Medical Video: Kidney & Bladder Health : How to Treat Frequent Urination
Frequent urination can occur due to cold air, too much drinking, or the use of certain drugs. But if it's not for all three, you need to feel worried. Because there are several diseases that make you urinate more often. What are the diseases?
1. Prostate cancer
This disease occurs due to the presence of cancer cells in the prostate gland which eventually makes the prostate become enlarged. Disease prostate cancer only happens to men.
One of the initial symptoms that appears in patients with prostate cancer is frequent urination. This frequency of urination is caused by urine being difficult to remove due to the prostate that enlarges and compresses the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body) and inhibits the flow of urine. This causes the bladder wall to contract easily.
The bladder starts to contract even when it contains a little urine causing the sufferer to urinate frequently. In addition to frequent urination, another symptom that arises is painful urination because it is difficult to remove followed by a burning sensation on the penis, the flow of urine becomes weak, and maybe there is blood in the urine.
2. Gonorrhea
This venereal disease is caused by bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae which is transmitted through the anus, penis, vagina, or mouth when having sex. If the person is male, without ejaculation the bacteria can move. This disease can be passed on to the baby if the mother is positive gonorrhea.
This disease can attack women and men. The symptoms of this disease will appear 11 to 14 days after infection. This disease causes sufferers often urinate or urinate pain.
In men the urine usually becomes white, yellow, or green, even suppurating and feels pain in the testicles. Whereas in women there will usually be a fever accompanied by vomiting and abdominal or pelvic pain, vaginal discharge that is yellow or green, and the vulva swells.
3. Urinary tract infections
This is a condition of infection that can occur in the urethra, bladder, ureter or kidney. When it affects the lower urinary tract, urinary tract infection can cause someone to feel the need to urinate at any time. The amount of blood even though a little in the urine can also be an indication. Urinary tract infections are more common in women because women have a shorter urethral tract, but men can also experience it.
4. Bladder cancer
The bladder is a hollow organ that collects urine from the kidneys through the ureter for storage, and is finally released from the body through the urethra. Bladder cancer is an abnormal growth of bladder cells which is usually more common in men.
Disease bladder cancer this is often characterized by frequent urination and the presence of blood in the urine. The cause of bladder kenker is usually exposure to carcinogens, such as cigarette smoke, for years.
5. Prostatitis
Unlike prostate cancer, prostatitis not cancer but inflammation that occurs in the prostate so the prostate becomes swollen and inflamed. This disease occurs due to bacterial infection. It can also occur as a long-term effect due to untreated urinary tract infections. The initial symptoms that arise are the urgent need to urinate usually at night, accompanied by pain when ejaculating.
How to prevent the disease?
To avoid some of these diseases, you need to maintain the cleanliness of the pubic organs both when having sex or after defecating or defecating. Cancer cannot be completely prevented because there are many risk factors that cannot be avoided, but you can reduce your risk by living a healthy lifestyle, away from cigarettes, alcohol, and unhealthy foods.
Whereas to prevent venereal disease, although circumcision has benefits to reduce diseases related to the penis or urinary tract, but is circumcised or not, you still have the potential to contract the disease if you have unprotected sex. Not only venereal disease, but also HIV. Always use condoms to make sex fun but still safe without having to be exposed to the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease.
