In recent years, the incidence of prostatic hypertrophy in China has increased year by year, which is caused by daily living habits and excessive nightlife. I believe many middle-aged men don't know much about this disease, thinking that it will recover automatically after a period of time, and they don't know the harm of long-term untreated. So, what should men do if they suffer from prostatic hypertrophy?

What's your problem! Do not hesitate. Xining Changhai Hospital is quite good in this respect. You can really feel the warmth.

Etiology of prostatic hypertrophy:

1, people who don't pay attention to diet, people who like spicy food, greasy food, smoking and drinking are more likely to suffer from prostatic hypertrophy, because spicy food and alcohol will stimulate the prostate and urethra, causing discomfort or vasodilation, resulting in symptoms such as congestion and edema of the prostate, which will reduce the resistance of the prostate. Another study shows that obesity caused by overnutrition is related to prostate hyperplasia. Excessive consumption of fat, meat, dairy products and other nutritious foods will increase the risk of prostatic hyperplasia.

2, hormone deficiency, according to the convention, the testis produces male and female hormones, but there are more male hormones and less female hormones. It is normal for them to reach a certain proportion, and the enlargement of prostate is due to the gradual atrophy of testis and the decrease of estrogen secretion, which makes prostate more sensitive to estrogen.

3, indulgence in life, excessive sexual life will lead to congestion of sexual organs, and the prostate will also increase due to continuous congestion. Continued hyperemia will increase the risk of prostate hyperplasia. Moreover, unclean sex life will cause sexual organ infection, thus reducing resistance. In addition, we should also pay attention to the cleanliness of the prostate, because scrotum and foreskin are easy to hide dirt and shelter evil people, and dirty bacteria may take the opportunity to enter, which may lead to prostate diseases.

Surgical treatment of prostatic hypertrophy

Surgery is still an important treatment for prostatic hypertrophy.

Surgical indications are

① Symptoms of lower urinary tract obstruction, obvious changes in urodynamic examination, or residual urine above 60ml;

② The symptoms of bladder instability are serious;

③ Upper urinary tract obstruction and renal function damage have been caused;

④ Recurrent episodes of acute urinary retention, urinary tract infection and gross hematuria; ⑤ Patients with bladder stones. For patients with long-term urinary tract obstruction, obvious impairment of renal function, severe urinary tract infection or acute urinary retention, indwelling urinary catheter should be used to relieve obstruction, and surgery should be performed after infection control and renal function recovery.

If urethritis is caused by difficulty in inserting catheter or too long intubation time, suprapubic cystostomy can be changed. The indications of emergency prostatectomy should be strictly controlled.
