“Prostate disease” is usually a common disease among men, especially middle-aged and elderly men. Recently, 52-year-old Ms. Duan was diagnosed with "prostatitis." Do women also have prostates? Experts say that "prostate disease" is not a "patent" for men. Women also have "prostate disease." Middle-aged and elderly women over 40 years old will also suffer from such diseases.

It is hotly discussed that women also have a "prostate"? Ms. Duan, who lives in Gongyi, is 52 years old. Six months ago, she always had frequent urination, urgency, and even painful urination. Sometimes she would wet the bed when she couldn't get up early at night. After Ms. Duan went to several hospitals for medical treatment, the doctor told her that it was gynecological inflammation, but after several courses of treatment based on gynecological inflammation, she did not get better. In desperation, Ms. Duan, accompanied by her neighbors, went to a large hospital in Zhengzhou to see a doctor. After a detailed professional examination, Ms. Duan was diagnosed with "prostatitis". After returning home, Ms. Duan's illness was quickly spread by her neighbors, and people began to talk about how women could get "prostate disease"? Experts say women's "prostate" can also be inflamed. Professor Wang Rui, chief physician of the Urology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, said: "The prostate is an accessory gonad of the male reproductive system. Although women do not have a prostate, they also have glands similar to the prostate. These glands are It is homologous to the male prostate during the embryonic period, and is also affected and controlled by endocrine. However, as women grow and develop, especially under the influence of estrogen and other factors in the body, most women's prostate tissue shrinks and degenerates, but remains in women. Glandular tissue in the body occasionally becomes inflamed, causing diseases. "Wang Rui said that in the past two years, it has been very popular that women suffer from "prostate disease". In fact, the so-called "prostate disease" in women is the female urethra. Chronic inflammation or nodular tumor-like hyperplasia occurs in the remaining glandular tissue at the rear, leading to stenosis or even obstruction of the bladder neck, resulting in a series of symptoms such as discomfort in urination. This symptom was previously called "urethral syndrome". Now, people refer to the tissue around the female bladder that is similar to the male prostate as "prostate-like tissue", and the disease of female urination difficulty caused by prostatic-like tissue hyperplasia as "female urinary syndrome". Prostate disease”. Wang Rui pointed out that "prostate disease" in women is not a common disease, so it is easy to be misdiagnosed as urinary system infection or female genitourinary tumor, and some are misdiagnosed as sexually transmitted diseases, which not only delays treatment, but also brings economic losses and harm to patients. mental burden. Wang Rui suggested that women over 40 years old should try to choose a regular medical institution for examination and treatment by a specialist once they experience symptoms such as urgency, frequency, painful urination, difficulty urinating, or a foreign body sensation in the urethra. Analyzing that middle-aged and elderly women are susceptible to this disease, Wang Rui said that "prostate disease" in women is mostly among middle-aged and elderly patients, and the triggers are basically the same as men's, such as alcoholism, addiction to smoking, addiction to spicy food, sitting for long periods of time, holding back urine, insufficient drinking water, and sexual intercourse. Excessive frequency or long-term lack, etc. Symptoms are basically similar to those of male prostatitis. In the early stage, there are symptoms such as poor urination and thin urine lines. In severe cases, there are urgent urination, frequent urination, painful urination, difficulty in urinating or foreign body sensation in the urethra. A few patients even have symptoms such as hematuria, and occasionally Urinary retention can occur, leading to hydronephrosis, which affects kidney function. Wang Rui said that if female sex hormone secretion is imbalanced, it may also lead to the proliferation of glands around the bladder neck, causing obstruction, causing symptoms such as difficulty urinating, and causing "prostate disease." Therefore, paying attention to a light diet, avoiding cold and spicy stimulation, and maintaining a regular life can also effectively prevent the occurrence of "prostate disease". He reminded middle-aged and elderly women over 40 years old to drink more water, urinate more, pay attention to sexual hygiene, and minimize the chance of bacterial infection. media_span_url('http://www.jinbw.com.cn/jinbw/xwzx/jiankang/20091103475.htm')
