Problems urinating in men

Causes of difficulty in emptying bladder in men is often a narrowing or deformity of the urethra. As a rule, is a consequence of inflammation of the prostate, where it grows in size and begins to squeeze the urethra.

Difficulty and painful urination in men is one of the main symptoms of the following diseases:

• malignant tumor of the prostate. Prostate cancer is increasingly diagnosed in men, and in the initial stage may occur without the onset of pain. Growing and emerging tumor compresses the prostate narrows the lumen of the urethra that prevents normal urine excretion. Therefore, difficulties with emptying of the bladder serve as a signal for immediate access to a urologist. With timely start of treatment significantly increases the chance for a full recovery;
• adenoma of the prostate. Gradual increase provokes the curvature and narrowing of the urethra, leading to difficult to urination in men, especially at night. When the discharge of urine stream becomes weaker, can be interrupted at all. To empty the bladder, a person has to put in the effort and much strain;
• urethritis. Inflammation of the male urethra provokes extensive swelling and narrowing of the lumen. Urination becomes difficult and the disease due to damage to the mucosa of the urethra and possible infection by pathogenic microorganisms.

The main reason for the voiding becomes prostatitis. Under the influence of provoking factors (hypothermia, chronic diseases) in the prostate penetrate bacteria and viruses.

Difficulty emptying bladder in women

Difficulty urination occurs most often in women 30-50 years. At this age the hormonal background of the fair sex subject to sharp fluctuations. It becomes the impetus for reduction of the functional activity of the urinary system.

Urologists distinguish the following causes of difficult urination in women:

• diseases accompanied by inflammation. This cystitis and urethritis, causing pain in the abdomen, cramps and burning when emptying the bladder;
• venereal disease. The causative agents of pathologies, sexually transmitted, able to infect the mucous membrane of the urethra. Due to the resulting swelling of its lumen narrows and urination becomes difficult;
• the period of carrying a child. During pregnancy the growing uterus compresses the kidney and urethra. The urethra loses its ability to eliminate urine in the same volume;
• hormonal birth control pills. Difficulties with urination occur when eating incorrectly selected contraceptives. A woman should consult a gynecologist for prescription of adequate therapy.

Difficulty urinating in women can be due to diseases of the reproductive system, fibroids, endometriosis, adnexitis, inflection of the uterus. The development of these pathologies lead to constriction of the bladder, persistent irritation of its mucosa.

Common causes

Difficulty urinating in men and women provoke blood clots and mucous plugs falling into the ureter with the urogenital infectious processes. They become mechanical obstacle to the jet of urine, contribute to further spread of pathogenic microorganisms.

It is common for men and women causes difficult urination include:

• urolithiasis. Strengthening of the processes of crystallization or salt diathesis leads to the formation of stones in the kidneys and bladder. When passing through the urethra calculus damages the sharp edges of the mucous membranes, causing swelling and inflammation. Along with difficulties with emptying of the bladder, the person has blood and pus in urine;
• stricture of the urethra. When narrowing of the walls of the urethra of the people is having trouble when you try to empty your bladder in the morning, afternoon and before bed. Pathology diagnosed in women less frequently than men. This is due to the anatomical structure of the male urethra. Causes of strictures are most often diseases of the genitourinary system;
• tumors benign and malignant. In the spread of tumors, it gradually compresses the kidneys, bladder or urethra, prevents the outflow of urine. The risk of pathology is the absence of painful symptoms in its early stages, when the urine is already hampered.

Central and peripheral nervous system controls the process of emptying the bladder. If a failure occurs at any stage of innervation, the person may start to occur delay or incontinence of urine. If you experience the urge to urinate woman and man have to work hard, but urine leaves a thin stream or in drops.

Neurogenic disorders arise due to severe emotional stress or prolonged depression. The child has difficulty emptying of the bladder are diagnosed when moving to a new place of residence, divorce of parents, death of a close relative.

Treatment with drugs and herbs

Difficulty emptying of the bladder will eliminate only a comprehensive treatment.

It is after careful laboratory and instrumental diagnostics and is aimed at:

• the reduced severity of symptoms;
• the causes of voiding;
• the destruction of viruses and pathogenic bacteria.

If difficulties with discharge of urine occurred due to a benign or cancerous tumor, surgeons will hold its removal. After undergoing surgery patients have to spend some time in the hospital to assess the effectiveness of surgical intervention.

Therapy difficulty urinating starts with receiving anticholinergic drugs. They have the ability to reduce the tension the smooth muscle muscle of the bladder, to restore complete the act of urination.

When the pathology becomes the penetration into the urinary tract pathogenic bacteria, can not do without a course of treatment with antibiotics:

• The clarithromycin;
• Amoxicillin;
• Amoksiklava;
• drugs cephalosporin.

To treat patients with difficult painful urination urologists begin antispasmodic drugs. These include Spazmalgon, Spazgan, Baralgin.

Rapid removal of pathogens and resolving inflammation promote drugs uroseptic action:

• Zistan;
• Monorail;
• The kanefron.

Difficult emptying of the bladder often accompanied by a sharp decline in the human immune system. To increase the body’s resistance to viral and bacterial infections by using a course receiving immunomodulators and Immunostimulants (tincture of Echinacea, Immunal), as well as complexes of vitamins and trace elements (I, Complivit, Vitrum).
