Prostate gland adenoma

SHARE WITH FRIENDS:

The causes of this disease are not yet fully understood. According to statistics, almost half of men over the age of 50 and 65 to 75 percent of men over the age of 90 have prostate adenoma. So, we can associate this disease with age, but the exceptions are everywhere, and in recent years, people who have not yet turned fifty are showing signs of adenoma. From this it can be concluded that at this age it is necessary to undergo regular urological examinations. You know very well that prevention is better than cure.
Prostate adenoma is a tumor that occurs in the prostate gland. Initially, one or more nodules appear, which gradually grow, resulting in compression of the urinary tract passing through the prostate gland, making it difficult for the patient to urinate. Adenoma is a slow-growing disease, so often patients are unaware of the change in the prostate gland and ignore the first signs of the disease.

The developmental stage of the disease can be divided into three.
In the first stage, the disease can be stable for several years without worsening due to the reserve capacity of the bladder, upper urinary tract and kidneys. Although the patient does not urinate much during the day, but the amount of urine excreted is less than before, the urine comes out after a while of waiting. In the evenings, the patient wakes up twice or more and continues to urinate. Often patients mistaken this condition for aging, insomnia. The first phase can last from 1 2 to 10 to 12 years.
In the second stage, the symptoms of the disease begin to appear more often. Urine will drip, not all at once. This stage is characterized by dysfunction of the bladder, upper urinary tract and kidneys. Urine accumulates in the bladder, and its volume can reach 100 to 200 ml, and sometimes up to 300 to 500 ml. The exacerbation of the disease can be seen in the inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bladder, the painful passage of urine. Excessive cooling, colds, severe fatigue, mental stress, alcohol consumption, including beer consumption, can lead to complete cessation of urination.
If timely treatment is applied, the first stage of the disease will not progress to the second, but if the second stage has started, it will definitely move to the third.
In the third stage of the disease, the ability of the bladder to contract is almost lost, in which up to 1,5 to 2 liters of urine accumulates, the urine drips involuntarily.
At this stage, a number of complications occur as a result of renal failure: complete loss of appetite, weakness, thirst, dry mouth, nausea, constipation. Depression, weight loss, bad breath indicate nitrogen slag poisoning in the body, and a rise in temperature indicates an increase in infections in the accumulated urine.
Bladder stone accumulation is the most common complication of prostate adenoma. Serious complications such as pyelonephritis, urethritis, prostatitis, adenomitis, vesiculitis, epididymitis, epididymorchitis can also be observed.
There are various methods of treating prostate adenoma today. When the disease is just developing, it is treated with medication. Or an adenoma - not a prostate gland! - surgically removed.
