Prostatic hyperplasia is a common disease in older men. As men get older, the level of androgens in their bodies will slowly decline. Due to the decline in androgen levels, prostate cells (called androgen target cells) do not have enough androgen to act on them, and the cells begin to regress and hypertrophy occurs. Also because the prostate gland is part of the urethra, when the prostate gland is enlarged (hypertrophy), the urethra becomes narrowed, and there is difficulty in urination, and in severe cases there is even an inability to discharge urine, which manifests itself as urinary retention requiring emergency catheterization. What are the complications of prostate enlargement? 1, infection urinary flow obstruction is a prerequisite for infection, so it is easy to occur bladder neck, posterior urethra and bladder inflammation. 2.Acute urinary retention. 3, hematuria. 4, bladder stones: due to urinary obstruction, secondary infection and easy to form bladder stones. 5.Uremia: when the degree of obstruction is gradually aggravated, hydronephrosis and renal insufficiency will easily occur, resulting in clinical symptoms of uremia. In addition, renal hypertension can also occur. 6, hemorrhoids, prolapse, inguinal hernia: because of the difficulty of urination, abdominal pressure increases for a long time, so it is easy to cause hemorrhoids and prolapse, inguinal hernia and other complications. 7, bladder diverticulum, trabecular formation, affecting bladder function. 8, affecting sexual function, memory: with the continuous rejuvenation of prostate hyperplasia and hypertrophy, patients with prostate hyperplasia and hypertrophy are prone to dizziness, irritability, anxiety, memory and sexual dysfunction. 9, other: when prostatic hyperplasia causes urination difficulties, people with a history of hypertension are prone to cerebrovascular accidents and heart failure, which should be taken seriously. When prostatic hyperplasia obstruction causes obvious fluid retention in kidney and ureter, the enlarged kidney can be touched with pressure pain. When the bladder is full, a cystic mass can be felt in the middle of the lower abdomen. Sometimes the mass in the lower back is a perinephric inflammatory infiltrate, or a perinephric suit.
