Prostatic hyperplasia is a common disease in men. Prostate problems have a great impact on men, which will not only affect their own health but also affect their sexual life. So what are the causes of prostatic hyperplasia? How about benign prostatic hyperplasia?

1, the cause of prostatic hyperplasia

1. Excessive sexual life and masturbation make the sexual organs congested, and the prostate tissue increases due to continuous blood stagnation.

2. Chronic inflammation of prostate is not completely cured, or urethritis, cystitis, seminal vesiculitis, etc. , make the prostate tissue hyperemia hyperplasia.

3. Regular drinking or long-term drinking, eating spicy and other irritating foods, stimulate prostate hyperplasia.

Lack of physical exercise, arteriosclerosis and poor blood circulation in prostate can also lead to this disease.

2. Symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia

Symptoms 1, frequent urination

Frequent micturition is an early symptom of benign prostatic hyperplasia, and the number of nocturia increases first, but the urine output is not much each time. When the lower urinary tract is obstructed, 50% ~ 80% of patients have urgency or urge urinary incontinence. After detrusor decompensation, chronic urinary retention occurs, which reduces the effective volume of bladder and shortens the interval between urination. If accompanied by bladder stones or infection, the frequency of urination is more and more obvious, accompanied by dysuria.

Symptom 2: Dysuria

Glands are enlarged, mechanical obstruction is aggravated, and dysuria occurs. The degree of lower urinary tract obstruction is not proportional to the gland size. Due to the increase of urethral resistance, the patient's urination began to be delayed, the urination time was prolonged, the range was not far, and the urinary line was thin. The urine is forked, and there is a feeling of endless urine. If the obstruction is further aggravated, patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia must increase abdominal pressure to help urinate. Breathing increases or decreases abdominal pressure, and urine flow is interrupted and drips.

Symptom 3: Hematuria

Capillary congestion and vasodilation of prostate mucosa are pulled by enlarged glands or rubbed against the bladder. Bladder contraction can cause microscopic or macroscopic hematuria, which is one of the common causes of senile hematuria in men. Occasionally, massive hematuria, cystoscopy, metal catheter catheterization, and sudden bladder decompression during acute urinary retention catheterization can easily cause severe hematuria.

Symptom 4: urinary system infection

Lower urinary tract obstruction is a urinary tract infection caused by urinary retention, which can cause symptoms such as urgency, frequent urination and dysuria, accompanied by dysuria. When secondary upper urinary tract infection occurs, fever, low back pain and systemic poisoning symptoms appear. Although patients usually have no symptoms of urinary tract infection, there may be more white blood cells in urine or bacteria growing in urine culture. Prostatic hyperplasia should be treated before operation.

Symptom 5: Bladder stones

Lower urinary tract obstruction, especially when there is residual urine, urine stays in the bladder for a long time and can gradually form stones. The incidence of complications of bladder stones can reach more than 65438 00%. There may be urinary line interruption, pain at the end of urination, and urination after changing body position.

Symptom 6: Renal insufficiency

Renal function is destroyed due to ureteral reflux and hydronephrosis. The patient complained of loss of appetite, anemia, elevated blood pressure or lethargy and unconsciousness. Therefore, for male elderly patients with unexplained renal insufficiency, prostatic hyperplasia should be ruled out first.

3. Nursing methods of benign prostatic hyperplasia

1, drink plenty of water

High concentration of urine will cause certain irritation to the prostate, and long-term bad stimulation can induce prostate lesions. Drink plenty of water during the day and in moderation at night. Drinking more water can not only dilute the blood, but also urinate more to play the role of mechanical flushing of the urinary tract, and can also effectively dilute the concentration of urine and reduce the impact of adverse stimulation on the prostate.

2. Relax often

Psychological factors may increase the chance of prostate diseases. Clinically, when life and psychological stress are relieved, prostate symptoms will also be relieved, so try to stay relaxed at ordinary times. Good mental state and adequate rest contribute to the maintenance of prostate.

Step 3 take a warm bath

Warm water bath can relieve the tension between muscles and prostate, improve local blood circulation of prostate, and relieve discomfort symptoms. Massage the prostate with warm water 1~2 times a day, with gentle movements, and you can get good prostate protection effect.

Step 4 pay attention to cleaning

Male scrotal skin is wrinkled and elastic, and secretes more sweat. In addition, women's private parts are poorly ventilated, and it is easy to hide dirt and shelter evil people, which will lead to the reproductive organs, including the prostate, being in a very bad local environment, and the risk of diseases such as prostatitis, prostatic hypertrophy and sexual dysfunction will also increase. Therefore, insisting on cleaning women's private parts is an important link to prevent diseases and protect the prostate.

5. Prevent colds

Cold can excite sympathetic nerve, lead to the increase of urethral pressure and cause reflux. Therefore, stools and sofa cushions should be added in time in winter, and outdoor activities should not be sedentary on cold stones. When the climate is cold, keep warm to prevent colds.

6. Less friction

Friction will make the prostate in a state of tension and congestion, and women's private parts will be vigorously rubbed for a long time. For example, riding a bike or motorcycle, wearing tight underwear, low-waisted jeans and other long-term stimulation will not only make people feel uncomfortable, but also damage the prostate. Therefore, in order to prevent local harmful friction, reduce the pressure on women's private parts, and promote blood return, we should pay attention to taking a break during long-distance cycling or motorcycle riding. Low-waist jeans can be worn alternately with other styles of pants, and it is best to change this habit if you like to wear tight underwear. Underwear should be cotton and loose.

7. Adjust your living habits

Try not to drink alcohol to avoid repeated congestion of the prostate. Eat less spicy food such as pepper and ginger. Spicy food will not only lead to congestion of sexual organs, but also aggravate the symptoms of hemorrhoids and constipation and oppress the prostate. Because constipation may aggravate the symptoms of prostate swelling, it is advisable to eat more fruits and vegetables to reduce constipation, and if necessary, take drugs to relieve constipation to help defecate. Diet requires eating less fried foods and high-fat foods, and eating more fruits and vegetables and raw nuts containing natural unsaturated fatty acids, such as sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds.

8, diligent exercise

Combine exercise with work, do proper exercise every day, and keep a cheerful and optimistic attitude. Drivers should pay attention to proper exercise, often change posture when driving, strengthen exercise and enhance their physique, and drivers should not stay up late often. Office workers can relax by doing gymnastics during work breaks. When the weather is cold, you should also insist on proper physical exercise, such as playing Tai Ji Chuan, jogging or taking a walk after meals. This can improve blood circulation, which is of great significance for improving immunity and preventing prostate diseases.

9. Don't hold your urine.

Holding urine is bad for bladder and prostate. Holding the urine will cause the bladder to be over-filled, the detrusor muscle tension of the bladder will be weakened, and it is difficult to urinate, which is easy to induce acute urinary retention. Once the bladder is full, you should urinate in time to reduce the oppression and stimulation of the prostate caused by bladder filling. Under special circumstances, such as taking a long-distance bus, attending classes, etc. Before you start, you should empty your urine and drink water in moderation. If you are in a hurry, say hello, get off and pee, don't hold back.
