What does the expression of prostatic hyperplasia not include? How to treat prostatic hyperplasia

Prostatic hyperplasia is a male disease, which often occurs in elderly men, especially with the increase of aging, the incidence rate is getting higher and higher. Do you know the cause of prostatic hyperplasia? Today's editor introduces the knowledge of prostatic hyperplasia. Come and have a look!

What is prostatic hyperplasia

Prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the common diseases of middle-aged and elderly men, and the incidence of BPH increases with the aging of the world population. The incidence rate of BPH increases with age, but there may not be clinical symptoms when there are hyperplastic lesions. The urban incidence rate is higher than that of rural areas, and ethnic differences also affect the degree of proliferation.

The clinical manifestations of BPH are frequent urination, urgent urination, increased nocturnal urination and laborious urination, which seriously affect the quality of life of elderly men. Therefore, active treatment is needed, and some patients even need surgical treatment.

The lesion originated from the mixed spherical nodule formed by the gland tissue, connective tissue and smooth muscle tissue in the middle or lateral lobe of the submucous posterior urethra. The bilateral lobes and middle lobes proliferate significantly, protrude into the bladder and urethra, compress the bladder neck and urethra, and cause lower urinary tract obstruction. Long-term pathological changes can cause hydronephrosis and renal function damage, with stones, infections, tumors, etc.

When prostate hyperplasia causes obstruction, the bladder thickens the urinary muscle, and the mucosa appears trabeculae, chambers and rest rooms. Long-term dysuria makes the bladder highly dilated, the bladder wall thinned, the bladder internal pressure increased, and the end of the ureter lost its valve function, resulting in vesicoureteral reflux.

Four misunderstandings should be paid attention to in benign prostatic hyperplasia

Misunderstanding 1: Hyperplasia must be treated

Prostatic hyperplasia is not necessarily a disease. Among the middle-aged and elderly friends with benign prostatic hyperplasia, the prostate hyperplasia outwards, does not oppress the urethra, and does not need treatment. Patients with dysuria usually take reasonable treatment measures according to the size and symptoms of hyperplasia.

Mistake 2: The greater the proliferation, the more serious the disease

Some patients found that prostate hyperplasia was particularly serious after examination, and they were very worried. In fact, the size of BPH has nothing to do with the severity of the disease. As long as the hyperplasia of prostate tissue does not oppress the urethra, even if the hyperplasia is larger, it does not need treatment.

Myth 3: dysfunction caused by surgery

There are many ways to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia by surgery, among which the side effects of laser therapy are small, the operation of prostatectomy is difficult, the resection is not complete, and the recurrence is easy after surgery. Surgical treatment of BPH will have a certain impact on the sexual function of patients, but it will not cause sexual dysfunction. Because the surgical treatment is to partially remove the prostate, and the prostatic secretion is the main component of semen, so the sexual life of patients after surgery can be normal, but may appear azoospermia.
