Bloody Urine?—Hematuria<\/a><\/h3>
Hermina friends, have you ever heard of someone or experienced urine containing an unusual color or bloody urine? This condition is characterized by a change in the color of the urine to brownish or reddish due to the presence of blood mixed in the urine. \n\n \n\n Bloody urine, also known as hematuria, is made up of blood cells or blood present in the urine. The discovery of blood in the urine is an abnormal condition, either macroscopically or microscopically. Microscopically marked by the color of urine, it looks clear, but there are blood cells found in urine examination through a microscope. Macroscopic is clearly visible to the eye because there is a change in the color of urine to reddish, brownish, or bright red. This case is more common because patients can recognize it immediately. \n\n \n\n Causes of Hematuria \n\n Hematuria can be caused by various factors but is generally caused by diseases related to the urinary tract or kidneys, among others: \n\n \n Urinary tract infection.

Let's recognize the signs of urinary tract stones and how to treat them<\/a><\/h3>
More than 90 percent of your urine is water. The rest contains minerals, such as salts, and waste products, such as proteins. Concentrated urine itself varies in color, ranging from dark yellow to brown, depending on the type of waste and minerals it contains. \n\n Concentrated urine is often caused by dehydration or the inability to empty the bladder completely. This may be due to an enlarged prostate, bladder problems, or a urinary tract infection (UTI). \n\n Definition \nUrinary tract stones are stones that get stuck in the urinary tract, be it in the kidneys, ureters, or urethra. It is one of the diseases of the human urological system. \n\n Urinary tract stones are made of salts and minerals in the urine that stick together and form stones. Most stones are small pebbles and are usually painless when they remain in the kidneys. \n\n Urinary tract stones are a fairly common disease. In fact, it is the third most common disease in urology after urinary tract infections and BPH (benign prostate enlargement). \n\n Unfortunately, data on patients with urinary tract stone disease has not been well recorded in Indonesia. However, it is estimated that around 0.6% of the Indonesian population suffers from kidney stones that may be related to this disease. \n\n Features and Symptoms \n\n \n Severe pain in the side and back, under the ribs. \n Pain that radiates to the lower abdomen and groin. \n Pain that comes in waves and fluctuates in intensity. \n Pain when urinating. \n Urine that is pink, red, or brown in color. \n Cloudy or foul-smelling urine. \n Nausea and vomiting. \n Urinating more frequently than usual. \n Fever and fever if there is an infection. \n Urinating in small amounts. \n \n\n \nRisk Factors \n\n \n Personal or family history. If someone in your family has kidney stones, you are more likely to get urinary tract stones too. If you have also had one or more kidney stones, you have a higher risk of developing urinary tract stones again. \n Dehydration Not drinking enough water every day can increase a person's risk of developing urinary stones. People who live in warm climates and those who sweat a lot may be more at risk than others. \n Certain diets. Following a diet high in protein, sodium and sugar can increase the risk of developing certain types of kidney stones (including urinary tract stones). The risk is even greater if you have a high-sodium diet. Too much sodium in the diet increases the amount of calcium that the kidneys have to filter and significantly increases the risk of urinary tract stones. \n Obesity High body mass index (BMI), large waist size, and weight gain have been associated with an increased risk of urinary stones. \n Digestive diseases and surgeries. Gastric bypass surgery, inflammatory bowel disease, or chronic diarrhea can cause changes in the digestive process that affect calcium absorption and cancer, increasing levels of stone-forming substances in the urine. \n Other medical conditions. Diseases and conditions that can increase the risk of urinary tract stones include renal tubular acidosis, cystinuria, hyperparathyroidism, certain medications and some urinary tract infections. \n \n\n Diagnosis \n\n \n Blood test: Blood tests can tell if there is too much calcium or uric acid in your blood. Blood test results help monitor kidney health and may allow doctors to check for other medical conditions. \n Urine Tests: A 24-hour urine collection test can show if the body is removing too much stone-forming minerals or too little stone-preventing substances. For this test, the doctor may ask you to undergo two urine collections on two consecutive days. \n Imaging. Imaging tests can show stones in your urinary tract. Options range from abdominal X-rays to high-speed or dual-energy computerized tomography (CT) that can show the presence of very small stones. \n Other imaging procedures. These include ultrasound, non-invasive tests, and intravenous urography (intravenous pyelogram), or CT imaging (CT urogram) using a contrast media compound that can clarify