Care for the prostate and health come hand in hand
In order to popularize the knowledge of prostate health and further promote men's health, we call on society and families to pay more attention to men's health. On March 22, our hospital carried out a free clinic activity of "Caring for Prostate Health to Accompany You" in the lobby on the first floor of Houde Building.
The medical staff of the Department of Urology and Oncology of our hospital conducted scientific popularization and consultation of prostate-related diseases for the people who came to participate in the event, and gave free prostate tumor marker (PSA) screening, so that the majority of men can realize the significance of early diagnosis and better pay attention to and maintain their own health.
Mr. Wang, 67, has recently had symptoms such as urgency and frequent urination, and wanted to come to the hospital to have a look, just in time for this free clinic. Mr. Wang said happily, "This time is also a coincidence, I caught up with the free clinic, there was no need to register, there was no need to queue, and the doctor also wrote me the things to pay attention to, this kind of activity is very good, and it is convenient for our people." ”
This event served more than 200 people. Medical staff also distributed popular science color pages and other materials to the masses, actively publicized health knowledge, and improved their health awareness and literacy.
Popular science time
In recent years, the incidence of prostate cancer has been increasing, and most of the cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage, losing the best time for treatment. Early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment can greatly increase survival through screening.
Common prostate diseases fall into three categories:
- Prostatitis: Patients often have urinary frequency, urgency, dysuria, abdominal pain and other manifestations, and the age of onset is mostly 20-40 years old.
- Prostatic hyperplasia: It is a common disease in middle-aged and elderly men, manifested by an enlarged prostate state, which can lead to difficulty urinating and increased nocturia.
- Prostate cancer: It is a malignant tumor, which can be asymptomatic in the early stage, and with the development of the disease, severe lower urethral obstruction, hematuria, pathological fracture of the whole body bone, and multi-organ metastasis can occur.
Early symptoms of prostate cancer
1. Abdominal pain: If a man suffers from prostate cancer, with the development of the disease, the cancer cells gradually increase, which can easily lead to local nerve compression, which may stretch the abdomen and cause abdominal pain.
2. Hematuria: In the early stage of prostate cancer in men, under the stimulation of cancer cells, it may cause prostate rupture and cause bleeding. Blood mixes with urine, which tends to cause hematuria.
3. Abnormal urination: In the early stage of prostate cancer, cancer cells gradually enlarge, which may compress the urethra and cause abnormal urination, such as frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, etc.
