Prostate hypertrophy, also known as prostate hyperplasia, is a common male urinary system disease.It is caused by increased prostate volume due to prostate hyperplasia.Prostate hypertrophy may cause symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty in urination, and may even cause complications such as urinary retention.In this article, we will introduce the treatment of prostate hypertrophy.
How to treat prostate hypertrophy
1. Observation and monitoring
For mild prostate hypertrophy, doctors may recommend patients to observe and monitor.This is usually suitable for patients with no obvious symptoms or milder symptoms.Doctors will regularly check the size and symptoms of the prostate. If the condition is stable and the symptoms are not serious, it may not require active treatment, but regular follow -up is necessary.
2. Drug treatment
Drug treatment is a common method for prostate hypertrophy.Among them, & alpha; 1-adrenaline receptor blockers are widely used.Such drugs can relax the smooth muscles of the prostate and the neck of the bladder, reduce the pressure of the urethra, thereby improving urine flow and reducing symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency.In addition, 5 & alpha; -the reduced enzyme inhibitors can reduce the level of testosterone, thereby reducing prostate hyperplasia.These drugs are used under the guidance of doctors and need to be regularly monitored and treated with side effects.
3. Minimally invasive therapy
For patients with severe symptoms or invalid drug treatment, minimally invasive treatment may be a choice.Minimally invasive therapy includes adenomycidomy and laser therapy through the urethral prostate.These methods are removed or evaporated by the prostate tissue to reduce urethral pressure and relieve urinary tract symptoms.Compared with traditional open surgery, minimally invasive treatment has less trauma and faster recovery, but it also needs to pay attention to postoperative complications and therapeutic effects.
4. Open surgery
For patients with severe prostate hypertrophy or complications, open surgery may be performed.Prostate open surgery (such as traditional prostate dehuminating) can completely remove prostate tissue of hyperplasia, reduce urethral pressure, and relieve urinary tract symptoms.Open surgery is generally performed after the doctor's physical condition is comprehensively considering the patient's physical condition, and recovery and rehabilitation need to be performed after surgery.
5. Radiation treatment
For some elderly patients or patients with other health problems, radiation therapy may be a choice.Radiation therapy can relieve the symptoms of urinary tract by irradiation of the prostate tissue, but it may take a long time to achieve results, and there may be some side effects.
in conclusion
Prostate hypertrophy is a common male urinary system disease. The treatment method can be different due to the severity of the disease and the patient's condition.Patients with mild symptoms or no obvious symptoms can be observed and monitored.Drug treatment is a commonly used treatment method that can relieve the symptoms of urinary tract.For patients with severe symptoms or invalid drug treatment, minimally invasive treatment or open surgery may be required.Radiation therapy can be used as an alternative option.Patients should choose the treatment method that suits them according to the doctor's advice and guidance, and conduct regular follow -up and examination to ensure that the disease is effectively controlled and managed.
