Many patients are confused with prostatic hyperplasia and chronic prostatitis. Although prostatic hyperplasia is very similar to chronic prostatitis in the early stage, they have different symptoms. What are the symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia and chronic prostatitis? How to distinguish between prostatic hyperplasia and chronic prostatitis? Prostatic hyperplasia is a hyperplasia of the prostate that oppresses the prostatic urethra or affects the bladder urethral obstruction. Patients have symptoms of frequent urination and dysuria. The prostate is divided into two layers, the inner layer is the mucosa around the urethra and the submucosal gland; the outer layer is the prostate gland. The pathology of prostatic hyperplasia is mainly the prostatic hyperplasia of the inner layer. The prostate matrix forms multiple fibromuscular nodules and stimulates the proliferation of prostatic epithelial cells, eventually forming a matrix adenoma to compress the urethra and the prostate gland. Prostatic hyperplasia occurs mostly in older men. Chronic prostatitis is divided into bacterial chronic prostatitis and aseptic chronic prostatitis. Bacterial prostatitis is a disease in which the bacteria are retrogradely transurethral to the prostate to cause prostate edema and congestion. Aseptic prostatitis is a disease in which the prostate still has inflammatory reactions such as congestion and edema in the absence of pathogenic conditions. Regardless of the type of chronic prostatitis, inflammation occurs in the glands, and there is no glandular hyperplasia, and nodules appear. Chronic prostatitis occurs mostly in young adults. There are two main clinical symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia, one is bladder irritation; the other is urinary tract obstruction. Bladder irritation symptoms are mainly frequent urination, urgency, nocturia, and urge incontinence. Frequent urination is an early signal of prostatic hyperplasia, especially the increase frequency in nocturia is more clinically significant. The more number of nocturia, the more severe of hyperplasia. If the elderly who do not have a night urine, one day he have frequent night urine, he should be alert to the possibility of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Obstructive symptoms are urination weakness, urinary line thinning and urine drip. Because the prostate hyperplasia obstructs the urinary tract, the patient should use more force to overcome the resistance to urinating, and the urinary line becomes thinner; as the disease progresses, there may be symptoms such as interruption of urination and incomplete drainage after urination. Chronic prostatitis can also cause bladder irritation. Such as frequent urination, urinary tract burning when urinating. Unlike prostatic hyperplasia, patients with chronic prostatitis can also be accompanied by pain and radiate to the head of the penis during urination, as well as bulging discomfort in the posterior urethra, perineum and anus. The pain is not limited to the urethral perineum but also to the lower back. Although prostatic hyperplasia occurs in the elderly. However, young adults can also develop prostatic hyperplasia, and benign prostatic hyperplasia is similar to chronic prostatitis in the early stage of the disease, and the age is more easily misdiagnosed as prostatitis. Prostatic hyperplasia and chronic prostatitis in addition to the difference in symptoms, anal finger examination and B-ultrasound can be effective to help identify. Prostatic hyperplasia can lead to shallowing of the central groove of the prostate. Chronic prostatitis generally does not cause the central groove to become shallow, and the anus can be identified. And B-ultrasound can show hyperplasia of the prostate in patients with prostate hyperplasia, but chronic prostatitis of patietens generally no proliferative prostate. In the treatment, prostate hyperplasia is mainly treated with surgery, and chronic prostatitis mainly uses long-term anti-inflammatory treatment. The treatment of chronic prostatitis with pure Chinese medicine preparation of diuretic anti-inflammatory pills is good! Diuretic anti-inflammatory pills have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. By adjusting the physiology of the prostate, it help patients recover quickly.
