What are the Reproductive Diseases of Older Adults

Diseases of the reproductive system in old age are divided into diseases of the male reproductive system in old age, such as prostate hyperplasia, and diseases of the female reproductive system in old age, such as genital tract sensations and tumors. 1. Diseases of the male reproductive system in the elderly: since there is a certain overlap between the male reproductive system and the urinary system, some of the diseases belong to both the reproductive system and the urinary system. (1) Prostatic hyperplasia: it is a common genitourinary system disease in elderly men, and its typical symptoms include urinary dribbling, incomplete urination and other urinary difficulties, which can lead to acute urinary retention in severe cases. (2) Urinary tract infection: its main manifestations are increased frequency of urination, feeling of incomplete urination, pain during urination, etc., which may also be accompanied by symptoms such as hematuria. (3) Others: they also include renal failure, stones, nephrotic syndrome, renal insufficiency and other diseases of the genitourinary system. 2. Reproductive System Diseases in Elderly Women (1) Reproductive tract infections: The prevalence of reproductive tract infections among elderly women in urban areas is lower than that in rural areas. Chronic cervicitis, senile vaginitis and other diseases have a higher prevalence of reproductive tract infections among elderly women. (2) Tumors of the reproductive system: Some reports show that uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, cervical cancer, breast lumps, etc. are more common in the elderly. (3) Others; due to the decline of body function and tissue elasticity, diseases such as uterine prolapse and bulging of vaginal wall may also occur. If you suspect any of the above diseases of the reproductive system, it is recommended that you go to the hospital in time.
