In the urology department, patients with prostate enlargement suffer even more on rainy winter nights, with more nighttime urination and poor sleep. The urologist pointed out that half of the 60-year-olds will suffer from prostate enlargement, which leads to frequent urination, urgent urination, increased nocturnal urination, thin urine stream, effortful urination, incomplete urination and incontinence due to the increasing size of the gland, squeezing the urethra. If left untreated, it may also lead to acute urinary retention, hydronephrosis and other serious complications, causing great harm to the body. The majority of men over 60 years of age suffer from prostate enlargement The prostate is a unique gonadal organ for men, and its shape is a bit like a chestnut, with the urethra passing through the middle of the gland. So, if the prostate is diseased, urination is the first thing to be affected. As you get older, the size of the prostate will gradually increase. According to statistics, after the age of 40, the prostate gland starts to develop small hyperplastic nodules, and after the age of 50, the prostate gland continues to grow and squeeze the urethra. By the age of 60 more than 50% of people suffer from prostate hyperplasia and the urethra becomes increasingly narrow, which is why symptoms such as difficulty in urination, thinning of the urine line and obstruction of the urine stream occur. The reason why men have such characteristics is that they are closely related to male androgens. The mechanism of prostate enlargement pathogenesis is still unclear, but two important conditions must be present for its occurrence: increasing age and functioning testes. Therefore, surgeons often refer to the phrase: “Benign prostatic hyperplasia is one of the most common diseases in urology.” This disease is also relatively easy to diagnose. It is easy to detect the enlargement of the prostate through history, rectal examination, urine routine, serum PSA, ultrasonography, etc. For example, during rectal examination, the doctor is able to feel the enlarged gland and the central groove becomes shallow or disappears. The symptoms are generally divided into two categories: one is the symptoms of the urination period, including the effort to urinate, the sense of incomplete urination; thin urine line, slow urination, intermittent urination, dripping; the other is the symptoms of the storage period, including frequent urination, urinary urgency, nocturnal urination, etc. Whether it is day or night, if urination is not smooth, life will be a lot of inconvenience and seriously affect the quality of life. According to statistics, 36.5% of patients lack sleep; 40.3% of patients usually do not go to places without toilets and are greatly restricted from going out; 45% of patients restrict the amount of water they drink before going to bed; 37.4% of patients restrict the amount of water they drink before going on a trip. The current treatment for BPH is divided into three main categories: watchful waiting, medication, and surgical treatment. When you find prostate enlargement, when the symptoms are not obvious, you can first observe and wait, and then go to the doctor after 6 months to have your condition measured. Once the symptoms are found to be significantly worse, adjust the treatment plan in time. For prostate enlargement, medication is the first choice. Medication can relieve the symptoms and gradually reduce the size of the prostate. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of the most popular and most popular items. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. So middle-aged and elderly people usually need to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to warmth, moderate exercise, avoid stimulating food, do not inhibit their own urination, and reduce the chance of urinary tract infection.
