Judging the severity of prostatic hyperplasia can not only look at symptoms
How to judge the severity of prostatic hyperplasia? The size of the prostate is one aspect of judging the severity of the disease, but it is not the only standard. Some people find that the prostate is large and has hyperplasia during physical examination, but there are no symptoms. This situation does not necessarily need treatment. The key is to see whether it has affected the life of patients and harmed their health.
Experts pointed out that the patient's symptoms are a major aspect of judging the severity of the disease. The early symptoms of patients often manifested as frequent urination, especially increased frequency of nocturnal urination; You have to urinate before you reach the toilet; Difficulty in urination, poor urination, fine urine rheology, and other symptoms can be mild or severe, depending on individual tolerance. In general, severe symptoms indicate severe illness, while mild symptoms indicate mild illness. Complete inability to urinate is sexual retention.
However, symptoms alone are not the whole basis for judging the severity of the disease, and the results of the doctor's examination are also important for judging the severity of the disease. The most commonly used examination method is B-ultrasound. It can understand the size and shape of the prostate, which is more accurate than the doctor's method of digital rectal examination. It can also indicate whether there are other diseases in the kidney and bladder. Prostatic hyperplasia with hydronephrosis indicates a serious condition. B-ultrasound is very convenient and reliable to measure residual urine. A large amount of residual urine indicates a serious illness. Urinary flow rate measurement is a detection method introduced in recent years. The maximum urine flow rate of normal people is generally not less than 20 milliliters per second. It is normal for the elderly to have more than 15 milliliters per second. If it is less than 10 milliliters per second, it means that the disease is serious.
Treatment of prostatic hyperplasia cannot rely solely on drugs
Experts pointed out that, in general, judging the severity of BPH depends not only on symptoms, but also on the findings of doctors during examination. So for the treatment of BPH, many patients have used multiple drugs, and still can't cure for a long time. Therefore, the treatment of BPH can not rely on drugs alone, but needs comprehensive treatment to improve the symptoms.
Drug therapy is important, but relying solely on drug therapy and ignoring the role of other therapies in the treatment of BPH often fails to achieve good therapeutic effect.
In addition, we should also pay attention to life care: ⑴ Keep optimistic mood, adhere to physical exercise, and reduce local blood stasis. ⑵ Don't hold your urine, and urinate immediately if you feel like urinating Keep the stool unobstructed It is not advisable to sit for a long time or ride a bicycle for a long time, so as to prevent the blood flow in the prostate. (5) Sex should not be too frequent Wear warm clothes to avoid catching cold Avoid taking atropine and other drugs to avoid acute urinary retention.
Dietary therapy is also very important: ⑴ Pay attention to eating less sweet, sour and spicy food, more vegetables, soybean products and coarse grains, and a proper amount of eggs, beef, seed foods such as walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc. ⑵ If the bladder is hot and the urethra is painful, you can drink mung bean soup or eat mung bean Congee.
