For some middle-aged men, after the age of 40, they may experience a midlife crisis. The so-called midlife crisis refers not only to life and work but also to men’s health. As men age, they become very concerned about prostate problems, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate enlargement. If they develop prostatitis, it may become a long-term issue, causing inconveniences in daily life and work. When men urinate and do not experience these three symptoms, congratulations, your prostate is healthy!
Men, rejoice if you do not experience these three changes when using the toilet, your prostate is healthy!
1. Frequent urination and urgency
Due to increasing work and life pressures, many men experience prostate problems at a young age. If you notice persistent frequency and urgency in urination, it is likely a sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Especially at night, if you have increased nocturia and urinate very little each time, it is likely a warning sign from your prostate.
2. Urination difficulty
Prostate enlargement can lead to an increase in the size of the prostate gland, causing difficulty in urination. The enlarged gland increases urethral resistance, resulting in difficulty urinating and longer urination time. If you experience this symptom for an extended period, be cautious as it may indicate a problem with your prostate.
3. Urinary incontinence
Prostate enlargement can also lead to urinary incontinence during urination. If there is a significant residual urine volume in your bladder due to prostate enlargement, which increases bladder pressure above urethral resistance, it may result in urinary incontinence. In situations where men are startled during urination, acute urinary retention may occur.
