Symptoms of prostatic hypertrophy

The main symptoms of prostatic hypertrophy are frequent micturition, urgency, strenuous micturition, waiting for micturition, nocturia, and endless drops of urine after micturition.

1, Dysuria: Progressive dysuria is the most typical symptom of prostatic hypertrophy, which is characterized by slow urination, intermittent urination, weak urine flow, short range, dripping at the end, prolonged urination time, and often incomplete urine at the end of urination.

Frequent micturition and urgency: the earliest symptom is frequent micturition, which shows that the frequency of micturition increases, while the amount of urine decreases every time, which is more obvious at night.

2, urinary retention: prostatic hypertrophy causes urethral obstruction, when aggravated to a certain extent, urination can not be complete, residual urine appears, and gradually develops into urinary retention. In severe cases, hydronephrosis and renal insufficiency may occur.

Urinary incontinence: it is usually a manifestation of late prostatic hypertrophy. The patient can't control his urine.

3. Hematuria: It is a rare symptom of prostatic hypertrophy. Due to prostatic hypertrophy, superficial blood vessels bulge, blood vessels rupture when forced urination, usually with less bleeding and occasional hemorrhagic shock.

The course of benign prostatic hyperplasia develops slowly and can be asymptomatic in the early stage. With the aggravation of obstruction, the development of the lesion is accelerated, accompanied by infection and bladder stones, and the symptoms are gradually aggravated. If men have clinical symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia after the age of 50, they need to go to the hospital for diagnosis.
