What are the clinical manifestations of prostate enlargement?

Prostate enlargement is one of the “natural enemies” that jeopardize the longevity of older men. The onset of prostate hyperplasia is a slow and unnoticeable process. Older people often say, every night up$ 2 to 3 times, that is the reason for the old. In fact, the main reason is that the prostate gland is quietly enlarged caused by frequent urination, the reason is that the hyperplasia of the gland tissue obstruction, pressure on the bladder outlet of the urinary tract, the enlargement of the prostate gland is like a reservoir gate stacked a “stone”, with the prostate gland year after year to increase the size of the obstruction of the exit of the “boulder”! As the prostate gland grows, the “boulder” blocking the exit grows bigger and bigger, the exit becomes narrower and narrower, or even completely blocked, despite the opening of the gate when urinating, the urine is also blocked by the “boulder”, and the urine is not discharged smoothly, resulting in an increase in the “water storage” in the bladder, and the “water” level increases. The “water” level rises, “water pressure” also rises. However, this change has not attracted people’s attention. Due to the slow pace of prostate hyperplasia, after several years or even decades, the symptoms appear gradually, so that people take it for granted, some patients 7 to 8 times a night to urinate also do not take it for granted, there are a lot of patients until the end of life only suddenly realized. Prostatic hyperplasia is a common disease in middle-aged and elderly men, can cause a series of clinical manifestations: 1, urinary frequency and urgency: the most prominent early symptom is urinary frequency and urgency, most prominent at night. Frequent urination occurs due to the bladder neck congestion, mild infection in the residual urine, irritation of the bladder mouth part. Urinary urgency is mostly caused by bladder inflammation. 2.Difficulty in urination: it starts with waiting for urination and weakness of urination, followed by thinning and interruption of urine flow, and even urinary retention. 3.Urinary incontinence: it is often a late symptom, most likely to occur when the patient is sleeping, due to the relaxation of pelvic floor muscles and urinary incontinence. Enlarged glands on the one hand cause difficulty in urination, but on the other hand interfere with the sphincter mechanism of the bladder opening, urinary incontinence can also occur. 4, hematuria: mainly by the bladder inflammation and the combination of stones appear. Often microscopic hematuria, if for the gland surface of the vascular dilatation rupture can cause naked eye hematuria. Bleeding, and the occurrence of urethral blood clots blocked to acute urinary retention. 5, acute urinary retention: prostatic hyperplasia in 60% of cases can appear. Failure to urinate in a timely manner after exposure to cold, strenuous exercise, drinking alcohol or eating stimulating food causes congestion and edema of the enlarged gland and bladder neck, resulting in urinary retention.
