First of all, research generally believes that age is the most important risk factor for prostate hypertrophy. As age increases, the imbalance of male hormones causes tissue hyperplasia. After the age of 80, the proportion of prostate hypertrophy is as high as 8 to 90%. The early symptoms of prostate cancer are not obvious, usually asymptomatic or with symptoms similar to prostate hypertrophy, so you need to pay attention to the situation of prostate hypertrophy!

The doctor first pointed out, in the end how to count nocturia. According to the International Association for the Prevention and Treatment of Urinary Incontinence, nocturia is defined as "the number of urinations required during the main stage of sleep from the onset of sleep until the intention to wake up". That is to say, the degree of trouble urinating late is also very troublesome for individuals. Some people may be very troubled by urinating once at night, but some people may go to the toilet 2 to 3 times at night without feeling bored.

However, the current research shows that the incidence of depression and reduced quality of life in the group with nocturia is indeed higher than that in the group without nocturia. If nocturia is more than or equal to 2 times, people are more likely to significantly affect their quality of life. Although nocturia is one of the symptoms of prostate hypertrophy, nocturia does not mean prostate hypertrophy. Physicians also list possible causes of nocturia:

Enlarged prostate

Obstructive sleep apnea

Diabetes

Sleep disorder

Urinary tract-related diseases

Lifestyle, habits

Systemic disease

Therefore, in evaluating patients with nocturia, more comprehensive thinking is needed to analyze the possible causes behind it.

Prostate hypertrophy or prostate cancer?

Many people are also worried that if they have symptoms of prostate hypertrophy, is it possible that they will also be prostate cancer? The doctor pointed out that the early symptoms of prostate cancer are not obvious, usually asymptomatic, or manifested with symptoms similar to prostate hypertrophy, including thin urine flow, intermittent urination, feeling that the bladder cannot be emptied, nocturia, Urgency and so on.

Therefore, patients often mistakenly believe that it is caused by aging and bladder weakness, and think that it is a phenomenon of natural aging, but ignore the seriousness. However, according to health insurance data, about 1/3 of newly diagnosed patients with prostate cancer in Taiwan had metastasized when they were discovered.

Advanced prostate cancer may have symptoms such as hematuria, bone pain, and lower extremity edema. For example, doctors said that when cancer cells spread to other organs, they invaded the seminal vesicles, and blood in the semen would appear. If cancer spreads to the bone, it will cause bone pain, pathological fracture or spinal compression, and neurological symptoms.

However, patients often find that they have prostate cancer after medical examinations because of discomfort and obvious symptoms in other parts of the body. Therefore, you should pay more attention to the following symptoms and seek the diagnosis of a professional doctor:

Frequent urination, nocturia, difficulty urinating, slow urine flow, and other symptoms similar to an enlarged prostate

Sudden erectile dysfunction

Semen bleeding

Hematuria

Pain or stiffness in the lower back, hip, pelvis, or thigh

Bone pain: Prostate cancer most often metastasizes to bones such as the spine
