Men often experience painful urination. Doctors remind: don’t be careless, it is likely that four diseases are knocking at the door
Men’s physical fitness and self-regulation ability are naturally stronger, so they rarely encounter difficult health problems and can usually rely on the immune system to fend off minor illnesses, and if necessary, they can quickly relieve them by taking medications. This also leads to men rarely paying attention to their health and not taking any maintenance measures, so typically, when they reach a certain age, men’s health will plummet dramatically, and men’s average lifespan has always been shorter than that of women. Women have a unique body structure, so they are easily troubled by various gynecological inflammations, and men are the same, but usually do not receive much attention from men. However, it should be noted that experiencing painful urination should never be taken lightly.
Urinary tract infection
The urinary system is a very important water metabolism system in our body. Our body is constantly undergoing water circulation, and every organ’s operation consumes water, so we need to replenish our body with a large amount of water every day. Most of it is excreted in the form of urine, but once the urinary system has a problem, it can lead to bacterial growth, cause blockages in the urethra, and result in noticeable pain during urination.
How to prevent urinary tract infections
Firstly, promote internal water circulation. When urination frequency increases, the body’s waste and toxins can be timely excreted, which can prevent accumulation in the urinary system. Therefore, it is recommended to drink more water; also, avoid holding urine, and release it immediately once there is an urge.
High uric acid
High uric acid ranks fourth after high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids. Its occurrence is closely related to daily diet habits. If you usually like to eat various meats, hot pot, and seafood, the purine content in these foods is very high. When these enter the body, it is easy to increase uric acid levels. Prolonged high uric acid accumulation in the body can easily form crystals, causing blockages in the urethra and resulting in pain during urination.
How to prevent and relieve high uric acid
First, control daily food intake; try to eat less high-purine foods and consume more alkaline and high-water content foods, such as yam, pumpkin, winter melon, etc. They can neutralize acidic components and promote uric acid excretion. Additionally, regular exercise can effectively enhance the body’s metabolism.
Prostate problems
The prostate can be considered a very important part of men, and it is also the most common problematic area for men. Many prostate diseases can lead to painful urination, such as prostatitis and prostate hyperplasia, among others. If not timely relieved, it can bring even greater troubles to men.
How to prevent prostate problems
Firstly, men must pay attention to personal hygiene, take regular showers and change clean undergarments promptly within a maximum of 2-3 days. Also, choose well-fitting undergarments made of breathable materials.
Urinary stones
Urine contains not only water but also waste and toxins generated during the metabolism of various organs. If there are behaviors like prolonged sitting or holding urine, urine may stay in the body for a long time. This can breed bacteria, leading to the formation of difficult-to-metabolize sediments, which can accumulate over time and form stones, causing pain during urination.
How to prevent urinary stones
Firstly, avoid the habit of holding urine and try to avoid prolonged sitting. Take a break every hour of continuous sitting. Also, pay attention to dietary combinations. Do not consume high-calcium foods together with green foods, as the calcium elements and oxalic acid inside may easily react and form sediments.
