What are the symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia in general

Although the symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia are generally relatively obvious, the vast majority of the symptoms are atypical, among them, the most typical symptom is frequent nocturia, so to speak, the more severe the prostatic hyperplasia, the more the patient urins at night.The following is an introduction to the symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia:

1. Progressive dysuria: the main manifestations are slow urination, laborious urination, weak ejaculation, small urine line, dripping urine, segmented urination and incomplete urination.

2. Frequent urination and urgency: The most common symptom in the early stage is frequent urination, which gradually worsens, especially the increase in the frequency of nocturia. Frequent urination is caused by hyperreflexia of the detrusor muscles of the bladder due to congestion of the bladder neck, and later is caused by urethral obstruction caused by hyperplasia of the prostate, which increases residual urine in the bladder and reduces the effective capacity of the bladder.

3. Acute urinary retention: on the basis of dysuria, acute urinary retention can occur when the glands and bladder neck are congested and edema caused by cold, drinking, exertion, etc. The bladder is extremely distended, painful, urinating, restless, and sleepless.

4. Urinary incontinence: advanced prostatic hyperplasia causes bladder compensatory failure and enlargement, and the residual urine volume of the bladder continues to increase. When a large amount of residual urine accumulates in the bladder, due to excessive bladder distention, the pressure in the bladder increases to exceed the resistance of the urethra and the urine can overflow at any time.

5. Symptoms of renal insufficiency: in the late stage, the long-term urinary tract infarction leads to the decline of kidney function and azotemia, which is manifested as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and anemia.

6. Hematuria: Venous vasodilation and congestion often occur on the surface of prostatic hyperplasia tissue, which can cause hematuria after rupture. Bleeding varies in size and is usually intermittent, occasionally heavy bleeding, and blood clots fill the bladder and require urgent treatment. Hematuria should be distinguished from bladder inflammation, stones, and tumors.

7. Other symptoms: due to long-term difficulty in urination, relying on abdominal pressure to urinate can cause or aggravate hemorrhoids, prolapse and hernia.

At present, although prostatic hyperplasia is mainly affected by the elderly, middle-aged people also have occasional incidence, so it is necessary to pay attention to the disease of prostatic hyperplasia, and it is best to focus on prevention, and at the same time, for asymptomatic prostatic hyperplasia, carefully observe and treat.
