An early sign of prostatic hyperplasia
Old age is a dark period of disease, and at this age, many diseases will come to the door. Prostatic hyperplasia is a disease that often finds the elderly, because prostatic hyperplasia will compress the urethra and bladder opening, so the common clinical symptoms are generally accompanied by frequent urination, urgency, etc., and patients will seriously affect sleep if they urinate frequently at night. To understand the early symptoms and diagnosis methods of prostatic hyperplasia, so as to do a good job in the prevention and control of the disease, let's take a detailed look at it.
1. Identification and testing of residual urine volume
Because prostatic hyperplasia will compress the urethral meatus, resulting in poor urination, there will be residual urine volume in the bladder, and the degree of disease of the patient can be judged and detected by checking the residual urine volume, generally speaking, the standard value of residual urine is 10ml, which is one of the indicators to consider whether to undergo surgical treatment, so the determination of residual urine is an important diagnostic step.
2. Uroflow rate test
The function of the lower urinary tract can be indirectly measured from the change of urinary flow rate, which is very helpful for judging lesions. After understanding the early signs and diagnostic methods of prostatic hyperplasia, patients can measure urinary flow rate to determine the response to prostatic hyperplasia at initial diagnosis, during treatment, and after treatment. Based on the non-invasive nature and clinical value of this test, it should be measured before, during, and after treatment where available.
3. Examination of the patient's renal function
Prostatic hyperplasia will compress the bladder and urethral outlet for a long time, and over time, it will seriously affect the normal kidney function of patients. And there are a large number of bacteria in the residual urine, which may induce renal pelvis in the long termnephritisand viralnephritis, so this indicator is also very important.
Fourth, the urinalysis test
Nowadays, the most common way to go to the hospital is urine routine examination and blood routine examination, through which you can also determine whether there is blood in the urine, urine glucose, and bilirubin. Urine smear is microscopic and cultured for bacteria. When collecting urine, it must be done before a digital rectal examination so as not to affect the results of the examination.
If you find that you are suspected of suffering from prostatic hyperplasia and do not understand the diagnosis, you should go to the hospital for a scientific diagnosis. Usually male friends, especially the majority of middle-aged and elderly friends, can learn more about the early signs and diagnosis methods of the prostate, stay away from the common diseases of the elderly, and enjoy their old age in peace.
