Prostate diseases are listed as one of the top ten human symptoms in the 20th century with the performance of "high incidence, difficult cure, recurrent attacks, and obvious diseases".World Medical Experts predict that in the 21st century, male prostate diseases will become the third largest killer to harm human health after cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer.Urology experts introduced the international prostate symptom score standards established by the World Health Organization in the 4th National Nise and Prostate Education Health Education Project.
Experts have modified this standard so that patients can test themselves.This test requires 7 questions in middle -aged and elderly men to determine the severity of the symptoms.These 7 self -test score standards are:
In the last month, "After the urine is exhausted, what is the frequency of not being completely emptied?" "What is the frequency that you have to urinate again within 2 hours?"What is the frequency of terminating and restarting? "" What are the frequency of difficulty in delaying urination time when you find that you can't delay the urination time? "" What is the frequency of weak urine flow? "The situation of "less than half", "about half", "more than half", "almost always always", etc., determine the score from "0" to "5".In the last month, what is the frequency of urination by pressing or tightly to urinate by pressing or tightly? "According to the situation such as "never", "once", "2 times", "3 times", "4 times", "5 times", determine the score from "0" to "5".
Chen Shan, director of urology, said that 0 to 7 points are mild symptoms, 8 to 19 points are moderate symptoms, 20 to 35 points into severe symptoms.It is generally believed that mild symptoms only need to be followed up, while moderate symptoms and severe symptoms require drug treatment and surgery, respectively.However, if any of the 7 issues score more than 3 points, even if the total score is not high, it is necessary to consider the appropriate treatment plan.According to experts, benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common urological disease of men over 50 years old. If not treated in time, it will cause many serious complications, such as acute urinary retention and stones.The incidence of benign prostatic hyperplasia gradually increases with the increase of age. The incidence of male 40 to 79 years old is about 50%, and the incidence of more than 80 years old is as high as 83%.
