Prostate hyperplasia is a male disease that often occurs on elderly men, especially now the degree of aging has increased, and the incidence rate is increasing.So do you know what causes of prostate hyperplasia?Today, I will introduce the relevant knowledge of prostate hyperplasia. Come and take a look!
What is prostate hyperplasia
Prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the common diseases of middle -aged and elderly men, and it has increased as the elderly in the world's elderly.The incidence of prostate hyperplasia is increasing with age, but there may not be clinical symptoms when there is an increased disease.The incidence of cities and towns is higher than the countryside, and racial differences also affect the degree of hyperplasia.
Prostate hyperplasia is clinically manifested in frequent urination, urgency, increased urination, and labor -intensive effort, which has a serious impact on the quality of life of elderly men. Therefore, active treatment is needed, and some patients even need surgery.
The lesion originated from the glandular tissue, connective tissue and smooth muscle tissue under the middle or side lobe under the posterior urethral mucosa to form a mixed spherical nodule.The proliferation of the two sides and the middle lobe is obvious, and the bladder or urethra is accepted to compress the neck or urethra of the bladder, causing the lower urinary tract obstruction.The long -term lesions can cause renal water and renal damage, and can also cause stones, infections, tumors, etc.
When prostate hyperplasia causes obstruction, the bladder is thickened, and small beams, small rooms and diverticulums appear in the mucous membrane.Long -term difficulty in urination makes the bladder height expand, the bladder wall becomes thinner, the internal pressure of the bladder increases, the end of the ureter is lost to its live petal effect, and the bladder ureter reflux.
Pay attention to 4 misunderstandings of prostate hyperplasia
Misunderstanding 1: hyperplasia must be treated
Prostate hyperplasia is not necessarily sick.Some middle -aged and elderly friends with prostate hyperplasia have no discomfort in their lives. This is because the prostate is proliferated outward. This situation does not cause compression of the urethra and does not need to be treated.Patients with urinary disorders should take reasonable treatment measures according to the size of the hyperplasia and the severe symptoms.
Misunderstanding 2: The greater the hyperplasia, the heavier the disease
Some patients found that their prostate hyperplasia was particularly serious after examination, and they were anxious.In fact, the size of the prostate hyperplasia has nothing to do with the severity of the disease.As long as the prostate tissue of hyperplasia does not cause compression of the urethra, no matter how large the hyperplasia is large, there is no need to treat it.
Misunderstanding 3: Surgery will cause
There are many ways to treat prostate hyperplasia. Among them, the side effects of laser therapy are small, and prostatic electrophoresis is often incomplete because it is difficult to operate.Surgical treatment of prostate hyperplasia will have a certain impact on the sexual function of patients, but it does not cause sexual dysfunction.Because surgical treatment is partially removed by the prostate and the prostate secreted by prostate is the main component of semen, the sexual life of patients can be carried out normally after surgery, but it may occur.
Misunderstanding 4: hyperplasia can lead to prostate cancer
There is no evidence that prostate hyperplasia can lead to prostate cancer.The prostate includes two parts: prostate film and prostate. Prostate hyperplasia occurs in the prostate, and prostate cancer occurs on the prostate envelope. The two are not directly related.
