Prostate syndrome refers to a series of symptoms and pathological changes caused by obstruction of the lower urinary tract caused by various diseases of the prostate. Whether it's prostate hyperplasia, prostate tumors, prostate stones, or even prostatitis.
Prostate syndrome can be caused as long as it can compress the urethra and cause obstruction at the bladder outlet. The pathological changes include: bladder dilatation, wall thinning, significantly reduced contractility, and the formation of many "trabeculae" in the inner wall of the bladder; The bladder wall protrudes outward to form a diverticulum due to increased bladder internal pressure; Formation of stones in the bladder; Increased bladder pressure causes urine to flow back to the ureter, causing hydronephrosis in the ureter and kidneys; The urinary system is repeatedly infected due to "obstructed sewers", resulting in impaired renal function, leading to renal failure - uremia.
At the same time, patients with prostate syndrome may exhibit symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, weakness, difficulty in urination, interruption of urination, hematuria, low back pain, and edema, nausea, and vomiting.
The occurrence of prostate syndrome is relatively insidious. "It develops slowly and is not as evident as bladder stones, diverticula, or hydronephrosis, which may be present simultaneously.". Easy to detect and receive appropriate treatment. "Patients themselves, and sometimes even doctors, may overlook the importance of prostate disease. As a result, it is too late to discover prostate lesions until it is very difficult to urinate, and even until uremia occurs, it is too late to think that the culprit is an enlarged prostate.".
Therefore, when various diseases such as inflammation and stones occur in the urinary system, attention should be paid to whether they are related to the prostate. Especially for middle-aged and elderly men over the age of 40, regular prostate examinations should be conducted to detect prostate diseases in a timely manner, and early treatment should be given to avoid adverse consequences.
