In daily life, as we age, there are many elderly people who will have frequent and urgent urination, keep running to the toilet during the day, and also start to need to get up at night to use the toilet (increased nocturnal urination), and in serious cases even get up several times, which seriously affects the quality of sleep. In the eyes of many people, these symptoms of frequent and urgent urination are a natural manifestation of aging, as are blurred eyes and lost teeth, and although they affect their quality of life, they are not life-threatening and can therefore be treated without treatment. The actual fact is not, it is likely that you have suffered from prostate hyperplasia (commonly known as prostate hypertrophy). The incidence of prostate hyperplasia will increase with age. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time. And past the age of 80, 80 percent will develop hypertrophy. The early manifestations of prostatic hyperplasia are frequent urination and increased nocturia, caused by the stimulation of prostate congestion. As the disease develops, the enlarged prostate will narrow the urethra and increase the urethral resistance. When the force of bladder muscle contraction cannot exceed the urethral resistance, the urine in the bladder cannot be completely emptied and the remaining urine in the bladder (residual urine) gradually increases, resulting in a decrease in the effective capacity of the bladder, thus making the symptoms of urinary frequency and urgency more severe, and in severe cases, the patient cannot even urinate on his own and needs to come to the hospital for emergency treatment. The symptoms of urinary frequency and urgency may be more severe, and the patient may not be able to urinate on his or her own and may require emergency treatment by catheterization. There are signs of prostate enlargement. When you experience an abnormal increase in the frequency of urination (urinary frequency and urgency), especially at night, it is important to seek medical attention. However, there are some people whose early symptoms are not obvious, and treatment is delayed as a result. Therefore, as long as you are over 50 years old, even if you don’t have the urge to urinate frequently, you should take an active medical checkup and go to a regular hospital urology department every year to do a screening for prostate enlargement and perform an ultrasound examination of the prostate gland, so that you can find traces of the disease early and treat it as early as possible.