the image of your urinary tract. \n Analysis of removed stones. You will be asked to urinate through a filter that will catch the expelled stones. The doctor will then examine the stones in the lab. \n \n\n Treatment \n\n \n Drink water. Drinking as much as 2-3 liters of water a day can help cleanse your urinary system. Unless your doctor recommends otherwise, drink enough fluids (especially water) to produce clear or almost clear urine.Pain relief. \n Removing kidney stones may cause discomfort. To relieve mild pain, your doctor may recommend pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others), acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or naproxen sodium (Aleve). \n Medical therapy. Your doctor may give you medication to help you pass the kidney stones. This type of medication, known as alpha blockers, relaxes the muscles in the urinary tract, helping you pass the kidney stone more quickly and with less pain. \n Surgical Procedure. Extracorporeal shock wave lithostripsy (ESWL), Surgical removal of kidney stones, Ureteroscopy, Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) \n \n\n Prevention \n\n \n Drink water throughout the day \n Reduce consumption of oxalate-containing foods \n Choose a low salt diet \n Reduce animal protein intake \n Ensure calcium needs are well met \n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Effect of Varicocele on Male Fertility<\/a><\/h3>
Infertility or fertility disorders are not only experienced by women. Men can also experience this condition. Infertility in men is a condition where a man has difficulty getting a woman pregnant. This is caused by various problems in the male reproductive system, which interfere with the production, movement or function of sperm. \n\n One of the causes of infertility in men is Varicocele. \n\n As many as 25-35% of men who experience primary infertility and 50-80% of men with secondary infertility experience varicocele. \n\n What is Varicocele \n\n Varicocele is a condition of enlarged veins in the scrotum (scrotal sac). Widening occurs because there is an obstruction to blood flow so that blood flows back into the scrotum. Varicocele is similar to varicose veins in the legs, the only difference is the location. \n\n Varicoceles generally occur on the left side because the structure of the blood vessels allows them to be squeezed by other blood vessels and the pressure inside them is greater, however, almost 50% of sufferers with varicoceles experience it on both sides. Varicoceles are estimated to be found in approximately 15% of men in the general population, with the majority being found in those of reproductive age. The risk of varicocele increases up to 8 times greater if you have a family history of varicocele. \n\n Causes of Varicocele \n\n The cause of varicocele is still unknown. The main cause is still unclear. \n\n Some theories say it is caused by the anatomical condition of the vein itself, or an obstacle to return flow, so that blood collects in the scrotal sac area. \n\n Varicocele Symptoms \n\n Generally does not cause complaints, depending on the grade of varicocele. But it can also be found \n\n Pain or discomfort in the scrotal area \nComplaints worsen when standing, improve when lying down \nIn severe varicoceles there is an appearance like a sac of worms in the scrotum which can be felt or even seen. \nImpaired fertility \n\n \nHow to Confirm a Varicocele Diagnosis? \n\n The Urology Specialist will carry out a physical examination, namely touching the scrotum area, and it will be found that there are objects such as lumps of worms in severe degrees. If it is not visible, the doctor will ask you to push so that you can see the widening of the vein. \n\n The examination can be carried out with an ultrasound examination (ultrasonography) of the scrotum to determine the degree of varicocele. Another examination could be sperm analysis to look for infertility problems. \n\n \n\n Impact of Varicocele \n\n The testicles are outside the body to get a lower temperature than body temperature, which is needed to form optimal sperm. If dilation occurs and blood flow is not smooth, the temperature in the scrotum will increase due to blood buildup. This will disrupt the sperm formation process and cause a decrease in sperm quality in terms of quantity (oligozoospermia), shape (teratozoospermia), movement (motility) and function. \n\n How to Treat Varicocele? \n\n Surgery is the treatment for varicocele but not all cases require surgery. Mild varicocele with pain, the doctor will give anti-pain medication (paracetamol). \n\n Surgery is carried out on severe varicoceles, there is interference with the results of sperm analysis, the patient experiences fertility problems. The following is the treatment for varicocele, namely as follows: \n\n Surgery (Varicocelectomy) \nEmbolization \n\n \nIf you experience fertility problems, one of which is varicocele, you can consult with a urology specialist at Hermina Bekasi Hospital. \n\n Download the Halo Hermina application to make an appointment with specialist doctors at Hermina Bekasi Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Role of Uroflowmetry in Assessing Prostate Function and Urinary Tract Disorders in Men<\/a><\/h3>
