People born after prostate growth is slow, into the people to accelerate growth after puberty, middle-aged to maintain constant volume, about 4 cm × 3cm× 2 cm in size. After the show two trends: some people tend to shrink and gradually reduce the gland; another part of people tend to hyperplasia, gland is gradually increasing. When the prostate hyperplasia up to a certain extent, the oppression of the urethra, caused a series of symptoms such as dysuria, in medicine is called benign prostatic hyperplasia.
BPH has called prostatic hypertrophy, occurs in the elderly over the age of 50. According to statistics Europe and the United States and other countries, in elderly men in their incidence rate is as high as more than 80 percent reported lower domestic, but also amounted to more than 50 percent. As happens in the prostate exit of the bladder, urethra around the location of the special case of proliferation, it will urethral pressure from all sides, so that the urine from the bladder obstruction, urinary system caused a series of lesions.Bear the brunt of the bladder near the prostate, because of obstruction from the urine, bladder must use greater force to be urine through the urethra from the narrow, therefore, the bladder wall detrusor compensatory thickening, then, although the urine Able fully discharged, but began to appear with frequency, urgency, especially nocturnal enuresis number of symptoms. With the continued proliferation of prostate, the more narrow urethra, bladder wall has been the strength of urine can not be fully discharged in vitro, not only will the remnants of bladder urine, but bladder wall will be weak local protruding, a medical disease known as the diverticulum . Hyperplasia more development, more expansion of the bladder wall, thinning, weakness, will appear at this time of enuresis phenomenon, known as the filling in medicine urinary incontinence.
Then on the involvement of the urinary tract, the bladder often filling can not effectively discharge urine, the kidneys produce urine can not be timely delivery of the ureter to the bladder, the result will inevitably lead to pyelonephritis (kidney within the cavity) of stagnant water, and Kidney real oppression, damage to kidney function.The obstruction in the urinary tract, infection and complications follow the calculus. As of this open sewer cleaning fluid, and obstruction of the pipeline sediment Hengyi, urinary tract obstruction makes the bacteria easy to breed, stone gradually taking shape.
Western medicine that BPH: prostate endocrine function for the whole of the endocrine part of, or the effects of endocrine-. The development of prostate and physiological state dependent on the maintenance of the body have enough male hormones, particularly estrogen and androgen balance. This shows that the incidence of benign prostatic hyperplasia causes and with androgen-related, and estrogen’s effects. In old age, the body of androgen and estrogen imbalance may be why the incidence of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Chinese medicine practitioners believe that benign prostatic hyperplasia: the disease for more than the injury Shenjing, feelings Waixie or internal and external factors intertwined, and to triple burner to the operation of water and gasification disorders caused. First, the gas shortage: overworked, Food Festival is not easy for the spleen and stomach injuries in the coke gas, or Qi in the Coke, is not up to-air, cloud overcast to decline, thus adversely urine. Second, the yuan renal deficiency. Third, lung heat Yong. Fourth, the hot and humid place bets. Fifth, the Liver Depression-lag. Sixth, the urethral obstruction.
