Do you have a headache when you urinate at night?

Under normal circumstances, men will not have an erection at night. They usually have morning erections in the morning. If you have an erection at night and urination is painful, you must pay attention to it. It is likely caused by a urinary tract infection or prostatitis. In fact, no matter which specific disease causes it, it needs to be treated as soon as possible, otherwise it is easy to cause the condition to worsen and miss the best treatment time.

1. Discomfort in and around the genitals

Patients with prostatitis often experience discomfort in the perineum, testicles, lower abdomen, posterior urethra, lumbosacral region, anus, groin, penis and glans. The perineum may feel heavy and swollen, and there may also be tingling or severe pain, which may radiate to the lower back and inner thigh. The pain may worsen during bowel movements or cause pain in the rectum, which is mainly caused by prostatitis stimulating the nerves in the pelvic cavity.

2. Urinary tract symptoms

Frequent urination, incomplete urination, dribbling urine, urinary pain, burning sensation in the urethra, urinary urgency, difficulty urinating, and yellow urine are common symptoms. People with difficulty urinating sometimes need to wait for more than ten seconds to discharge urine, and urination is intermittent, or even impossible to discharge urine. After drinking various alcoholic beverages, they often need to urinate once every 10-15 minutes. Dribbling urine is more common in middle-aged and elderly men, but it can also be common in young men who marry early and have frequent sexual intercourse. The main manifestation is that after urinating, a small amount of urine drips out of the urethra when putting on pants.

In the morning or during bowel movements, there is a thin, milky, watery or viscous discharge from the urethra, or there is spermatorrhea, premature ejaculation, hematospermia, ejaculation disorders, and loss of libido. Particularly serious hazards can cause male infertility, affect the secretory function of the prostate, affect the liquefaction time of semen, and reduce sperm motility, leading to infertility.

4. Mental symptoms: fatigue, depression, memory loss, decreased self-confidence, etc.

How to prevent prostatitis

1. Drink more water. Drinking more water will lead to more urination. High-concentration urine will stimulate the prostate. Long-term adverse stimulation is harmful to the prostate. Drinking more water can not only dilute the blood, but also effectively dilute the concentration of urine.

2. Don't hold your urine. Once your bladder is full and you feel the urge to urinate, you should urinate. Holding your urine is bad for your bladder and prostate. Before taking a long-distance bus, you should empty your bladder before riding. If you need to urinate urgently, you should tell the driver and get off the bus to urinate. Don't hold your urine.

3. Moderate sex life. To prevent prostate hypertrophy, you need to start paying attention from youth. The key is to have a moderate sex life, neither indulge in sex nor abstain from sex. Frequent sex will cause the prostate to be in a state of congestion for a long time, which will cause prostate enlargement. Therefore, especially in the youth when the sexual desire is relatively strong, you should pay attention to moderate sex life, avoid repeated congestion of the prostate, and give the prostate sufficient time to recover and repair. Of course, excessive abstinence will cause bloating and discomfort, which is also not good for the prostate.

5. Take a warm bath. Taking a warm bath can relieve the tension of muscles and prostate, and relieve discomfort. Taking a warm bath frequently is undoubtedly very beneficial for patients with prostate disease. If you use warm water to sit in the perineum 1-2 times a day, you can also get good results.

6. Keep it clean. The male scrotum is highly elastic and secretes a lot of sweat. In addition, the genitals are poorly ventilated, which makes it easy for dirt to accumulate. Local bacteria often take advantage of this opportunity to enter, which can lead to prostatitis, prostate hypertrophy, and decreased sexual function. If you don't pay attention in time, serious infection may occur. Therefore, insisting on cleaning the perineum is an important part of preventing prostatitis. In addition, it is necessary to insist on washing the external genitalia every time you have sex.

7. Prevent cold. Do not sit on the cool stone for a long time, because the cold can increase the excitement of the sympathetic nerves, leading to increased pressure in the urethra and causing reflux.

8. Avoid friction. Friction in the perineum can aggravate prostate symptoms and cause patients to feel obvious discomfort. To prevent harmful local friction, you should ride less bicycles, and not ride bicycles or motorcycles for long periods of time or long distances.

9. Adjust your lifestyle. Try not to drink alcohol and eat less spicy foods such as peppers and ginger to avoid repeated congestion of the prostate and bladder neck and aggravation of local bloating. Since constipation may aggravate the symptoms of prostatic bloating, it is advisable to eat more vegetables and fruits to reduce the occurrence of constipation. If necessary, use drugs such as Ma Ren Wan to help defecate.
