What irritant symptoms can prostate hyperplasia cause
Urination frequency
The number of urination is related to the amount of drinking water, so it is not easy to judge whether the number of urination in the daytime is increased or decreased. The number of urination at night in normal people is mostly 0 or 1, while the number of urination at night in patients with BPH will increase significantly, even up to ten times, which can seriously affect the sleep of patients. It should be noted that the so-called number of urination refers to the number of times to get up due to the need to urinate after falling asleep at night and before waking up the next morning, excluding the two urinations before going to bed and after waking up the next day.
Urgency of urination
Urgent urination is also a symptom of urethral irritation, that is, urination should be carried out immediately once urination occurs, and urine cannot be held, urination must be carried out immediately and cannot be controlled.
Urgent urinary incontinence
Urgent incontinence is also an irritant symptom. It means that the patient must urinate immediately after the patient has urination intention. If it is a little slower, the urine will be discharged involuntarily, and the pants will be wet.
A large prostate does not necessarily mean prostatic hyperplasia
Every year, Lao Wang and his wife will have a general physical examination, including male and female examinations. This year, Lao Wang found that his prostate was a little large during the B-ultrasound examination of the urinary system. Isn't he suffering from prostatic hyperplasia?
Prostate hypertrophy is not necessarily prostatic hyperplasia. Prostatic hyperplasia is a pathological term characterized by hyperplasia of prostatic interstitial and epithelial cells. Histological prostatic hyperplasia can only be seen as hyperplasia under the microscope without causing changes in prostate volume. For some other diseases of the prostate, such as acute bacterial prostatitis, due to the congestion and edema of the prostate tube and its surrounding interstitial tissue, and the expansion of the prostate tubules and acini, the swelling and enlargement of the prostate can be found in clinical rectal digital examination or B-ultrasound examination, but the enlargement of the prostate volume is not caused by the hyperplasia of the prostatic interstitial and epithelial cells, so it is not prostatic hyperplasia.
In addition, because of individual differences, just as everyone is different in height, fat and thin, the size of male prostate is also different. The size of the prostate cannot be viewed mechanically. We must treat the size of the prostate in a comprehensive way based on age, whether it affects the body, whether there are other diseases and other factors. We cannot simply think that the large size of the prostate is prostatic hyperplasia.
Some middle-aged and young men found that the prostate volume was large in B-ultrasound examination during physical examination, which was considered to be prostatic hyperplasia and very nervous. This is a typical misunderstanding. For middle-aged and young men, the size of prostate volume is meaningless.