Hello Hermina’s friends, Did you know that urinary tract health is an important aspect of maintaining a person's quality of life, especially for men? Urinary tract disorders can be a serious problem and affect comfort and the quality of daily life. One of the diagnostic tools used to evaluate prostate function and urinary tract problems in men is uroflowmetry. This article will discuss the important role of uroflowmetry in assessing prostate function and urinary tract disorders in men. \n\n \n\n What is uroflowmetry ? \n\n Uroflowmetry is a diagnostic procedure used to measure urine flow when a person urinates. This procedure involves the patient urinating into a device called a uroflowmeter, which automatically records the volume and speed of urine flow. The data generated from uroflowmetry provides valuable information about how the urinary tract functions. \n\n \n\n Uroflowmetry and Prostate Function \n\n The prostate is a small gland located under a man's bladder. One of the common problems associated with the prostate is prostate enlargement, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH can cause symptoms such as a weak urine stream, frequent urination, and difficulty starting or stopping the flow of urine. \n\n \n\n Uroflowmetry can help doctors assess prostate function. In men with BPH, urine flow is often slow and inconsistent. Uroflowmetry results showing low and irregular urine flow can be an indication of prostate problems. \n\n \n\n Uroflowmetry and urinary tract disorders \n\n Apart from prostate problems, uroflowmetry is also used to identify various urinary tract disorders in men, such as urinary tract infections, kidney stones, or anatomical abnormalities. Doctors can look at urine flow patterns to identify possible problems in the urinary tract. \n\n \n\n Benefits of Uroflowmetry \n\n \n Early Diagnosis: Uroflowmetry can help in the early diagnosis of urinary tract and prostate problems. The sooner this problem is identified, the better the chances of a cure. \n Assessment of Treatment Effectiveness: If a man has undergone treatment for prostate problems or urinary tract disorders, uroflowmetry may be used to monitor the response to the treatment. This allows the doctor to adjust the treatment plan if necessary. \n Surgical Treatment Planning: If the uroflowmetry results show a serious problem that cannot be resolved with conservative treatment, the doctor may refer the patient for appropriate surgical treatment. \n \n\n \n\n Uroflowmetry is a very useful diagnostic tool for evaluating prostate function and urinary tract disorders in men. By providing accurate information about urine flow, uroflowmetry can assist doctors in early diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning. If Hermina's friend experiences problems urinating or has worrying symptoms, consult a urologist to determine whether uroflowmetry is needed to assess your condition. Urinary tract health is a very important thing to pay attention to, and examinations such as uroflowmetry can help maintain your quality of life. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Is a urinary tract infection dangerous? Here are 5 facts you should know!<\/a><\/h3>
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a condition in which the organs belonging to the urinary system become infected. These organs can be the kidneys, ureters, urethra, or bladder. But urinary tract infections generally occur in the urethra and bladder. Starting from the kidneys, residual substances in the blood are filtered and excreted in the form of urine, which then flows from the kidneys through the ureters to the bladder. After being accommodated in the bladder, urine will be excreted out of the body through a channel called the urethra. Urinary tract infections occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract through the urethra. After that, bacteria multiply in the bladder. If left untreated, bacteria can cause infections in the kidneys. \n\n Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a condition that often occurs and can happen to anyone. Even though it looks trivial, UTIs can actually be dangerous if not treated properly. Here are 5 important facts about UTIs that you should know: \n\n 1. UTIs can affect anyone, but women are more susceptible to them because their urethra (urinary tract) is shorter, making it easier for bacteria to enter the bladder. In addition, the urine disposal hole is also closer to the anus and vagina, so it is prone to bacteria that stop by and breed there. Bacteria can enter the urethra in various ways. When having sex, bacteria in the vagina can be pushed into the urethra and end up in the bladder. In addition, the bacteria that cause urinary tract infections are also prone to entering the bladder when someone cleans defecation from the back to the front. \n\n 2. UTI symptoms are not always the same, depending on the location of the infection and how severe the condition is. However, the common symptoms that often appear are: \n\n - Urination feels painful, hot, or stings. \n\n - Constantly urinating frequently but little or no urine comes out; \n\n - Fever; \n\n - Frequently wakes up at night with the urge to urinate; \n\n - Stomach below the navel hurts; \n\n - Urine smells bad; \n\n - Urine looks more cloudy or red because there is blood; \n\n - Nausea and vomiting; \n\n - Back pain \n\n 3. Do not take UTI symptoms lightly, because if not treated properly, the bacteria can spread to the kidneys and cause a more serious kidney infection. Kidney infections can cause permanent damage to the organ. \n\n 4. There are several factors that can increase a person's risk of getting a UTI, such as poor hygiene, a history of previous UTIs, menopause in women, abnormalities in the urinary tract, or a weak immune system. \n\n 5. To prevent UTIs, there are several actions you can take, such as maintaining personal hygiene, drinking enough water, urinating as soon as you feel the urge to urinate, and avoiding using chemical products that have the potential to damage the pH balance in intimate areas. \n\n Don't ignore the symptoms of a UTI and immediately consult a urologist at Hermina Depok Hospital if you experience these symptoms. Remember that prevention is always better than treatment, so always maintain your health and personal hygiene to avoid the risk of dangerous UTIs! \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Understanding Prostate Cancer and Its Treatment<\/a><\/h3>
What is Prostate Cancer? \n\n \nProstate cancer is a prevalent form of cancer found in men. It occurs when cells within the prostate gland grow abnormally, leading to the formation of malignant tumors. While the exact causes of prostate cancer are not fully understood, several risk factors have been identified. In this article, we will discuss the causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment of prostate cancer. \n\n \nCauses of Prostate Cancer \n\n \nThe causes of prostate cancer are still the subject of intensive research. However, factors such as advanced age, a family history of prostate cancer, genetics, and exposure to certain hormones are believed to play a role in increasing the risk. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as a diet rich in saturated fats and a lack of physical activity, can also contribute to the development of prostate cancer. \n\n \nSymptoms of Prostate Cancer \n\n \nEarly symptoms of prostate cancer are often unnoticed or difficult to identify. In the early stages, some men may experience symptoms such as difficulty urinating, weak urine flow, or frequent urination, especially at night. These symptoms can be caused by non-cancerous prostate enlargement, but they should also be taken into consideration. In advanced stages, prostate cancer can cause pelvic pain, difficulty achieving an erection, or blood in urine or semen. \n\n Prevention of Prostate Cancer \n\n \nPrevention plays a crucial role in reducing the risk of prostate cancer. Several steps can be taken, including maintaining a healthy diet by consuming foods low in saturated fats and high in fiber, as well as increasing physical activity. It is also important to maintain a healthy weight and avoid smoking. Undergoing regular health check-ups and consulting with a doctor regarding the risk of prostate cancer is highly recommended. \n\n What Are the Treatment Options? \n\n \nThe treatment of prostate cancer depends on various factors, including the patient's age, cancer stage, and overall health. Some common treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, or active surveillance. Each treatment method has its own advantages and risks, and the best decision should be made after consulting with an experienced medical team. \n\n In addition to conventional treatments, research is ongoing to develop new therapies that are more effective and have minimal impact on the patient's quality of life. Innovative therapies such as immunotherapy and gene therapy are promising areas of research. However, it is important to remember that each case of prostate cancer is unique, and the treatment approach should be tailored accordingly. \n\n Take your prostate health seriously! Get screened for prostate cancer by a urology specialist at RS Hermina Podomoro. Obtain early diagnosis and the best treatment for your future. Be a resilient man and courageously face the challenges! \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Watch Out for Urinary Tract Infections<\/a><\/h3>
