There were sudden drops in the past two days, and I suddenly felt like I was entering winter. But for patients with prostate hyperplasia, this is actually not good news. The typical situation is that has obvious symptoms in the past two days because acute urinary retention . suddenly urinate and cannot resolve the prostate hyperplasia patients who go to the hospital for treatment have increased significantly. What these patients are curious about is why suddenly drops in temperature, which is related to their prostate hyperplasia? Why did the urine situation, which was originally considered to be a living, suddenly worsen?
Let’s take a look today. Is cooling related to worsening symptoms of prostate hyperplasia? What should we pay attention to in winter?
Why do symptoms worsen in winter?
The temperature is low in winter, and the symptoms of prostate hyperplasia will worsen. There are several reasons. firstly, the low temperature and activity are reduced, causing the lesion site to muscle tension, vasoconstriction, and blood circulation to slow down, aggravate the prostate congestion and edema of , thus aggravating the symptoms and worsening the condition. In winter, the elderly would rather hold urine in the middle of the night than crawl out of bed to go to the toilet. This causes prostate stimulation and even affects bladder function . 3 is prone to colds in winter. After catching a cold, I don’t care when choosing cold medicines. However, many cold medicines will aggravate prostatic hyperplasia patients’ difficulty in urinating , and even directly lead to inability to urinate . Common drugs include cold-paced, quick-acting cold capsules, and the phenol-mememin tablets mentioned in my article before.
Selection of a basin helps promote blood circulation in the prostate
The warm temperature can relax the lesion muscles, dilate the blood vessels, and accelerate blood circulation, thereby alleviating the edema and congestion in the prostate, and temporarily unblocking the urethra. The decrease in activity in winter has caused many elderly people to sit for a long time, but in fact, sitting for a long time will aggravate the blood stasis and congestion and edema of the prostate.
Hot water bath is relatively simple. You can prepare a large basin of hot water, and the water temperature is controlled at about 40 degrees. Sitting in the basin, relax the anal sphincter and press the perineum and around the anus with your fingers in the water, once a day, for about 20 to 30 minutes each time. It can promote blood circulation in the prostate and is of great benefit to alleviating the symptoms of prostate hyperplasia.
Don’t hold your urine. You can choose oral medication to assist
Prostatic hyperplasia patients have the most headache in winter nights. It can be said that they get up at night and go to the toilet. . Patients with prostatic hyperplasia often get up more than 2 times at night, and some even have more times, so many patients choose to hold their urine. As mentioned earlier, this practice may aggravate the symptoms of prostate hyperplasia, so it is not advisable. First, you can drink water regularly by , for example, concentrate drinking water during the day, reduces the amount of water in the evening , which can effectively reduce the number of times you get up at night. is the second thing that can be used as an auxiliary drug . For example, tamsolosin can reduce the stimulation of the bladder by improving the degree of urination, thereby reducing the number of nighttime wakes.
Lifestyle adjustment
Many elderly people like to drink a sip of wine or two in winter, and they feel warm all over, But this will aggravate the congestion in the prostate and bladder and neck, and induce urinary retention . At the same time, spicy and stimulating foods such as chili and curry will also play the same role. Therefore, in winter, middle-aged and elderly people with prostate hyperplasia still need to choose a light diet of and eat more vegetables and fruits.
Summary: Prostate hyperplasia often worsens in winter, especially when the temperature drops sharply. We must pay close attention to it. In winter, we must do a good job of "warm" in the prostate.You can start by choosing a bath, assisted medication and improving living habits to reduce the risk of worsening symptoms.
