According to statistics, the incidence of benign prostatic hyperplasia of 60 -year -old men in my country can reach more than 50%, as high as 83%at the age of 80.At present, the exact cause of the disease is not clear.
At the age of 20, at the age of 50, the volume of the prostate was relatively stable. After 50 years of age, the volume of the prostate began to increase.When an increased prostate causes bladder export obstruction and a series of unreasonable urination -related unreasonable, it may develop into benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Pay attention to urine incontinence and endless urination
The symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia are mainly divided into symptoms of urine storage and symptoms of urination."Symptoms of urine storage" refers to the symptoms related to the storage of urine in the bladder due to the benign prostatic hyperplasia, such as: urgency, even urinary incontinence that cannot be effectively suffered for a long time;The frequency of urine is the main manifestation."Symptoms of Urine" refers to symptoms related to the discharge of urine from the bladder due to the benign prostatic hyperplasia, such as: urination and urination time extended by urine cannot be discharged immediately;Later drops and urination are endless; even urination can not occur, and urine retention occurs.
With the increase of age, if not treated, the above discomfort will gradually increase, the bladder's urine muscles gradually become hypertrophic, the bladder beams, small rooms and diverticulum formation; and repeated urinary tract infections, bladder stones formation; even cause kidney accumulation of kidney accumulationWater, kidney damage and renal failure.
Treatment cannot be pursued immediately
The treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia mainly includes observing changes in condition, drugs and surgical treatment.For patients with mild symptoms and have no complications, they can closely observe changes in the condition and pay attention to living.The therapeutic drugs for benign prostatic hyperplasia include: 5 & alpha; reducing enzyme inhibitors, & alpha; receptor blockers, botanical medicines and Chinese medicine.5 & alpha; restorease inhibitor By narrowing the volume of prostate, improving urination difficulties, and preventing acute urinary retention and related surgical risks caused by increasing volume.& alpha; receptor blockers can quickly relax the smoothing muscles of the urethra and relieve difficulty urinating.Botanical medicines and proprietary Chinese medicines also have certain effects on some patients.
Prostate hyperplasia, like hypertension, diabetes, etc., is a slow progressive disease, and its treatment is a long -term process.Only long -term medication can delay the progress of the disease and reduce the danger of the occurrence of complications. Patients must be patient and cannot pursue the immediate effect.
Pay attention to four o'clock and protect the prostate
In addition to going to the hospital for medical treatment and drug treatment, timely adjusting lifestyle is also essential in the treatment process.
Drink water in time not to urinate, reducing the burden on the prostate.
In order to avoid pain in urination, some patients often deliberately reduce their drinking water.This is easy to cause urine concentration and urine retention, which is not good for prostatic hyperplasia.
The correct approach should be to master the time of drinking water. Drinking the water must ensure 1500 & mdash; 2000 ml per day, but try to put a large amount of drinking time a day in the morning and morning, go to bed before dinner, try to drink less water or not drink water, you can avoid you to avoidAt night, the burden of the prostate frequently at night.
In addition, keep in mind that you do not urinate. Urine can cause excessive filling of the bladder. At the same time, it will weaken the tension of the bladder to force urine muscle tension, resulting in difficulty urination, and it is easy to induce acute urinary retention. Therefore, you must have urine.After urination, walk for a few minutes to allow the bladder to recover from the state of filling, and immediately sit down and easily squeeze the prostate.
Do not drink a light diet to avoid stimulating the prostate.
Try to avoid drinking or drinking alcohol as much as possible, because liquor will cause the prostate and bladder neck and edema to induce urine retention; and the intake of spicy and irritating foods such as pepper and curry will cause repeated congestion of the perineum, and thenIt will increase the symptoms of hemorrhoids and such as hemorrhoids, and these will compress the prostate body and increase difficulty in urination.Therefore, the elderly who have the problem of prostate hyperplasia, it is best to choose a light diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, coarse grains, various melon seeds and honey, drink less coffee, eat less acidic foods such as citrusflour.Eat less foods such as beef and mutton, seafood, to reduce the occurrence of constipation, thereby reducing the chance of repeated congestion in the perineum, and reducing the risk of prostate health.
Ride a bicycle and exercise with options.
Studies have shown that obesity has an impact on the occurrence of prostatic hyperplasia.The European and American human weight index is large, and the proportion of prostate hyperplasia is much higher than Asians.Therefore, it is also good for exercise and reducing weight to maintain the prostate.
However, the elderly with prostate hyperplasia must also have a choice to exercise: the first slowing away, slow walking has great benefits to promoting the blood circulation of the prostate, and at the same time, it is a more eased exercise method.The perineum; in addition, you can choose to swim and climb the mountain, which is the same.
It is important to note that it is necessary to ride less or avoid cycling, because when riding a bicycle, the car seat just presses people's perineum, and constantly rubbing will have a great impact on the prostate.There was a patient once caused prostate bleeding because riding a bicycle, and the consequences were serious.
Avoid sitting for a long time, self -massage is also critical.
In life, you must avoid sitting for a long time. Sitting for a long time will increase hemorrhoids and other diseases.It is best to stand up every hour to move once.
In addition, you can do self -massage before lunch break and before going to bed. The operation is as follows: take the supine position, straighten your left foot, place your left hand on the Shenxian acupoint (navel), rotate with the middle finger, index finger, and ring finger.The right hand three fingers were placed in the perineum acupoint rotation and massage, a total of 100 times.After completing the same movement, the same movement.Massage Shenxiong acupoint is conducive to the recovery of the bladder.After urinating, a little massage can promote bladder empty and reduce residual urine volume; perineal massage allows the blood circulation of the perineum to accelerate, thereby reducing the prostate burden.
