Urological advice for men is necessary for maintaining health. Patients can independently identify any changes in the genitourinary area. Do not self-medicate. To recognize the disease and the correct treatment it is necessary to consult a specialist. Many men are embarrassed or afraid to visit this doctor. This is an erroneous opinion. The urologist should be visited twice a year, even if there are no diseases.
What problems can occur
There are many diseases that affect the genitourinary system. Doctors divide them into two main types:
- Bacterial or infectious;
- Non-bacterial.
The first ailments cause pathogenic microorganisms. They can affect the various organs and tissues of the patient. When influencing pathogens, the male develops a bacterial adenoma of the prostate, urethritis, pyelonephritis, cystitis and other dangerous diseases.
Non-bacterial forms of pathologies are dangerous for the patient. With such forms of disease in a man is difficult to identify the original cause of the disease. Urologists can not identify the cause with the help of various laboratory tests. Nebakterialnye illnesses manifest themselves in the transition to a chronic form. This makes it difficult to treat the patient.
What signs need to pay attention to
All diseases are accompanied by the appearance of any signs. Many patients do not always attach importance to them. This leads to a chronic course of the disease. Urologists are advised to seek help if the following symptoms occur:
-
Problems with urination; - Pain in the genital or lower abdominal cavity;
- Various discharge from the urethral canal;
- Problems in the genital area.
With a pathology of the urinary system, the man has various problems. The patient can feel frequent urge to empty the bladder, there is an involuntary discharge of urine. Many patients when visiting the toilet experience a feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder and pressure in the lower abdomen. Such symptoms indicate the development of prostatitis, cystitis or acute urethritis. If the patient is not provided with qualified care on time, the disease can cause various concomitant complications with health.
Pain in the genitals or the lower abdominal cavity indicates the presence of a man's disease. Patients take pain medications themselves. Such uncontrolled administration of drugs leads to the lubrication of the clinical picture of the disease and the problem of its diagnosis. If a man experiences constant pain during urination, sexual intercourse or act of defecation, he should seek help from a specialist. The urologist will be able to identify the cause in time and make an accurate diagnosis.
The discharge from the urethral canal is of a different nature. They can consist of inclusions of pus, serous fluid or have a grayish color. Various secretions indicate the presence of a dangerous infection in the body. The most frequent diagnosis, which is accompanied by purulent yellow-green discharge, is gonorrhea. This pathology is caused by pathogenic microorganisms. The patient should not try to solve this problem on his own. If treatment is not timely, the body may develop sepsis. This phenomenon leads to a fatal outcome.
It is worth paying attention to the presence of an unpleasant odor in the secretions. If there is such a sign, then we can talk about the concomitant infection.
This disease is called urethritis. Pathology is accompanied by severe pain and burning in the urethral canal. The patient experiences discomfort during sexual intercourse. Treatment is carried out with the help of various antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Problems in the genital area arise due to the development of various ailments in the genitals. The patient can develop diseases of the testes, the vas deferens or the prostate. These pathologies lead to problems with conception and a decrease in the patient's libido. For treatment it is necessary to consult with the urologist and andrologist, since the reasons can be different.
Causes affecting the development of the pathology of the genitourinary system
Diseases of the genitourinary system in men can develop under the influence of various causes. Urologists identify the following common causes:

Many problems with the genitourinary system occur in men under the influence of hormonal background. Hormones can change their qualitative and quantitative composition under the influence of various factors. Adolescents are more likely to develop diseases on the background of a failure of hormones. At adolescence, the boy has an increase in hormones that affect secondary sexual characteristics. The patient's voice changes, vegetation on the body appears, there is a sexual attraction. This burst lasts 2-3 years and passes by itself. Other hormonal changes require medical intervention.
Infection with pathogenic microorganisms occurs through soft tissue or cuts. Microbes cause the development of prostatitis, urethritis and other severe ailments. Such diseases can be detected only by laboratory examination of a smear taken from the urethral canal of a man. Urologists advise in advance to prepare for an unpleasant procedure. The patient should observe sexual rest, the rules of personal hygiene. The day before the procedure, you should refrain from washing the body with antibacterial gels.

Problems in the cardiovascular system, diabetes, gastrointestinal pathology affect the state of the genitourinary system. Especially the male genital organs are affected. In diabetes mellitus, the patient develops such diseases as stricture, varicocele, hydrocele or dropsy, urethritis. These ailments require medical supervision and long-term treatment.
The modern world offers people a lot of different computer and technological achievements. This leads to a prolonged finding of a person in a sitting posture. Small physical activity of the man leads to a slowing of blood circulation in the small pelvis. There is a malnutrition of the pelvic organs and the development of various concomitant diseases.
Many men are fans of junk food and alcoholic beverages. Long-term abuse of fatty, fried foods and alcohol disrupts the work of the internal organs of the whole organism. The man begins to suffer from excess body weight. Urologists advise such patients to seek additional advice from a nutritionist.
Various injuries of internal organs lead to their deformation or rupture. Treatment will be burned as medication and surgical. The patient with injuries is sent for ultrasound diagnosis. After the examination, the doctor selects the type of treatment.

If this is not possible, then you just need to clean the external genitalia under running water. It is necessary to change the underwear at least once every two days. Linen should be worn from natural materials. Close panties of synthetic tissue can rub or squeeze the genitals, which leads to the development of diseases. In case of sexual contact, a man should use an individual means of protection - a condom. It will protect the patient from the penetration of pathogenic bacteria and various sexually transmitted infections.
Proper nutrition plays an important role in maintaining the patient's health. Urologists are advised to follow a diet with excess body weight. For the health of the genitourinary sphere, doctors recommend dieting. Popular is the "salt-free" and "protein" diet.
