With the enhancement of health awareness, physical examination has become more and more common, and many men have begun to pay attention to their prostate health. Therefore, prostate examination has become a necessary item for many male physical examinations. After receiving the results of the physical examination, some men may find that the physical examination report says, "The prostate gland is enlarged." Seeing these words, most of them will have some fear. Does it matter if prostate volume increases? Why do some young people also experience prostate enlargement? Let me just talk about it today.
"Enlarged prostate volume" Don't worry too much
The prostate gland is a male accessory gonad that begins to develop during puberty and tends to become hypertrophic as men age. In addition, the prostate gland is located in a special location and is located at a critical location in the urethra. Therefore, prostate problems are a health problem that plagues many men.
B-ultrasound examination is generally the first choice for prostate examination, which is cheap and accurate. "Prostate hyperplasia describes the increase in prostate gland cells, which is a pathological concept. The conditions for prostate hyperplasia to occur are aging and the presence of normal testicles.". Therefore, elderly men basically have a condition of prostate hyperplasia. Prostate hyperplasia is an objective phenomenon that does not necessarily have symptoms. Men begin to develop hyperplasia of the prostate gland after the age of 35, but most people do not develop symptoms due to prostate hyperplasia at this age. As they age, the prostate volume continues to increase, and the impact on the urethra and bladder gradually becomes significant, leading to a series of urination related symptoms, such as frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination, This can be referred to as prostatic hyperplasia.
Increased prostate volume in young people is often associated with prostatitis
In most cases, the increase in prostate volume in young people is associated with localized inflammation. Due to the influence of young people's active humanity and living habits, there are more opportunities for the occurrence of prostatitis. The prostate problems faced by young and elderly people are actually quite different. Generally speaking, the main problem afflicting young people is prostatitis, while many elderly friends have prostatitis that is actually benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostate hyperplasia with inflammation. Due to the special location of the prostate, young and elderly people can have some of the same symptoms, mainly manifested in frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination. So it's easy to confuse the two.
1. What factors can cause prostatitis?
The occurrence of prostatitis can be related to the infection of pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria. For example, in some patients, prostatitis occurs after local or systemic infection, which is related to the infection of pathogenic microorganisms.
There are also some cases where there are no clear infectious factors, and no clear evidence of infection has been found in hospital examinations. It may be due to profound "sitting skills" - a series of symptoms that occur due to prolonged sitting, which results in poor blood circulation in tissues such as the prostate, perineum, and pelvic floor, as well as tension or spasms in pelvic floor muscles, and dyskinesia.
In addition, holding urine is also a factor, which causes excessive tension in the posterior urethra and urethral sphincter. In addition to inducing symptoms such as frequent urination, it may also cause damage to bladder function.
2. Can prostatitis be cured?
As for whether prostatitis can be cured, this is probably the most concerned issue for most patients. In fact, prostatitis is not very scary, as long as the formal treatment, many people can receive very good curative effects (there are standards to follow, such as the reduction of symptoms or improvement of laboratory indicators). There are two reasons why the symptoms of some patients with prostatitis cannot be completely eliminated:
The patient has other diseases that have been misdiagnosed as prostatitis or the patient has prostatitis accompanied by other diseases with overlapping symptoms.
The patient has a long course of disease, and local symptoms have caused greater mental pressure on the patient, causing the patient to have doubts about the existence of symptoms, that is, although the body is healthy, the mental and psychological recovery has not yet been achieved.
In addition, some people have recurrent attacks of prostatitis, resulting in the idea that "prostatitis cannot be eradicated". However, in fact, prostatitis is not a disease that cannot be cured, but rather, it can be cured if it is not treated properly, if it is not treated persistently, if it is not treated properly, and if it is not paid attention to improving living habits during and after treatment, it can be cured. In short, as long as patients go to a regular hospital for regular examination and treatment, while avoiding the impact of some adverse factors, they can generally completely treat prostatitis.
