No one is immune from the pathologies of the genitourinary system, which often occur against the background of hypothermia, neglect of personal hygiene, various traumatic factors, etc.more often male urinogenital pathologies arise due to infection, age changes or oncology processes. Most often, the main sign of such pathological processes is a weak pressure when urinating, difficulty or too frequent urge to urinate. What pathological processes are characterized by the presence of such a symptom?
Why there is a violation
Unpleasant urination manifests in many men, especially such problems are of concern to middle-aged patients. With age in the male genitourinary system, many failures and functional changes occur, leading to the development of various pathologies and disorders.
Often the development of such disorders occurs in relatively young patients who are addicted to promiscuous sexual relationships that lead to the development of an infectious prostatitis. In general, in the urethra problems, the prostate is most often to blame, closest to the urethra. That is why, with the slightest changes in the prostatic tissues or pathological infectious inflammatory processes, the urethral compression may occur, which will cause a weak jet during urination.
About what diseases the weak pressure of urine
says So, the main causes of jet attenuation are prostatic diseases such as prostatitis, malignant and benign prostate tumors, etc. A complete picture of these diseases is needed for a complete picture of urination problems.
Prostatitis
Often, the cause of a weak pressure of urine is prostatitis. This pathology is most often found in patients of the average age of 30-45 years and is an inflammation of the prostate tissue. In general, the prostate gland is such an important organ that it is often called the second masculine heart. Experts believe that prostatitis develops as a result of prostatic stasis and low-tidal infections. Provoke stasis or infection in the prostate gland can be caused by:
- Sex infections transmitted through unprotected sex like gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, chlamydia, etc.;
- Undercooling caused by winter sports or being in a draft;
- Infectious processes in the genitourinary system like pyelonephritis, cystitis, etc.;
- Lack of activity, work associated with constant seating, not enough active life;
- Decreased immune defense, so that the body can not overcome the infectious attack;
- Stormy and intense sexual life;
- Lack of regularity in sex, frequent periods of sexual abstinence;
- Traumatic injuries of the perineal zone;
- Unhealthy habits and nutrition also have a negative effect on men's health.
In addition, prostatitis can be caused by frequent stresses, hormonal imbalance, frequent constipation, congenital structural abnormalities of the prostate, etc.
Prostatitis is characterized by the presence of manifestations such as frequent painful urination, pain syndrome affecting the anal region, groin, sacrum and perineum, problems with potency, hyperthermia, hyperpotency and weak urine stream. With neglected prostatic inflammation, this symptomatology is supplemented by excretions from the urethra, absence of orgasmic sensations, a constant feeling of fullness of the bladder, etc.
Prostate adenoma
Problems with urination in the form of a weak jet often occur even with adenoma. This pathology occurs mainly in mature 40-50-year-old men. Pathology is characterized by benign hyperplastic enlargement of prostatic tissues. Over the years, the size of the prostate gland is gradually increasing. A man, as a rule, does not notice this, because these processes are asymptomatic. As a result of this growth, the urethra passes overload, which disrupts the normal processes of the urine flow. As a result, pain symptoms appear and the pressure of urine weakens.
Often the symptoms are supplemented by intermittent urination, a feeling of incomplete emptying, drip discharge of urine at the end of the act of urination. Sometimes a man needs to strain a press to urinate normally. With advanced adenoma, chronic renal failure, urine retention, urolithiasis, etc. can develop. Therefore, timely treatment is necessary.
Prostate cancer
The most dangerous cause of weakening of the pressure of urine is prostate cancer. According to statistics, such a malignant cancer is found in every seventh man. The clinical picture of prostatic cancer has much in common with benign hyperplasia, which often leads to a belated address to specialists.
Prosthetic malignant oncology is characterized by polyethological origin. Finally, the causes of such a malignant disease have not been determined so far, however, experts call a number of pathological factors such as the elderly and DNA changes in prostatic cells, heredity, etc.
Prostate cancer, in addition to a weak pressure of urine, is accompanied by other pronounced manifestations:
- Frequent trips to the toilet;
- Interruption of the jet and its weakening;
- Residual urinary syndrome;
- A frequent urge to urinate;
- Burning and cutting pain when empty.
Similar symptomatology is often observed and with benign proliferation of the prostate gland, i.e. prostate adenoma.
Options for the treatment and prevention of
The therapeutic approach is based on the cause that caused a decrease in head when urinating. If the cause lies in the prostatitis, it shows the use of anti-inflammatory therapy, prostatic massage, hormonal treatment, antibiotic drugs in the form of rectal suppositories, etc. In this case, the list of prescription drugs is determined by the form of prostatitis( bacterial, etc.).
Prostate adenoma is treated with complex measures like medicines, physiotherapy, exercise therapy, diet therapy and massage. In particularly difficult cases, pathologies resort to surgical intervention. If the causes lie in prostatic cancer, then hormonal therapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the use of medications and treatment with monoclonal antibodies, virotherapy or surgical intervention are used. With timely access to the urologist, a man has all chances for a safe disposal of prostate cancer.
Prevention
Over the years, men are increasingly exposed to the development of prostatic pathologies, but with the right approach it is possible to significantly reduce the risk of such diseases. To begin with, it is necessary to eradicate all malicious habits like tobacco smoking, alcohol abuse, etc. It is proved that carcinogens and tar contained in cigarette smoke can partially accumulate in the prostate, which often leads to the development of tumor processes of varying degrees of malignancy.
An important moment is the rhythm of sexual life. Moderate activity in sexual relations will have a beneficial effect on the condition of the prostate. It is necessary to revise the diet, which must be enriched with micronutrients useful for men, vitamins and other necessary substances. Then prostatic pathologies will not touch you for a long time.
