How to develop proper urination habits

Prostatitis, urinary tract infection, prostate enlargement, bladder cancer and other urinary system diseases, accompanied by urinary discomfort (urinary frequency, urinary urgency, urinary pain, incomplete urination, hematuria, etc.), damage to their own functions, seriously affect the quality of life, and even life. The reasons for this are as follows: (1) Women have a special anatomical position in the perineum, the urethra is close to the vagina and anus, and the urethra is short, so bacteria can easily invade; (2) secretions from the vulva, leukorrhea and menstrual blood are good cultures for bacteria, which are conducive to the growth and reproduction of bacteria; (3) middle-aged and elderly women after menopause, because of changes in the internal environment and changes in the pH of the vulva, there is a lack of inhibition of bacterial growth. (3) after menopause, because the internal environment changes, the pH of the vulva changes, the lack of inhibition of bacterial growth, more prone to urinary tract infection. 2, men: (1) age, the prostate gland is also followed by large, the passage of urination is blocked by the enlarged prostate gland, urination effort, urine line thinning, urine dripping; (2) recurrent episodes of prostatitis, lower abdominal pain, painful urination, increased urination, urethra “dripping white”; (3) sitting for a long time, the prostate, urethra and other pressure The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the actual situation. In fact, pay more attention to some details of life, such as the correct urination habits, you can largely reduce the occurrence of the above-mentioned diseases. 1, drink more water, urinate: the so-called “flowing water does not rot the household pivot is not worm-eaten”, the urinary system, which specializes in excretion of human waste “sewer” also because of a variety of human material intake environment worry, if there is a sufficient amount of clear urine to increase the opportunity to flush the urethra, on If there is a sufficient amount of clear urine to increase the opportunity to flush the urethra, it can bring out more waste and bacteria, to maintain a hygienic urinary environment, the amount of water to maintain at 2-3 liters a day is appropriate; 2, urination also pay attention to hygiene: women can wipe the anus from the front to the back after urination to prevent intestinal bacteria into the urethra; men and women should urinate as soon as possible after sex; men to maintain lower body hygiene, change underwear, improve the humid environment of the lower body, circumcised people need to frequently turn up the foreskin to clean the white prepuce 3. It is not advisable to sit down immediately after urination. The physiological structure of the male is special, the urethra is long, starting from the urethral orifice and ending at the urethral orifice at the tip of the penis head, adults are about 18 cm long, the whole process can be divided into three parts: the prostate (through the prostate), the membrane (through the urogenital diaphragm, about 1.2 cm long) and the spongy part (through the urethral spongy part), after urination, the inner and outer sphincter of the urethra will close, so that the prostate The male urination has always been standing to pee, while women are generally squatting to go to the toilet, which is also considered by some men as a benchmark for the specificity of men and women. But for older men, I suggest that it is best to squat to urinate, because squatting to urinate can cause a series of muscle movements and their associated reflexes, which can accelerate the elimination of intestinal waste, shorten the residence time of feces in the intestine, and reduce the role of the intestine in the absorption of carcinogens. In addition, older men generally have more nocturnal urination because of prostate enlargement, have the habit of urinating at night, there may be urinary syncope, in order to avoid the chance of the above-mentioned adverse events, should also try to take squatting urination. 5.Don’t hold urine. According to research reports, the incidence of bladder cancer is directly proportional to the time of urine retention in the bladder. One of the possible factors to consider is that there are cancer-causing chemicals in the human metabolites in urine, which can largely damage the muscle fibers of the bladder and cause it to become cancerous. Our beloved Premier Zhou also passed away from bladder cancer because of his long and heavy work, often unable to leave to solve the three urgent matters on some important occasions. In addition, holding urine fills the bladder, which increases bladder pressure. If not discharged in time, urine will flow back toward the prostate, ureter, and kidney, bringing bacteria that may invade these parts, causing urinary tract infections, and the longer the urine stays, the more bacteria multiply. The power of popularization lies in the “cure for the untreated”, the act of urinating is instinctive, but the correct posture and habits are individual differences, I always tell patients: we have standardized and mature plans for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, experienced doctors, but the prevention and rehabilitation of diseases can only depend on yourself, I am only responsible for telling you the correct way. I am only responsible for telling you the correct way.
