Many elderly middle-aged and elderly men often have problems with urination. Many people have to go to the bathroom several times a day and cannot get a good night’s sleep. This situation may indicate that You have an enlarged prostate. There is generally no good prevention method for enlarged prostate, but to relieve the trouble of urination caused by enlarged prostate, it is necessary to urinate.
Prostatic hypertrophy, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, is indeed a headache for men, and it can be seen in middle-aged and elderly people at any time.
After suffering from an enlarged prostate, it will cause a feeling of late or inexhaustible urination, and delay in urinating. If the prostate is enlarged to the point of obstruction Urinary tract, resulting in urinary retention, that is, there is a large amount of urine in the bladder that cannot be excreted. In severe cases, uremia may occur, and it may also cause severe hydronephrosis, resulting in fatigue and loss of appetite , pale complexion, dizziness and other symptoms.
Once suffering from prostatic hypertrophy, they often have to get up several times at night. Some elderly people know about this disease, and even if they run to the bathroom, they will have little or no urine discharge, then Often it will be forbearance, thinking that it will pass if you endure it. However, I want to emphasize here that elderly people with enlarged prostate should not endure when they want to urinate. It should be done every few times. If there is too much urine in the bladder, it will compress the urethra and eventually cause urination.
If the prostate enlarges to the point of urination, surgery is necessary. In general, prostate surgery is safe. However, many elderly people suffer from high blood pressure and heart disease, so when the operation is performed, the patient must tell the doctor about his condition. Because more water and infusion should be added after surgery, which will increase blood pressure and water, thereby increasing blood pressure, and increasing urination will also accelerate the excretion of the antihypertensive drugs taken, so pay attention to adjusting the dose of antihypertensive drugs.
Where the Liver Meridian of Foot Jueyin of Traditional Chinese Medicine passes, the prostate tissue continues to proliferate and swell, and the “long closure” caused by the compression of the urethra can be regarded as the accumulation of the Liver Meridian; Prostate hypertrophy in the elderly is often caused by the loss of kidney essence, the disharmony of yin and yang, the unfavorable meridians, the rash movement of phase fire, the torment of body and blood, resulting in phlegm coagulation and blood stasis, and stagnation of liver meridians. During the treatment, the basic pathology of liver meridian swelling is treated with the method of soothing the liver and dissipating the knot.
Patient, male, 68 years old. He has a history of high blood pressure and has been suffering from incessant urination for many years.
