We have a two-bedroom house in the city, and we are satisfied with our life after decades, we are close to work and buy food, everything is convenient, only one inconvenience is that there is only one toilet. In recent years, I and her mother often compete for that toilet, very embarrassing. In the morning, the first, often crash at night, to go out before always worry about the lack of toilet. My partner also often complains that I don’t come out once I’m in, so she’s about to pee her pants. Let’s all go to the doctor together and ask us what’s going on? Dr. Zhang asks: How old are you? I’m 60, just past my prime, and my partner is 5 years younger than me. And then he asked: How many years have you been urinating frequently and how did you do it? Is the frequency of urination of your partner the same as yours? I answered: different, I am heavy nighttime urination, serious when up seven or eight times a night, but also often feel difficult to urinate, urine line thin, long time to urinate, while my partner is more frequent during the day, especially out often looking for the toilet, and urinary urgency is very heavy, as soon as you want to go to the toilet, you can not wait, and occasionally also urinate pants. Dr. Zhang didn’t ask any more questions and gave us both an ultrasound and a urine test to go for a checkup, and because of the large number of patients we didn’t dare ask more questions and went for the checkup. I went to the examination room with a confused stomach and waited for the results of the examination. The results of the test came to Dr. Zhang. The first thing you need to do is to look at the results of the test. Dr. Zhang cleared his throat and began to announce our condition: I have prostate enlargement and my partner has chronic cystitis! Our mouths were open and we couldn’t turn around! How come we don’t have the same disease, the prostate disease? But our symptoms are the same, right? The actual fact is that the actual fact is that the particulars of the actual fact are not the same. I asked: How can this disease be diagnosed and how should it be treated? As the prostate is located at the beginning of the urethral outlet, when the volume of the prostate increases, it blocks the flow of urine, making patients feel difficulty in urination and thinning of the urine line, and in severe cases, complete inability to urinate serious consequences such as urinary retention, hydronephrosis and uremia. Oh! There are such serious consequences ah! Dr. Zhang went on to say: this disease is easily detected by doing ultrasound examinations. This is why older people need to have regular medical checkups, one for early detection of prostate enlargement for early treatment, one for regular checkups to monitor changes in prostate volume, and also to know if there are residual urine and hydronephrosis and other related complications caused by prostate enlargement. So when is it better to treat? The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. The earliest symptom of prostate hyperplasia is the unconscious appearance of increased nocturnal urination. Many people are inadvertently starting to get up at night, starting once, slowly getting up twice, three times, or even seven times eight times. When the prostate is found to increase in size and some symptoms appear, it is time to consider treatment. Oh! I have many older friends who have the habit of getting up at night and they don’t think so. Dr. Zhang went on to say that modern treatment for prostate enlargement is divided into three treatment principles: medication, surgery, and palliative care. The current medication has been able to shrink the prostate in 85% of patients, only a few patients need surgery, and some patients take palliative care because of physical reasons and fear of surgery. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on this. Oh! It turns out that women’s frequent urination is caused by different diseases than men’s. What diseases are caused by women? Dr. Zhang: Frequent urination in women is commonly caused by chronic inflammation, the most common being chronic cystitis, which is also often found during medical examinations. This disease can also be found in physical examinations? Dr. Zhang went on to say that many people have some urinary discomfort before the physical examination, such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, soreness and swelling in the perineum after urination, burning sensation, small stomach cramps, etc. Some people have no discomfort before the physical examination, and the traces of the disease can be detected through the urine test of the physical examination. What are the requirements for a urine test? What can be found in the urine test? Dr. Zhang: general physical examination is called urine test, send the urine sample for examination there are no special requirements, the morning urine or any time the urine can be collected, it is best not to leave the urine for too long, that will make the urine in the type of components dissolved affect the diagnosis. The result of the routine urine test with a large number of white blood cells is the basis for the diagnosis of urinary tract infection. Oh! So the urine sample test has such a great significance! What is the difference between urinary tract infection and cystitis? Dr. Zhang: Urinary tract infection is a general term for infections of the renal pelvis, ureter, bladder, and urethra, while cystitis is a diagnostic term for local inflammation of the bladder. When it is difficult to define the site of a urinary tract infection, it is collectively referred to as a urinary tract infection. Oh! So why are women prone to this disease and men not? Dr. Zhang: This is related to the physiological anatomy of women, because the female urethra is very short, from the urethral orifice to the bladder is only 5 cm long, and the outer orifice and genital tract together, it is easy for bacteria to invade and cause chronic infections. In contrast, men have a natural barrier, the outer mouth of the urethra to the bladder is 25 cm long, the cavity is curved, the outer mouth of the urethra independently will not be contaminated by other cavities, so the chance of urinary tract infection in men is significantly lower than in women. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on this. It turns out that frequent urination is caused by different diseases in men and women? Dr. Zhang: Yes, in fact, frequent urination is not only caused by different diseases in men and women, there are many other diseases that can cause frequent urination in men or women, such as diabetes, renal tuberculosis, uremia and so on. Therefore, if you have frequent urination, you need to go to the hospital for further examination and identify them one by one in order to make a clear diagnosis and get the right treatment. Oh! It seems that there is a deep knowledge in frequent urination, and medical examination is an important way to detect diseases at an early stage. For the sake of life continuity and healthy existence, we must pay close attention to every bit of change in our body, to detect and cure diseases in time, so that we can prolong our lives.
