Measures to diagnose prostatic hyperplasia
If a man suffers from prostatic hyperplasia, it will not only bring harm to his own health, but also have a great impact on his life, and will also trouble the normal family life of the patient, so it is very important to know the method of diagnosing prostatic hyperplasia as soon as possible and treat it immediately.
1. Residual urine measurement
The remaining urine of normal people is not more than 10ml, and patients with prostatic hyperplasia can have an increase in residual urine, and measuring the amount of residual urine is helpful to judge the degree of prostatic hyperplasia, which is one of the indicators to consider whether to undergo surgical treatment, so measuring 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. Therefore, urine flow rate can be measured at the initial diagnosis, during treatment, and after treatment to determine the efficacy. Based on the non-invasive nature and clinical value of this test, it should be measured before, during, and after treatment where available.
3. Renal function test
The method of diagnosing prostatic hyperplasia can also be renal function tests, and patients with prostatic hyperplasia can choose items for examination according to their specific conditions.
4. Urinalysis
In patients with prostatic hyperplasia, urinalysis is sometimes normal, and red and white blood cells, proteinuria, pyuria, and alkaline urine may be seen in the presence of urinary tract infection. Examination can also determine the presence of hematuria, 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.
In order to treat the disease as soon as possible, we must know what are the methods for diagnosing prostatic hyperplasia, so that the early diagnosis can also reduce the pain of the patient from the disease and allow the patient to recover as soon as possible.
