In old age, people often have nocturia and frequent urination. Sometimes they have to get up many times in a night, with more times and less flow. Even just after going to the toilet and returning to bed, they have to pee again, which is very annoying to the brain and seriously affects sleep. This is mainly due to the fact that once people reach old age, the muscles dedicated to urination become flabby and weak, the contractile force of urethra is weakened, the bladder and urethra appear degenerative changes, the elasticity of bladder becomes poor, the volume is reduced, and the number of urination is increased; some of them are caused by prostatic hypertrophy, prostatitis and chronic urethritis. In fact, it can prevent frequent urination from living habits.
No residual urine
There is always residual urine in old people's urination. Sometimes I feel drained, but some urine comes out after I leave the toilet. As we all know, urine is excreted from the bladder through the urethra, but when people are old, the muscles dedicated to urination will become slack and weak, and the contractile force of the urethra will be weakened, which makes every time after urination, there will always be residual urine in the urethra that cannot be flushed out. Male urethra is long, residual urine is more than female, and many old men have prostatitis or prostatic hyperplasia, so the phenomenon of unclean urine is more prominent. How can ability make residual urine discharge quickly? First of all, after urination, you should stop for a while, and shake the Yin at the same time, which can promote the residual urine to be discharged. Secondly, after each urination, gently massage and squeeze the perineum between the scrotum and anus with fingers, and the residual urine will be discharged quickly. People suffering from prostatitis or prostatic hypertrophy often have certain therapeutic effect by massage. In addition, regular exercise to do anal movements, but also can enhance the pudendal muscles and micturition muscle contraction, increase micturition strength, reduce residual urine in the urethra.
It is recommended to urinate once an hour
When and how often do people urinate? There is no set rule. It is customary to go to the toilet when the bladder is full. But now it's said that if you don't want to have cystitis or live with bladder cancer, you need to remember the latest advice from medical experts: urinate once an hour, no matter whether you feel like urinating or not.
Squat urination
Squatting urination can cause a series of muscle movements and related reflexes, accelerate the removal of intestinal waste, and shorten the retention time of feces in the intestine. It can reduce the reabsorption of carcinogens such as hydrogen sulfide, indole, and stink, so as to protect intestinal mucosa from carcinogens. Relevant data show that the cancer incidence of squatting men is 40% lower than that of standing men, which is one of the mysteries of the low incidence of cancer in Indian men who are used to taking squatting position to urinate.
