Nowadays, men pay more and more attention to the prostate. In our country, the incidence rate of prostate diseases is also increasing, especially for elderly men. Why? Because elderly men are the people with high incidence of prostate diseases, in which prostate hyperplasia accounts for a large proportion. In winter, prostate hyperplasia will become more serious. Therefore, we should prepare for our prostate for winter.
The winter weather is cold and dry. Because of this weather, patients with BPH should pay more attention in winter. In winter, the condition of elderly patients with BPH is very easy to deteriorate, and they are prone to frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination and other symptoms, which can cause acute retention, hydronephrosis, and lead to uremia and endanger life. It's getting cold, and elderly people with prostate hyperplasia often urinate frequently at night, ranging from 3-5 times to more than 10 times. Frequent urination not only interferes with sleep, but also often leads to colds due to frequent waking up at night. Many cold remedies available on the market can exacerbate symptoms of urinary tract obstruction, making it more difficult for elderly people with prostate hyperplasia who already have poor urination to urinate. To prevent prostate hyperplasia from endangering lives, experts remind elderly people with prostate hyperplasia to pay special attention to the following three points in winter:
First, when going out for activities or walks, do not sit on the cold benches in the park. Wear warm clothes, especially the lower body. Ensure that the underwear and sweaters in the lower body are warm, dry, and comfortable. Pay attention not to "sit down" on cold benches, stone benches, fitness equipment, or even on rocks and steps when going out to climb mountains.
Second, pay attention to protect the body, and try not to catch a cold. Although this is not our own the final say, we can prevent it. We should take cold medicine carefully. Whether it is urinating at night or going out for activities, the elderly with relatively weak physique should pay attention to cold and wind prevention to avoid catching a cold. Because once a cold occurs, many cold drugs will aggravate the dysuria of patients with BPH after taking them, and even cause acute urinary retention.
Third, don't hold your breath and urinate as soon as you can, as long as conditions permit. Just like some elderly men, they have to urinate once every half an hour, although it's not too much each time, but it's more enjoyable. "But when it's cold and lazy to go to the bathroom (especially those who need to go out to urinate due to living conditions), or when playing cards or mahjong, they always want to hold their breath for a while, resulting in the inability to urinate after a long time.". This is because holding urine affects the blood circulation in the prostate and bladder neck, exacerbating local edema, and resulting in dysuria.
Winter has come, elderly men, are you still worrying about your troubled prostate gland? The above three methods are really effective. You can try them and avoid making cold benches; To prevent yourself from catching a cold, take cold medicine with caution; You cannot hold your urine. If you achieve these points, I believe that your prostate hyperplasia will improve.
