What are the dangers of prostatic hyperplasia?

If the prostate gland is not well protected, bad work and rest habits and eating habits will easily cause prostate diseases, one of which is very common is prostatic hyperplasia, prostatic hyperplasia patients are many middle-aged and elderly men, prostatic hyperplasia will cause serious damage to the patient's body, so we should be vigilant against prostatic hyperplasia, understand its symptoms, and detect and treat it in time.So what are the dangers of prostatic hyperplasia? What should I pay attention to in prostate protection?

1. The harm of prostatic hyperplasia

1. Affect fertility: Prostatic hyperplasia will lead to abnormal secretion of prostatic fluid, and the substances that protect and nurture sperm in semen will be destroyed, affecting the survival and quality of sperm, thereby causing infertility.

2. Destroy the life of the couple: prostatic hyperplasia will damage the excitability of the sexual nerve, resulting in sperm loss in men.premature ejaculationIn severe cases, impotence or even complete loss of sexual function may occur.

3. Induce carcinogenesis: prostate disease will cause the immunity of the prostate gland to decrease, reduce the antibacterial ability, increase the chance of bacterial infection, and long-term inflammation or hyperplasia can also induce prostate cancer.

4. Damage to the kidneys: prostate disease can damage the urethra, compress the urethra, lead to bladder obstruction, different difficulties in urination, cause inflammation of the urethra, hydronephrosis and chronic renal failure.

5. Pain: Prostatic hyperplasia is mostly induced after the patient has a cold, tiredness, drinking, holding urine, sexual intercourse or eating spicy food, which is manifested as distension and pain in the lower abdomen, inability to urinate, and abnormal pain.

2. If you find symptoms, you can't "wait" anymore

If the prostate gland is large but does not have any clinical symptoms, it does not constitute a disease, it is only a hypertrophic state. There is no need to rush medical intervention.

However, if many symptoms appear first, and they are all related to "urine", manifested as frequent urination, especially increased frequency of nocturia; urgency to urinate, to urinate when you don't go to the toilet; Weakness in urination, poor urination, thinning of urine stream, etc.At this time, you must not rush to the doctor in a hurry, and you should go to a regular hospital to receive reasonable treatment.

Symptoms alone are not the whole basis for judging the severity of the disease, and physical examinations and imaging tests are also crucial. The most commonly used test is ultrasonography. It can understand the size and shape of the prostate, and can also show whether there are other lesions in the kidneys and bladder. Some people find a large prostate gland with hyperplasia when they have an examination, but they don't have any symptoms, and this condition does not necessarily require treatment.

Ultrasonography of residual urine is convenient and reliable. A large amount of residual urine indicates severe disease. Uroflowometry is a test that has been introduced in recent years. The maximum urinary flow rate of a normal person is generally not less than 20 milliliters per second. More than 15 milliliters per second in the elderly can be considered normal, if less than 10 milliliters per second, it means that the disease is serious. Therefore, the elderly should not only pay attention to their urination in their daily life, but also have regular physical examinations in urology.

3. Do not drink alcohol for prostatic hyperplasia

Patients with prostatic hyperplasia are not allowed to drink alcohol or smoke. Drinking alcohol can lead to vasodilation, for the internal organs that are invisible on the outside, alcohol dilates blood vessels and easily causes organ congestion, if the prostate body is stimulated by alcohol, it is more likely to cause congestion, aggravate the degree of hyperplasia, and thus aggravate the original symptoms. Although the alcohol content of beer is relatively low, due to the adverse effects on the condition, it is best not to drink beer or to limit the amount of alcohol to a minimum.

If you suffer from prostatic hyperplasia, try to drink less beer to avoid the deterioration of the condition and harm your health; At the same time, patients with prostatic hyperplasia should pay attention to exercising more, strengthening nutrition, avoiding sitting and holding urine for a long time, drinking more water, quitting smoking and drinking, controlling sexual life, and avoiding cold, which are conducive to the recovery of patients with prostatic hyperplasia.

If a man suffers from prostatic hyperplasia, it must be detected and treated in time to minimize the damage to the body. At the same time, we should also pay attention to a reasonable diet and exercise more.

Prostate patients can usually mainly exercise the female private muscles, and insist on doing anal sphincter and levator ani muscle contraction exercises.