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a condition when an infection occurs in the organs included in the system, namely the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Urinary tract infection itself is an infection caused by microorganisms. Some are caused by bacteria, but some are caused by fungi or viruses. 90% of cases of urinary tract infection are caused by E.Coli bacteria. \n\n \nAccording to the National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NKUDIC), urinary tract infections are the second most common infectious disease after respiratory tract infections. This disease can attack from newborns to the elderly. This disease is more common in women than men. This is due to the shorter size of the urethra So it is easier for bacteria to gain access to the bladder. The symptoms of a urinary tract infection are: \n\n 1. The genitals are burning when urinating \n2. Frequent urge to urinate, even though a little urine comes out \n3. Pain or pressure in the lower back or abdomen \n4. Bloody urine or darker in color \n5. Strong-smelling urine \n6. More frequent urination at night \n7. Pain during sexual intercourse \n8. Feeling tired or shaking \n9. Fever or chills (indicates the infection may have reached the kidneys) \n\n Investigations carried out by a urologist to make a diagnosis, such as: \n1. Urine examination, to detect the presence of bacteria in the urine \n2. X-rays or ultrasound, to check for possible abnormalities in the bladder \n3. Cystoscopy, to see the patient's urinary tract. If needed, the doctor can use a cystoscope to take a tissue sample (biopsy) in the bladder and then examine it in the laboratory \n\n Here's how to prevent urinary tract infections, namely: \n- Not holding urine \n- Always clean the pubic area from front to back after urinating \n- Drink enough water (2-3 liters per day) \n- Sprays for cleaning the female area, deodorizers for the female area, and other products for the female area should be avoided because they will only irritate the mucosa \n- Clean the genital area before having intercourse. This aims to get rid of bacteria that have the potential to enter the urethra \n- Change your underwear every day \n- Do not use undergarments that are too tight because it will increase humidity \n\n The doctor will prescribe medicine to relieve pain, as well as reduce fever if there are complaints of pain and fever. If this condition occurs three times a year or more, check with your doctor so that a special treatment plan can be recommended. Mild bladder infections usually clear up on their own within a few days. \n\n Friends of Hermina, Don't be afraid to do urinary tract health screening periodically as a step for early detection of urinary tract health problems to a urologist at Hermina Hospital, Balikpapan. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Get to know the causes of frequent urination<\/a><\/h3>
Hello Hermina Friends, Urine is produced by the kidneys and is used to remove toxins, bacteria and harmful residue from the body. So, it can be said that urine is the most natural detoxification process.\n\nThe frequency of urination can vary for each person depending on how much fluid intake and activities are carried out in a day.\n\nThere are several reasons, including: \n\n 1. Drinking Too Much Water\n\nWhen you drink too much, your body will excrete what it doesn't need. Even so, everyone's water needs cannot be measured evenly depending on activity level, body weight, and health \n\n 2. Consuming Too Much Caffeine\n\nThe habit of consuming too much caffeine can cause frequent urination.\n\nCaffeine is a diuretic, which means it can increase the frequency of urination because diuretics increase the amount of salt and water excreted from the kidneys. So, even though drinking coffee and tea is good for health, you shouldn't consume too much of it. \n\n 3. Early Signs of Pregnancy\n\nIn the first trimester, blood volume will increase so that the kidneys must process excess fluid that evaporates in the bladder. Frequent urination is actually one of the early signs of pregnancy. This can continue in the second trimester until before delivery. You need to be careful if you feel pain or a burning feeling when you urinate, it could be a symptom of a urinary tract infection during pregnancy. \n\n 4. Urinary tract infection\n\nUrinary tract infections occur when bacteria, usually of intestinal origin, make their way to the bladder, urethra, ureters or kidneys. One of the symptoms is frequent urination accompanied by other symptoms such as pain when urinating, back pain, or blood appearing in the urine. \n\n 5. Symptoms of Diabetes\n\nIt turns out that frequent urination can be a symptom of type 1 and 2 diabetes.\n\nThis is caused by excess sugar that accumulates in the blood, which makes the kidneys work hard to filter and absorb it.\n\nOf course frequent urination is not the only symptom, there are other symptoms such as drastic weight loss, blurred vision, feeling constantly hungry, and having wounds that are difficult to heal. \n\n 6. Vaginitis\n\nVaginitis is also a cause of frequent urination. Vaginitis is a condition in which the vulva becomes swollen, inflamed and painful due to infection. Symptoms of vaginitis include pain and discomfort in the genitals, and frequent urination. When experiencing vaginitis, vaginal discharge is usually grayish white or greenish yellow, thick in texture, and smells fishy. \n\n 7. Overactive Bladder\n\nOveractive bladder (OAB) aka beser is when the bladder needs to be emptied more often than usual. OAB also makes us have to go back and forth to the toilet more than 8 times within 24 hours, as well as urinating in the middle of the night more than 1 time. \n\n 8. Bladder Stones\n\nSimilar to kidney stones, bladder stones occur when minerals in the urine combine and form small hard stones.