don't you dare to urinate?
Hematuria: urine is light red, blood in urine?
Many men obviously feel that these symptoms will appear on themselves more or less after entering the middle and old age. Why is this? This is because there is something wrong with the prostate, the unique physiological organ of men.
The prostate is the largest gland in men and plays an important role in the physiological function of men. With the increase of the incidence rate of prostate diseases, we should strengthen our understanding of this disease. What is the difference between prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia?
What are prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia?
1. Prostatitis: mainly refers to the pain or discomfort in the pelvic region, abnormal urination (frequent urination, urgency of urination), sexual dysfunction and other clinical manifestations caused by the infection of pathogenic bacteria or stimulation of some non-infective factors in the prostate.
prostatitis
Main symptoms:
Pain: It is mainly manifested as pain or discomfort in the bladder area, pubic bone area or perineal area of the lower abdomen of prostatitis patients. Some patients are manifested as suffocation, and others are manifested as testicular discomfort or pain. Frequent urination, urgency of urination, burning pain of urethra, dripping urine and purulent urethral secretion also occur.
Sexual dysfunction: different prostatitis patients will have different degrees of sexual dysfunction and sexual dysfunction.
General discomfort: generally, it is manifested as sudden fever, chills, fatigue, anorexia, nausea and vomiting. When the disease occurs suddenly, the general symptoms can cover up the local symptoms.
2. Prostatic hyperplasia: the pathological manifestation is cell hyperplasia, which is the most common benign disease among the causes of dysuria in male elderly.
Prostatic hyperplasia
Main symptoms:
Frequency of urination: Generally speaking, the number of nocturnal urination is often parallel to the severity of prostatic hyperplasia. The old people who didn't get up at night often urinate 1-2 times at night, often reflecting the onset of early obstruction. If it is more than three times, it is recommended that you go for an examination to confirm the diagnosis.
Urinary retention: For patients with severe prostatic hyperplasia in the late stage, acute urinary retention may occur due to the inability to excrete urine due to cold, drinking, holding urine for a long time or infection.
Hematuria: blood vessels on the mucosal surface dilate or even rupture, causing hemorrhage, which is manifested as hematuria.
Causes of prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia
1. There are many reasons for the younger trend of prostatitis patients. First, the middle-aged and young people are at the peak of male sexual function, which can easily lead to repeated hyperemia of the prostate and inflammation under the stimulation of sexual excitement; Secondly, bacterial infection, chlamydia (chlamydia) infection, overwork, fatigue, anxiety and tension, sedentary, excessive drinking, smoking, spicy overeating, excessive libido and so on can lead to chronic congestion of the prostate and cause the occurrence of prostatitis.
2. Prostatic hyperplasia, also known as prostatic hypertrophy, is a disease of elderly men. With the growth of age, the incidence rate of prostatic hyperplasia gradually increases. Its pathological changes are mainly prostatic tissue and epithelial hyperplasia, so it is called prostatic hyperplasia.
What are the hazards of prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia?
Prostatitis is a common chronic disease caused by a variety of complex causes and inducements. Clinically, it can be manifested as dull pain in the lower abdomen and testis, abnormal urination and sexual dysfunction, etc. Many patients with BPH can be complicated with chronic prostatitis and need to be treated at the same time. Prostate diseases can cause fertility decline, sexual function decline, chronic nephritis, uremia, urinary tract discomfort, and many complications, which seriously affect male health.
