Prostatic hypertrophy is also called prostatic hyperplasia. The symptoms of this disease are more obvious in the early stage. Therefore, if the symptoms of the disease are detected early, treatment can be received earlier. So, what are the common symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia?

Common symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia

1. Frequent urination: This is the most common symptom. The number of times you get up at night will increase because the urinary tract in your body is blocked.

2. Difficulty urinating: Because your urinary tract is blocked, the resistance will increase a lot when you urinate, so it will not be as smooth as before.

3. Unpleasant urge to urinate: After urination, there will be slight pain in the urethra or inability to urinate. Some patients will also experience discomfort in the lower abdomen.

4. The urine line becomes thinner: Because your urinary ability will be weakened, and gland hyperplasia will make your urethra orifice become uneven, so the urine line will become thinner.

5. Urine changes: The most common one is hematuria. This is also caused by blockage in the urinary tract, because blockage can easily lead to urinary tract infection. Pyuria may also occur.

How to prevent and treat prostatic hyperplasia?

1. Patients can choose whether to have surgery depending on the severity of the condition. If it is an early stage, they can choose drug treatment

2. If conditions permit, elderly patients are advised to take a sitz bath every day. They can use warm water to bathe the prostate before going to bed. The water temperature is generally the best that the body can withstand. Never do this. Too high. Because the prostate is very "heat-averse", it can be done once or twice a day. Very good for the condition.

3. It is recommended to massage more often, because the surface of the prostate is at the root of the anus and urethra. You can press this area hard to achieve a local swelling sensation. It is recommended to do it every day before lunch break and before going to bed. If possible, you can use some medical massage tools, the effect will be better.

4. Keep your bowel movements smooth on weekdays. If your bowel movements are blocked, toxins will accumulate and cause infection of the prostate. Do not hold back your urine and defecate when you feel the urge to urinate. Otherwise, your bladder will become overly distended. It is large and exceeds the contractility of the bladder's detrusor muscle, resulting in inability to urinate.