\n\n- Frequent urination, especially at night\n- Lower abdominal pain\n- Pain when urinating\n- Bleeding when urinating\n- Urine is dark in color \n\n 9. Stress and Anxiety\n\nFrequent urination turns out to be caused by anxiety, nervousness, or stress.\n\nThis happens because the body's reaction when facing stress or other events that make us depressed.\n\nIf Moms often experience anxiety or stress in everyday life, find ways to deal with it so that the frequency of urination can return to normal. \n\n 10. Interstitial Cystitis\n\nThe next cause of frequent urination is interstitial cystitis (IC). IC is a chronic bladder infection that is often experienced by women.\n\nThe Interstitial Cystitis Association mentions signs of IC including:\n\n-Frequent urination during the day and night, severe conditions can reach 60 times a day to urinate\n-Unbearable urge to urinate\n-Pain in the lower abdomen and vaginal or penis area\n-Pain during sex \n\n 11. Menopause\nReducing estrogen levels during menopause can be a cause of frequent urination. Estrogen plays a role in supporting the sides of the bladder, so when estrogen decreases, we will urinate more frequently, even to the point where it is difficult to hold it in. \n\n Therefore, women who have started to enter the menopause phase will often go to the bathroom at night.\n\nGenerally, you will be advised by a urologist, when signs and symptoms are found that refer to diseases of the urinary tract or reproductive system.\n\nIn addition, you are also advised to see a urologist if you experience the following symptoms:\n\n-Pink, red, or brown urine\n-Lower stomach, back or waist pain, accompanied by nausea and vomiting\n-Pain when urinating\n-Always feel like urinating, even though you just urinated\n-Volume of urine is only small\n-Unable to hold back urination\n-There is a lump in the testicle\n-Sexual dysfunction\n-There are fertility problems in men \n\n \n\n If Hermina's friends feel complaints like the above, you can immediately consult with Dr. Her Bayu Widyasmara, SpU who practices at Hermina Mekarsari Hospital.

DON'T ASSUME NORMAL PEOPLE IS NOT CURRENT IN MEN<\/a><\/h3>
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition that causes swelling of the prostate gland. However, the condition is not cancerous, or the cells are abnormal. The prostate gland itself has a function to produce semen and is located in the hip cavity between the bladder and the penis. \n\n Risk Factors for BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) \n\n At least there are several conditions that can trigger BPH. Here are some risk factors to watch out for, namely: · \n\n \n Aging factor. An enlarged prostate gland rarely causes signs and symptoms in men under the age of 40. About a third of men experience moderate to severe symptoms by age 60, and about half have symptoms by age 80. · \n Family history, Having a biological relative, such as a father or brother, with prostate problems increases the risk of developing BPH. · \n Lifestyle. Obesity and lack of exercise can increase the risk of BPH. Therefore, it is important to exercise regularly. \n \n\n Causes of BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) \n\n Unfortunately, until now, the cause of BPH is not known with certainty. However, it is suspected that this condition occurs due to changes in sexual hormone levels due to aging. The male urinary system has a tube that excretes urine, otherwise known as the urethra. This urethral pathway passes through the prostate gland. If there is an enlargement of the prostate gland, it can narrow the urethra over time. The condition eventually causes the flow of urine to become blocked. This blockage will make the bladder muscles enlarge. \n\n Symptoms of BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) \n\n When a person has BPH, there are several symptoms that they may experience, such as: \n\n \n Frequent urge to urinate, especially at night. \n Experiencing urinary incontinence (beser) or a significant increase in the intensity of urination. \n Difficulty passing urine. · \n Straining while urinating. \n Stagnant flow of urine. \n Passing urine with blood. \n Feeling incomplete after urinating. \n \n\n These symptoms arise due to pressure on the bladder and urethra. This pressure occurs when the prostate gland becomes swollen or enlarged. Therefore, immediately see a doctor if you experience these symptoms. \n\n In the case of BPH, this condition is in dire need of a proper diagnosis. Because there are several other health conditions whose symptoms are similar to BPH. For example: \n\n \n Prostatitis or inflammation of the prostate. \n Urinary tract infection. \n Urethral narrowing. \n Kidney stones and bladder stones. \n Surgical scars on the bladder neck. \n Bladder cancer. \n Prostate cancer. \n Disorders of the nerves that regulate bladder activity. \n \n\n Diagnosis of BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) \n\n To diagnose this disease, the doctor will conduct a medical interview to find out the symptoms experienced by the patient. The doctor will also generally perform a physical examination such as: · \n\n \n