People often say a joke after tea, men as they grow older, reading the newspaper more and more distant, peeing more and more close. Although it is a joke, but reflects the objective reality. As the bladder’s ability to urinate weakens, and urethral resistance is increasing, the outflowing urine line is both thin and weak, and may end up dripping urine on the tips of their shoes. So, why don’t older men pee as much and as far as that peeing child? In fact, as men age, urination is not only a problem of weak urination, but also a series of urinary problems such as increased urination, urgency, incontinence and incomplete urination, dripping, waiting and interruption. I have made a survey 2 years ago, the age from 30 to 80 years old, the results found that the older the male, the more problems in urination, the more serious the impact on life. Checking the foreign literature, there are many similar research studies that come to the same conclusion. Urination is a physiological phenomenon that plays a very important role in maintaining the body’s water-electrolyte balance and expelling metabolic waste and toxins from the body. Normal urination should not exceed 8 times in 24 hours, and after sleep it is usually necessary to get up and urinate no more than once without waiting, urinating smoothly and emptying at once. A urination cycle is divided into two stages: the storage period and the voiding period. Most of the time, people store urine by the bladder, and when urine is stored to a certain extent, the urge to urinate will arise, which can generally be restrained under normal circumstances, and the bladder can continue to store urine, and only when the urge to urinate is stronger does it need to be voided, and the time to urinate is very short, usually not more than 30 seconds. Urinary problems such as frequent urination, urgency, increased nocturia or urge incontinence occur in the storage phase and are clinically referred to as storage phase symptoms, while difficulty, weakness, waiting, thinness, interruption and incomplete dripping are referred to as voiding phase symptoms. Both storage phase symptoms and voiding phase symptoms worsen with the age of men. It was found that the frequency of urination, increased nocturia and urgency in the storage phase symptoms have a greater impact on the quality of life than the voiding phase symptoms. Previously, medical practitioners looked at prostate diseases such as prostatitis, prostate enlargement or prostate cancer as the culprits of urinary distress in men, but now it is believed that many other factors such as bladder stones, overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis, radiation cystitis, urinary tract infections, primary bladder neck enlargement, urethritis, polyuria, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, lumbosacral disc disease, multiple sclerosis The same can be said for a range of urinary problems. Of course, factors other than prostate disease can also cause urinary troubles in women. Nevertheless, prostate disease is a common cause of abnormal urination in men. Studies have shown that urinary problems in older men are mainly caused by prostate enlargement, which is present in about 50% of men over the age of 50 and occurs in up to 90% of men over the age of 80. Clinically, about one-third of men over the age of 60 suffer from moderate to severe urinary problems, rising to 45% of men over the age of 70. In fact, prostate enlargement is often combined with the presence of prostatitis, while the incidence of prostate cancer, which is high in Western countries and has increased significantly in recent years in China, needs to be taken seriously. Men affected by urinary problems have a significantly lower quality of life, and treating the urinary and its complication problems associated primarily with prostate disease requires significant medical resources. When symptoms of abnormal urination occur, some people are overly fearful, while others take it lightly, both attitudes are undesirable. The right attitude is to go to a regular hospital and seek medical help to do the necessary tests, such as ultrasound of the urinary tract system, blood and urine laboratory analysis, and urine flow rate measurement, to find out the cause of the abnormal urination. Doctors will often treat the cause, at which point most of the urinary problems will improve or even disappear, while in a few cases these urinary symptoms do not improve significantly and need to be supplemented with multiple methods of treatment. Prostatic hyperplasia is the most common disease in older men and is the main cause of urinary problems in older men. Current treatments for prostate enlargement include wait-and-see, medication and surgery. When prostate enlargement is not serious and causes abnormal urinary symptoms that are not obvious and have little impact on quality of life, you can wait under observation and no special treatment is needed. When these urinary symptoms cause some distress and trouble in life, the doctor will recommend some medications to improve and reduce these annoying urinary symptoms, and these medications usually need to be taken for a longer period of time. Only when these bothersome symptoms become more and more severe, significantly affecting the quality of life and leading to complications such as urinary retention, bladder stones, hematuria, recurrent urinary tract infections, hernias or hemorrhoids, or even renal insufficiency, surgical procedures are often required for treatment. The most commonly used surgical procedure is transurethral resection of the prostate in various ways, and there are some special cases where doctors will recommend other methods such as laser surgery, microwave, radiofrequency, and stenting to deal with the problem.
