**1.** **Main Causes of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia**

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease in men over 50. This is because the male urethra needs to...

Since the prostate gland passes through the urethra, prostate enlargement will inevitably cause varying degrees of obstruction to the urethra.

Compression leads to difficulty urinating. The medically recognized causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) include the following:

1) Excessive sexual activity and masturbation cause congestion of the sexual organs, and the prostate tissue enlarges due to prolonged blood stasis.

2) Chronic prostatitis that has not been completely cured, or urethritis, cystitis, or seminal colliculitis.

These factors cause the prostate tissue to become congested and proliferate.

3) Frequent or prolonged alcohol consumption, or a preference for spicy or other irritating foods, can stimulate prostate hyperplasia.

4) Lack of physical exercise can lead to arteriosclerosis and impaired blood circulation in the prostate area.

Poor hygiene can also lead to this disease.

**2. Clinical Manifestations of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia**

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) presents with the following clinical manifestations:

(1) Frequent urination: The frequency of urination increases significantly both during the day and at night, especially

Especially if the frequency of urination at night increases significantly, affecting the patient's sleep and rest. This is because...

This is caused by the urethra being compressed by the prostate, preventing the bladder from being completely emptied with each urination.

(2) Difficulty urinating: It takes a long time to urinate while standing next to the urinal.

This is medically termed "slow initial urination" or "voiding hesitancy." In normal individuals, urination begins...

Urine can be expelled within 2 seconds in the first urine, while the time to first urine is significantly delayed in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

(3) Weak urination: refers to the disappearance of the force of the urine stream during urination, and the "range" is shortened.

It's too short to form a parabola; it appears weak and listless, and sometimes it even drips.

(4) Urine stream bifurcation: In normal individuals, the urine stream is concentrated into a single jet during urination.

In men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the urine is discharged in two streams due to urethral compression, causing the urine to "go its own way."

(5) Interrupted urination: Urine cannot be expelled all at once, but must be urinated in several segments.

After urinating for a short while, pause briefly before urinating again. This is because after prostate enlargement, urine often accumulates in the bladder.

Incomplete bladder emptying leads to urate crystal precipitation, forming stones that block the urethral opening.

(6) Incomplete urination: There is always a feeling of "not being able to empty the bladder" after urinating, and there is still urine.

It dripped out, often wetting my crotch.

(7) Urinary incontinence: Urine leaks out involuntarily without the user's knowledge. This is due to bladder dysfunction.

A large amount of urine accumulates in the bladder, causing the pressure inside to gradually increase, which can trigger coughing, straining, etc.

It overflows spontaneously when abdominal pressure increases.

(8) Urinary retention: The patient feels that his/her bladder is very distended, but he/she just cannot urinate.

Come on. This is a very serious symptom, and often requires catheterization to resolve.
