Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common male disease. Its main clinical manifestations are progressive urination frequency and dysuria. The urine in the bladder can not be completely emptied, so residual urine appears. BPH also needs to prevent urinary poisoning.
Because of the appearance of benign prostatic hyperplasia, can lead to male uremia phenomenon, the occurrence of benign prostatic hyperplasia hypertrophy is gradual, with the prostate gradually oppressing the urethra, at first the performance may only increase the frequency of urination, and then there will be weak urination, thin urine line, incomplete urination or accompanied by hematuria. Finally, * the bladder pressure increased, and the bladder lost its contractile capacity. If this is not treated in time, serious dysuria continues to develop, it may affect renal function, serious cases can lead to kidney disease and even uremia.
Experts said that urine poisoning is a very serious disease, even life-threatening. Therefore, when the patient hears the urine poisoning, he is extremely nervous. However, the late stage of prostatic hyperplasia caused by urinary poisoning, and chronic nephritis caused by uremia, as long as the treatment is timely, the prognosis is usually better. Because this kind of urine poisoning is due to serious obstruction of the urethra, which indirectly affects the kidney. There is no organic disease in the kidney itself. As long as the urethral obstruction is removed in time, the kidney can still restore urinary function. Urinary poisoning caused by nephritis is a serious loss of function of the kidney itself due to nephritis, which is irreversible. Patients can only maintain their life through dialysis treatment or kidney transplantation.
For the prevention and treatment of urinary poisoning caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia, the simplest way is to indwelling catheterization as soon as possible to relieve the obstruction of bladder and urethra and quickly restore its renal function. However, some elderly patients with BPH are afraid of catheterization and delay treatment, which is the root cause of urinary poisoning. Serious urinary poisoning, indwelling catheterization often takes months, even as long as a year, and long-term indwelling catheterization, both uncomfortable and prone to urinary tract and reproductive tract infection, naturally not the best policy. The best way is to make cystostomy. After the renal function returns to normal, prostatectomy is performed. If the patient is old and weak, accompanied by serious cardiopulmonary disease, and cannot tolerate prostatectomy, he can also make a lifelong cystostomy, and still be able to live a normal life.
In order to avoid urinary poisoning due to benign prostatic hyperplasia, the elderly friends should pay attention to the following two points: first, when you have prostatic hyperplasia, you should pay attention to the symptoms of frequent urination. This is by no means a normal phenomenon of the elderly, but a signal of the disease. We should make timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent further development of the disease. The two is when you have serious frequency of urination, urination, urinate dripping endless, may have a large number of residual and urinary retention, * at this time do not fear to catheterization and hard to deal with, otherwise, there will be urinary intoxication.
