Symptoms of prostatic hypertrophy

summary

My father-in-law has been suffering from this kind of disease for several years. Now let me introduce the symptoms of prostatic hypertrophy.

Symptoms of prostatic hypertrophy

First of all, prostatic hypertrophy, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, is a common disease that significantly increases the prostate and affects the health of elderly men. Modern medicine believes that: prostatic hypertrophy is related to the endocrine system, which is caused by hyperplasia of epithelial cells and stroma of prostatic inner urethral gland and suburethral gland, adenovesicular dilatation, connective tissue and smooth muscle hyperplasia.

Second, if the prostatic hypertrophy develops around the urethra, it may have only mild manifestations, or even no symptoms. If it develops to the bladder neck, even if the hyperplasia is not large, it will also have serious symptoms. Patients generally have more frequent urination in the early stage, especially at night. With the passage of time, bladder muscle fatigue, voiding more powerless, residual urine will increase. At this time, the prostate is more congestive and edematous, so that the excreted urine line is thin and forked.

Third, sometimes the urine does not form a line and drips out. Sometimes the urine line is divided into two strands. When you go to the toilet, you have to wait for half a minute to one minute before you can urinate. Later, if the amount of residual urine is equal to the normal bladder capacity, when you hear the sound of running water or other stimuli causing reflex, it will automatically overflow urine. The outlet of bladder neck is extremely edematous and congestive. One is stimulated, such as cold, holding urine, Overwork and so on, will appear acute obstruction, completely lose the ability of automatic micturition, called "acute urine retention.".

Patients with prostatic hypertrophy should often eat food containing zinc, trace element zinc can prevent prostatic hypertrophy. Zinc has a wide range of functions, in the body can enhance resistance, increase appetite, can be bactericidal, prevention and treatment of acne, prevention and treatment of prostate hypertrophy and so on. Zinc rich foods include pumpkin seeds, walnuts, peanuts, fish, aquatic shellfish, lean meat, animal liver and kidney, milk, raw oysters, chestnuts, etc. Avoid spicy food.
