Suffering from prostate hyperplasia often affects the life of patients, especially in terms of urination, which can cause urination disorders, such as frequent urination and urgency. As the disease progresses, it can also damage organs near the prostate, causing other complications, and causing harm to patients. Specifically, what harm can prostate hyperplasia cause? To understand.
What harm can prostate hyperplasia cause?
Seminal vesiculitis
Prostate gland and seminal vesicle are closely connected, and it is easy to induce other diseases without paying attention to treatment. Once suffering from prostatitis, it is very easy to develop seminal vesiculitis, leading to pain in blood semen and ejaculation.
Causes urinary system infection
"With prostate hyperplasia, there is an inability to discharge all toxic substances in the urine, which can easily lead to cystitis and other inflammation.".
Triggering prostatitis
"Suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia can lead to obstruction of the urethra and glandular ducts in patients, and the abnormal discharge of prostate fluid, resulting in the occurrence of prostatitis.".
Bladder stones in the elderly are also associated with prostate hyperplasia
When the urinary tract is unobstructed, stones generally do not grow in the bladder. Even if a stone falls from the ureter into the bladder, it can be excreted with urine. Elderly people with prostate hyperplasia are different.
Prostatic hyperplasia can lead to kidney damage and even uremia
This is because the hyperplasia of the prostate presses against the urethra, and the bladder needs to contract vigorously to overcome resistance and expel urine from the body. Over time, bladder muscles become thickened. If the pressure of the bladder cannot be relieved for a long time, and the residual urine in the bladder gradually increases, the bladder muscles will become ischemic and hypoxic, becoming tensionless, and the bladder cavity will expand. Finally, the urine in the bladder will pour back into the ureter and pelvis, causing hydronephrosis, and in severe cases, uremia.
Prostatic hyperplasia may induce diseases such as hernia in the elderly
Some patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia may have difficulty urinating, requiring exertion and breathlessness to urinate. Due to frequent exertion, the intestines will protrude from weak areas of the abdomen, forming a hernia (small intestine gas). Sometimes patients may also develop hemorrhoids and varicose veins in their lower limbs.
To sum up, the introduction is about the dangers of benign prostatic hyperplasia. I hope that the above introduction can attract more attention from patients. Everyone must pay attention to maintaining their own body in life, regularly perform some examinations, and timely treatment can be provided if the condition is found.
