Early identification to prevent complications
prostate health plays an important role for men of all ages, not just middle-aged men. According to doctors, prostate hyperlipidemia, or benign prostate hyperlipidemia (BPH), is often manifested by urinary disorders but is easily overlooked because it is considered a " age sign".
Early recognition helps men choose the right treatment method, avoiding complications affecting the bladder, kidneys and daily life.
Dr. Sanjay Pandey - urologist at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital (India) - emphasized: "Many men ignore signs of urinary disorders because they think it is due to stress or busy. However, ignoring these can lead to squash, infection, or bladder damage.
5 warning signs of prostate enlargement
Weak urination: This is the most common sign. Weak urine flow or taking a long time to start urinating can indicate that the prostate is compressing the urethra. According to Dr. Pandey, this condition can seriously affect urinary function in the long run.
Difficulty urinating: If men have to spit or take time to urinate, it is an important symptom ofPH. Many people confuse drinking less water, but this is a warning sign that early examination is needed.
Feeling of an empty bladder: Feeling of continuous urine tightness even after going to the toilet is a sign of the prostate that obstructs urine flow, causing the bladder to not be completely Empt. This disrupts daily activities and affects work productivity.
Multiple-night stands: Many men consider waking up 2-3 times a night as normal, but Dr. Pandey says this reduces sleep quality, leading to fatigue, anxiety and even symptoms of depression.
Rapid or drip-off: A sudden, uncontrollable feeling of urine tightness or drip-off urine is a sign that should not be ignored. Dr Pandey warned that this is a stressful condition, especially when men worry about having to finding the nearest restroom.
Treatment: Not just surgery
According to urology experts, there are currently many effective treatment methods. alpha and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors are popular for mild and moderate symptoms.
Notably, the steam therapy method is being widely applied. Dr. Pandey explained: This is a less invasive technique, without cutting or stitching. Drinking water helps shrink enlarged prostate tissue, improves urination and shortens recovery time".
Proactively examining patients when there are signs of abnormality is an important factor to protect men's physiological and mental health.
