What causes prostatic hyperplasia is involved

Andrology prostatic hyperplasia mostly occurs in elderly men, due to the slow progress of the disease, many patients can not be found in time in the early stage, resulting in the aggravation of the disease, so is there any way to prevent the occurrence of prostatic hyperplasia? To prevent it, we must first know what is related to the cause of prostatic hyperplasia.

age

The older the patients with prostatic hyperplasia, the higher the incidence of serious complications such as acute urinary retention, and the percentage of patients with prostatic hyperplasia who are over 60 years old and need to undergo transurethral total prostatectomy is much higher than that of patients aged 40~60 years, that is, the incidence of acute urinary retention and the need for surgery in patients with prostatic hyperplasia increases with age.

Serum pSA

Serum pSA is also one of the important indicators for predicting the progression of prostatic hyperplasia, and the risk of acute urinary retention and the need for surgery in patients with prostatic hyperplasia increase with the increase of serum pSA. When serum pSA is greater than 1.6 ng/ml, patients with prostatic hyperplasia are more likely to have clinical progression.

Prostate volume

Although the prostate volume of patients with prostatic hyperplasia is not absolutely correlated with their clinical symptoms, prostate volume can still be used as an indicator to predict the risk of acute urinary retention and the likelihood that patients will need surgery. Men with a prostate volume greater than 30 ml have a more than 3-fold increased risk of moderate to severe urethral obstruction or acute urinary retention.

There are many reasons why andrology affects prostatic hyperplasia, the above is just a part of it, in daily life, male friends should know more about prostatic hyperplasia, and participate in sports to enhance physical fitness, which is of great help to prevent diseases.
