1, uremia. Benign prostatic hyperplasia may lead to kidney damage and even uremia. This is because the hyperplastic prostate compresses the urethra, and the bladder needs to contract hard to overcome the resistance and excrete urine. Over time, bladder muscles will become hypertrophy. If the bladder pressure cannot be relieved for a long time, the urine remaining in the bladder will gradually increase, the bladder muscles will be ischemic and anoxic, and the bladder cavity will be enlarged. Finally, the urine in the bladder will be poured back into the ureter and renal pelvis to cause hydronephrosis, and uremia will occur in severe cases.
2. infection. As the saying goes, "running water does not rot", but patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia often have different degrees of urinary retention. The urine left in the bladder is like a pool of stagnant water. Once bacteria multiply, it will cause uncontrollable infection.
3, urinary retention and urinary incontinence. Urinary retention can occur at any stage of the disease, mainly due to sudden congestion and edema of prostate caused by climate change, drinking and fatigue. Excessive residual urine can make the bladder lose its contractility, and the residual urine in the bladder gradually increases. When the bladder is inflated excessively, urine will unconsciously overflow from the urethral orifice. This kind of urinary incontinence is called filling urinary incontinence, and such patients must receive emergency treatment.
4, bladder stones. Bladder stones in the elderly are also related to benign prostatic hyperplasia. In the case of unobstructed urinary tract, stones generally do not grow in the bladder. Even if stones fall into the bladder from the ureter, they can be discharged with urine. Elderly people with benign prostatic hyperplasia are different.
5. hey Benign prostatic hyperplasia may induce diseases such as hernia (intestinal gas) in the elderly. Some patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia will have symptoms of dysuria and need to hold their breath hard to urinate. Due to frequent exertion, the intestine will protrude from the weak part of the abdomen, forming hernia (intestinal gas), and sometimes patients will have hemorrhoids and varicose veins of the lower limbs.
6, hemorrhoids: increased intra-abdominal pressure. It is easy to cause hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are divided into internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids and mixed hemorrhoids, which are masses caused by varicose veins of the rectum on both sides of the dentate line. The increase of intra-abdominal pressure, obstruction of venous return and congestion of superior and inferior rectal venous plexus are the important causes of hemorrhoids. Patients may have bleeding, hemorrhoid prolapse and pain when defecating. Therefore, after the dysuria of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia is relieved, hemorrhoids can often be relieved or even self-healed.
7. Others: Some patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia may have sexual desire changes, some have hypersexuality, some have low sexual desire, and a few patients may have hemospermia.
