What should men do if they urinate frequently?

What should men do if they have frequent urination? I believe many male friends have this worry, especially middle-aged and elderly male friends. Frequent urination and urgency reflect whether our kidneys are healthy. If we urinate frequently, it may mean that there is a problem with our kidneys. In addition to being related to our kidneys, what are the other reasons that lead to frequent urination? Let us learn about it together!

1. Reasons

1. Increased urine volume: When urine volume increases, the frequency of urination will also increase accordingly. Under physiological conditions, such as drinking a lot of water, eating watermelon, and drinking beer, due to the increase in water intake, through the regulation and filtering function of the kidneys, the urine volume increases, the frequency of urination also increases, and frequent urination occurs. Under pathological conditions, such as some patients with diabetes and diabetes insipidus, they drink a lot of water, have a lot of urine, and urinate a lot. But they do not feel any discomfort when urinating.

2. Inflammatory stimulation: When there is inflammation in the bladder, the nerve receptor threshold is lowered, the urinary center is in an excited state, resulting in frequent urination and reduced urine volume (<300-500 ml/time for adults). Therefore, frequent urination is an important symptom of cystitis, especially acute cystitis and tuberculous cystitis. Others, such as prostatitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis, chronic penile capitis in children, vulvitis, etc., can also cause frequent urination. Under the stimulation of inflammation, frequent urination, urgency, and pain often occur at the same time, which is called urinary tract irritation sign, commonly known as "tri-urination sign".

3. Non-inflammatory irritation: such as urinary tract stones and foreign bodies, usually with frequent urination as the main manifestation.

4. Reduced bladder capacity: such as bladder space-occupying lesions, pressure from an enlarged uterus during pregnancy, tuberculous bladder contractions, or larger bladder stones.

5. Psychoneural urinary frequency: Frequent urination only occurs during the day or before going to sleep at night. It is often caused by mental tension or hysteria. It may also be accompanied by urinary urgency and pain.

2. Frequent urination and urgency generally cause the following hazards

1. Prostatic hyperplasia: Prostatic hyperplasia is a common disease among middle-aged and elderly men. Dysuria and frequent urination are its common symptoms.

2 Urethritis: Urethritis can damage the male urethra, causing symptoms such as difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and urgency.

3 Urinary tract infection: > Male frequent urination, urgency and pain are likely to be caused by urinary tract infection. The causes are complex and there are many types. People who are prone to urinary tract infection need to pay more attention. 4 Prostatitis: Prostatitis is a common inflammatory disease of the male urinary system, which is more common in young and middle-aged men. Patients may experience frequent urination, urgency, white dripping after urination, incomplete urination, thin urine stream, and difficulty urinating. The treatment of chronic prostatitis is somewhat difficult and is prone to recurrence.

3. Classification

Daytime and nighttime frequent urination: frequent urination at night, often ≥ 2 times, accompanied by frequent urination during the day. The pathological mechanism is the regulation disorder of bladder urination function.

Arousal disorder type: still sleeping after wet urine, difficult to wake up, no frequent urination during the day. The pathological mechanism is the regulation disorder of nerve conduction function. Nocturnal polyuria type: large amount of urine at night, but few times of bedwetting, no frequent urination during the day. The pathological mechanism is the regulation disorder of nocturnal antidiuretic hormone secretion function. Mixed type: a. Daytime and nocturnal frequent urination + arousal disorder, b. Daytime and nocturnal frequent urination + nocturnal polyuria, c. Arousal disorder + nocturnal polyuria.

IV. Treatment

1. Bladder training therapy can enhance the nervous system's ability to control urination, reduce bladder sensitivity, and reverse abnormal urination habits.

2. Combined with drug treatment, use anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, analgesic, sedative, urine alkalizing and diuretic drugs.

3. For local medication, apply 2% silver nitrate to the urethra and bladder neck.

4. Block therapy: Block therapy is performed on the proximal urethra or bladder triangle.

5. Take small doses of estrogen for treatment as appropriate.

6. Poria cocos and peach kernel have therapeutic effects. Jin Yijian - Poria cocos and peach kernel.

In addition to these factors, it is also related to many diseases. So when this phenomenon occurs, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up in time to see if you have certain diseases. Early examination and timely treatment are the only way to avoid delaying the best treatment time and causing the condition to become more serious and more difficult.
