Does a man who urinate not far away have prostatic hyperplasia? Does a man who urinate not far away suffer from prostate?

In public toilets, we often see the slogan "One big step forward, one small step towards civilization", which means that men are reminded to pay attention to public health and urinate in the urinal as much as possible when urinating.But some men, he doesn't want to pay attention to hygiene, but he has more than enough heart and not enough strength, he can't pee far, and even drips on his pants, so does a man urinate far away because of prostatic hyperplasia? Does a man who urinate not far from suffering from the prostate?

1. If the urine is not far away, it may suffer from prostatic hyperplasia

Prostatic hyperplasia, formerly known as prostatic hypertrophy. According to statistics, 50% of men over 50 years old in China have different degrees of prostatic hyperplasia, 60% over 60 years old, and 70%-90% over 70 years old. Don't take prostatic hyperplasia seriously because of the high prevalence, the professor and expert of the Department of Urology of the Minimally Invasive Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University reminded that severe prostatic hyperplasia can cause lower urinary tract obstruction, and long-term obstruction will lead to hydronephrosis and renal damage, and can also be complicated by hernia, stones, infections and tumors and other diseases, which seriously endanger the health of elderly men.

For men, urine is not far away, or some men report that the urine begins to become finer and thinner as they age. Experts and professors in prostate analysis said that this situation is more common in middle-aged and elderly men, indicating that prostatic hyperplasia may occur. He explained that as we age, all organs in the human body are shrinking, but the prostate gland is gradually enlarged. In men, the urethra passes through the prostate, and the prostate gland will compress the urethra, resulting in poor urination, poor urination, and thinning of the urine.

2. Over 50 years old should have the prostate checked

According to experts, do not pay attention to the high prevalence of prostatic hyperplasia, as an example, if you do not intervene, the pressure of the urethra will continue to worsen, the urine will become finer, the urine will not be far, and even obstruction will occur in the end, and the urine will not be able to urinate. As prostatic hyperplasia continues to worsen, frequent urination, especially nocturia, will occur. A few days ago, a patient he treated had to go to the toilet every hour during the day, and the urine was drip by drop, urinating very hard, and he had to get up to urinate 10 times when he slept at night!

Experts warn that in addition to the above problems, severe benign prostatic hyperplasia can lead to the following complications: hematuria (caused by straining to urinate), urinary incontinence, acute urinary retention (inability to urinate and pain), urinary tract infections, bladder stones, and even impaired kidney function. Therefore, it is recommended that men over the age of 50 have regular prostate examinations, and if there are changes such as frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty urinating, they should seek medical attention in time.

The diagnosis of prostatic hyperplasia is mainly based on the doctor's detailed questioning of the patient's symptoms, as well as the scoring of symptoms, and the following related tests can be completed: digital rectal examination (the doctor palpates the anorectum with a finger), ultrasound, urodynamics, and prostate-specific antigen test (PSA, blood test) to rule out prostate cancer.

3. How to protect the prostate in winter

(1) Drink plenty of water

Drinking less water can lead to concentrated urine and less frequent urination, which can adversely affect the prostate and other organs (kidneys, bladder, etc.). So in the cold season, although sweating is reduced, you should also drink more water.

(2) Don't hold your urine

Winter weather is cold, and many people are reluctant to climb out of their warm bedding to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. However, holding urine can overfill the bladder and compress the prostate, which can easily cause urine reflux and harm to the higher organs (kidneys and ureters) for patients with prostate disease.

(3) Quit spicy

Spicy foods such as wine and chili peppers have a stimulating effect on the prostate and urethra, which can cause temporary discomfort in the female private parts, and can also cause congestion and edema of the prostate and bladder neck, resulting in a decrease in prostate resistance. So, during the cold winter months, don't rely on eating spicy food and drinking a lot of alcohol to keep warm.

(4) Keep warm

Local warmth can reduce muscle tissue contraction, so that the prostate congestion and edema can be restored. Keeping warm can also prevent colds, as many cold medicines can worsen the symptoms of some prostate diseases.

The prostate is very important for us men, we must pay attention to maintenance in daily life, and if there are symptoms, we must seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the condition.
