Zhang Tianhao, Director of the Department of Urology of Jilin Qianwei Hospital, "Health Lecture Hall" invites Zhang Tianhao, a member of the Jilin Provincial Health Science Popularization Expert Database and Director of the Department of Urology of Jilin Qianwei Hospital, to give a special explanation: "male" is hidden and talk about prostatic hyperplasia.
1. Where is the prostate gland located in the body?
The prostate gland is a male-exclusive accessory gonadal organ (females do not have a prostate) that secretes prostatic fluid, which is the main component of semen (30%, not entirely sperm). The prostate gland is located deep in the pelvis, under the bladder, in front of the rectum, and the urethra passes through the middle of it. The prostate gland is a component of the urethra, so we can imagine that this large river becomes tortuous and narrow, and the water does not flow well. It looks like a chestnut, and the prostate of a normal adult weighs about 20g.
2. Do all men have prostatic hyperplasia?
Most likely, it will. Epidemiological surveys show that it generally occurs after the age of 40, and the incidence of prostatic hyperplasia in men over 60 years old is greater than 50%, and the incidence rate of prostatic hyperplasia in men over 80 years old is as high as 83%, so most men are inevitably urinated in one way or another.
3. Do all prostatic hyperplasia need to be treated?
No. Patients with mild hyperplasia generally do not require treatment. In this case, we can wait and see. This means that you can watch your symptoms first without the need for medication or surgery.
4. How to assess the severity?
There is a questionnaire, the International Prostate Symptom Rating Scale (IPSS), friends who suspect prostatic hyperplasia can do it, add the scores of each question, and get a preliminary simple judgment after getting the total score. The total score is 0-7 for mild, 8-19 for moderate, and 20-35 for severe. If you find out that it is moderate or severe, you should go to the hospital immediately.
