Among the diseases of the urinary system, the incidence rate of prostatic hyperplasia is the highest, and bladder tumor is the second. Most patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia are middle-aged and elderly. Prostatic hyperplasia is the most common disease of elderly men, with a incidence rate of more than 50% and a incidence rate of more than 80 years old. "Because the onset of BPH is very slow, patients often mistakenly believe that weak urination and prolonged duration are the natural laws of the elderly and lose reasonable treatment opportunities.". Professor Chen said that for diseases like this, it is necessary to first go to the hospital for a digital rectal examination, B-ultrasound examination, and urine flow rate measurement. If diagnosed as benign prostatic hyperplasia, the main treatment methods include medication, interventional therapy, and surgical treatment. Drug treatment can reduce the size of the prostate and increase the maximum urinary flow rate, thereby improving symptoms. Urinary flow is unobstructed, which requires at least 6 months of medication. However, once the medication is stopped, symptoms can quickly recur. Therefore, surgical treatment of hyperplastic prostate tissue is currently the most fundamental method to cure BPH.
An old man Chen who called for consultation said that he had been wanting to go to the bathroom every night since he fell asleep three years ago. He always had to get up and urinate once in half an hour, with a small amount of urine. Sometimes, he urinates up to five or six times before falling asleep. Chen also said that sometimes there is blood in the urine.
Professor Chen suggested that Mr. Chen first have a routine urine test to see if there is any infection. "Take another B-scan of the urinary system. If the results are all normal, it may be due to bladder dysfunction or psychogenic frequent urination.". It is recommended that Mr. Chen should come to the hospital for examination and timely treatment. The appearance of hematuria may indicate a worsening condition of the hyperplastic prostate.
Mr. Meng asked Professor Chen whether it was important for him to have frequent bleeding in his urine recently, but it didn't hurt at all.
Professor Chen suggested that Mr. Meng had better go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound, CT, and MRI examination to confirm the diagnosis and treatment. Professor Chen said that hematuria is the most common symptom of bladder tumors, typically manifested as intermittent painless gross hematuria throughout the entire process. This type of disease is common in the elderly and is a common tumor of the urinary system, accounting for the first place in urinary system tumors.
In the face of many middle-aged and elderly people suffering from urological diseases, Professor Chen is deeply distressed and suggests that surgery be used to cure prostate hyperplasia at one time. Plasma bipolar vaporization electrosurgical ablation is currently the most effective minimally invasive technique for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. This surgery is guided by a high-definition visual endoscope under local anesthesia, and uses different forms of high-density electric current generated by a plasma knife to quickly and painlessly vaporize hyperplastic tissue without surgery. It has five major features, including painless minimally invasive surgery, low-temperature vaporization, comprehensive protective functions, and a user-friendly irrigation system, The optimal therapeutic effect of fine surgical cutting, no bleeding, and short surgical completion time is achieved. With minimal trauma, rapid recovery, minimal bleeding, and excellent results, it is particularly suitable for elderly patients with severe hyperplasia.
