Heard a lot about benign prostatic hyperplasia. What is this disease and the mechanism of the disease?
Nguyễn Minh.A (D5)
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Tuan Vinh: This disease has an ongoing process of changing its name to suit each stage. Formerly known as prostate enlargement in men. Later, the researchers took the tumor to investigate whether or not the fibroids detected not only fibroids but also glands and muscles. Later revised names to be suitable for benign prostatic hypertrophy, benign prostatic tumor. The latest is called benign prostatic hyperplasia. Most older men are at risk, but not all older people have to be treated, but it must be accompanied by a symptom of lower urinary tract symptoms. Up to now, there have been many hypotheses that make benign prostatic hyperplasia disease. Firstly due to the influence of hormonal. The second prostate is the male genitalia: there are two types - one that develops in stages. However, it cannot develop forever but there is a change between being born and losing. A number of other mechanisms, such as constant inflammation, cause the prostate to grow. So this is a combination of many factors to develop benign prostatic hyperplasia.
With benign prostatic hyperplasia what is the treatment?
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Tuan Vinh: Proliferative benign prostate and symptoms of lower urinary tract, the new treatment. If only the head, then no treatment. The prostate is an extra genital organ in men. We only treat when there are symptoms or when there is cancer. We only treat when there is disease in the lower urinary tract. Therefore benign prostatic hyperplasia is not a disease and does not need to be cured. Not fibroids because there are thnah2 parts of muscle tissue, fibrous tissue, gland tissue ... This is also the principle of treatment of the Urology Association in the world.
