Causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia

There are two prerequisites that must be present for prostate enlargement to occur: first, age. The second is a functioning testicle. Infants and adolescents do not suffer from prostatic hyperplasia, because the prostate is not yet mature, young people do not suffer from prostatic hyperplasia, because it is not yet to the age of prostatic hyperplasia, 45 years old after the prostate began to occur in histological hyperplasia, but generally asymptomatic. 50 years old after some patients may have some symptoms, generally mild. 60 years old after the incidence of a significant increase in clinical symptoms are also more obvious. After 60 years of age, the incidence increases significantly and the clinical symptoms are more obvious. Prostatic hyperplasia is classified into four degrees according to the degree of hyperplasia: 20-25g for degree I enlargement, 25-50g for degree II enlargement, 50-75g for degree III enlargement, and 75g or more for degree IV enlargement. Regarding the impact of prostate enlargement on the quality of life, some scholars have done such a survey: 27.1% of patients lack of sleep. The quality of sleep is poor because of frequent nighttime trips to the toilet. 34.7% of patients restrict drinking water before going to bed just to minimize the number of times they have to get up at night. About 32.4% of patients do not go to places where there are no toilets. This inevitably restricts the patient’s range of motion and affects the patient’s ability to travel and visit friends and family. Why? Because when you go out and worry about not being able to find a toilet, most of the patients with prostate enlargement have symptoms such as urinary urgency, frequent urination, difficulty in holding in urine, poor urination, etc. If you want to urinate and can’t find a toilet right away, you will be prone to peeing in your pants. Even if they can hold their urine, when they can urinate, it is particularly difficult to urinate. This was also the reason why 29.9% of patients restricted their water intake before traveling.
