Patient's question:
Father is getting older, and he has always had poor health. Exercising is also not very convenient for him. Recently, he has been constantly feeling the need to urinate frequently and urgently, needing to go to the toilet several times a day. With the increased frequency of going to the toilet, his body is also not coping well. I want to understand what to do about elderly people experiencing frequent urination and urgency?Doctor's answer:
Older adults experiencing frequent urination and urgency may likely have issues with the prostate, or it could be a urinary tract infection, urethritis, or other conditions that could cause this phenomenon. It is best to take the older adult to a reputable local hospital for a urinalysis to diagnose the condition. If it is only a urinary tract infection, some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications can be taken for treatment, and it is important to drink plenty of water and consume fresh fruits and vegetables.In addition, during the treatment of male health conditions, besides symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary habits and mental state are also particularly important. Patients must avoid excessive mental stress and anxiety to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of their condition.
