Patient's question:
My grandfather is 76 years old this year. He goes to the toilet very frequently every day, especially at night. He needs to go to the toilet almost every hour. Once, he walked slowly and directly wet his pants. It has seriously affected his normal routine, so I want to ask, what should be done about frequent urination and urgency in the elderly?Doctor's answer:
When elderly people experience symptoms of frequent urination and urgency again, it is generally considered more likely to be due to benign prostatic hyperplasia or inflammation. In this case, the treatment plan should be selected based on clinical diagnostic symptoms and signs. If necessary, it is recommended to visit the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system and a urinalysis to confirm the diagnosis. Then, treatment should be administered according to the results. In daily life, it is important to avoid cold exposure, drink plenty of hot water, urinate frequently, and get adequate rest to prevent overexertion and staying up late. Additionally.