Digital rectal examination. \n The doctor inserts a finger into the rectum to check for an enlarged prostate. \n Urine test. Analyzing a urine sample can help rule out infections or other conditions that can cause similar symptoms. · \n Blood test. The results can show whether or not there is a problem with the kidneys. \n Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test. PSA is a substance produced in the prostate. PSA levels increase when you have an enlarged prostate. However, elevated PSA levels can also be caused by a recent procedure, infection, surgery, or prostate cancer. \n \n\n Prevention of BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) \n\n According to research, the risk of developing benign prostate enlargement (BPH) can be prevented through the consumption of foods rich in fiber and protein, and low in fat. Also avoid eating red meat. High-fiber foods include green beans, brown rice, broccoli, oats, cabbage, radishes, spinach, apples and oats. Meanwhile, high protein foods include fish, eggs, soybeans, chicken breast, low-fat milk and cheese. \n\n When to go to the doctor? \n\n If you experience these symptoms, immediately consult a doctor to get the right treatment. This is because BPH that is not treated early on properly can lead to various complications. For example, such as urinary tract infections, to damage to the bladder and kidneys. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Erectile Dysfunction Due to Diabetes<\/a><\/h3>
Erectile Dysfunction Due to Diabetes \n\n “There is a disturbance during sexual intercourse is actually a natural thing, if it only happens occasionally. However, people with diabetes will have a higher risk factor for experiencing sexual dysfunction. Because high levels of sugar in the blood can damage the natural function of blood vessels, which can lead to erectile dysfunction.” \n\n Erectile dysfunction in a person with diabetes occurs due to changes in the body that cause disturbances in the nerves and blood vessels. High levels of sugar in the blood can damage the natural function of blood vessels, so that a person cannot get an erection optimally. \n\n Keep in mind that the penis is not a muscle. The penis itself cannot be moved intentionally during an erection. Erection itself occurs due to changes in blood flow to the penis. When stimulated, the nerves will make the blood vessels in the penis widen, so that the incoming blood flow will be greater than the outgoing one, so that the organ hardens. \n\n In people with diabetes, they will have disorders of the blood vessels. This condition makes blood unable to stay in the penis, so erectile dysfunction can occur. Not only people with diabetes, people with high blood pressure and heart disease must also be vigilant, because both have the same risk of developing erectile dysfunction. \n\n Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction in Diabetic Patients: \n\n Those with erectile dysfunction may experience several symptoms, including: \n\n • Decrease or loss of desire to have sex. \n\n • Erectile dysfunction, which is characterized by the difficulty of a man in keeping his penis hard during sexual intercourse. \n\n • Have an orgasmic disorder. Unlike women, men will experience ejaculation too quickly. This condition is known as premature ejaculation. Men can also have the opposite condition. \n\n Erectile dysfunction can interfere with your pleasure. This is certainly not something that can be underestimated. Because, if left alone, the quality of the couple's relationship could decline. \n\n Erectile Dysfunction Risk Factors Other Than Diabetes: \n\n In addition to diabetes, there are several other risk factors that can trigger erectile dysfunction, including: \n\n • Certain health conditions, such as heart problems. \n\n • Consumption of tobacco, as it can restrict blood flow to the veins and arteries. Over time, this can lead to chronic health problems that can lead to erectile dysfunction. \n\n • Overweight or obese. \n\n • Take certain medications, such as antidepressants, antihistamines, and drugs that reduce blood pressure. \n\n • An injury or injury that causes damage to the nerves or arteries that control erections. \n\n • Psychological conditions, such as stress, anxiety disorders to depression. \n\n • Use of drugs and alcohol, especially if they are used for a long time. \n\n Interference during sexual intercourse is actually a natural thing, if it only happens occasionally. However, people with diabetes will have a higher factor in experiencing sexual dysfunction. Therefore, people with diabetes need to have regular check-ups to prevent complications, one of which is erectile dysfunction. \n\n People with diabetes also need to pay attention to the intake of vitamin C in their bodies. Because, vitamin C can control blood sugar levels and control the amount of cholesterol in people with diabetes. Therefore, make sure that the intake of vitamin C is met properly. \n\n Don't forget to consult your doctor first if Hermina's friend experiences symptoms of erectile dysfunction to get the right treatment. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
