Thick urine in men and women

Urine (or urine) is an end product of vital functions of the human body that secrete the kidney. Its consistency may be moderate, liquid or dry, and depends on the amount consumed by a person fluid, climatic conditions, violations of the functional activity of the urinary organs.

Normal urine has a mild transparent consistency with a straw-yellow tint. If a healthy person produces thick, like jelly urine – this phenomenon may indicate the early development of pathologic process.

In our article we want to consider the following questions – why does a man produce dense urine, what is the cause of this phenomenon, what are the methods of diagnosis of pathological States and prevention of possible complications.

Anatomy of the urinary system

Each person is useful to know about the anatomy and the functional activity of the urinary tract. That is why we tell you how to work these bodies. The urinary system is characterized by complex physiological structure and unique mechanisms of functional activities.

The urinary organs are called:

• kidneys;
• the renal pelvis;
• adrenal glands;
• ureters;
• bladder;
• urinary channel (urethra).

Their blood supply is provided by the renal vein and artery, abdominal aorta, inferior Vena cava and the common iliac to the aorta.

The urinary system is a complex machine that cleanses the body from toxic substances and metabolic products

The kidneys are paired organs that do work:

• according to the regulation of the constancy of the biological environment of the blood;
• absorption and distribution of water and salts;
• synthesis of hormones;
• participate in protein and carbohydrate exchange;
• the formation and excretion of urine.

The accumulation of urine occurs in kidney bowls, which merge in the renal pelvis into the ureter, is divided into upper, middle and lower divisions. After passing through the urinary tract, the urine falls into the smooth muscle “tank” bladder. In the epithelial layer of the body has nerve endings, supplies a signal to the Central nervous system about the filling.

The act of mochevyvodjashie occurs through the urethra. Organs of the urinary system as an adult and a child, prone to different pathological processes that can affect the consistency of urine.

Factors conducive to the secretion of thick urine

Freshly isolated healthy human urine is transparent, has a slightly acid reaction medium and moderately liquid consistency.

The change of these indicators is observed during the development in the urinary tract infectious and inflammatory processes, which are caused by:

• a violation of the bacterial composition of urinary organs (a predominance of coccal flora);
• active reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms;
• movement along the urinary ducts of the salt crystals.

The presence of thick secretions in the urine of women can be identified with the naked eye, very often this phenomenon may be due to not thoroughly carried out the toilet of the external genitalia, which contributes to the accumulation of mucus. In order to get rid of this problem, you need to carefully wash the genitals immediately after waking up from a dream.

The formation in the kidneys, ureters and bladder hard stones, which can create obstruction to the normal outflow of urine and contribute to kidney inflammation. The most severe cases of kidney stones lead to blockage of the urinary channels and the development of kidney failure – a serious threat to health and human life

Thick consistency, which is caused by deposition of urate in the urine, disappears after heating, release of phosphate after the addition of acetic acid, oxalates, strong hydrochloric acid. The admixture of carbonates, causing the density of released urine, disappears after heating and adding a few drops of acetic acid.

If the urine after such samples becomes liquid – so that the thick consistency caused by impurities, pathogenic microorganisms, pus, or necrotic particles of tumors.

To detect these pathological processes it is necessary to survey the patient, comprising:

• of instrumental methods – ultrasound, CT, and fluoroscopy;
• laboratory studies of urine and blood clinical, bacteriological, and biochemical tests.

Disease, provoking the secretion of urine is thick

The most common illness, in which of the urinary tract produced urine thick, is an inflammatory process in the bladder – cystitis.

The reasons of its development can be:

• hypothermia;
• sexually transmitted infections;
• failure to comply with hygiene requirements;
• an imbalanced diet.

The inflammation affects the mucous integument of the bladder and causes pain, fever, impaired urination

The result of untreated cystitis inflammatory process is raised to the upper urinary tract affects the kidneys, causing a pyelonephritis – inflammation of the tubular system. This disease affects people of different age categories, its development affects children of preschool age.

Very often pyelonephritis in an adult develops as a result of urolithiasis (kidney stones). The secretion of thick urine can cause the presence in the urinary canal infectious pathogens that invade the urinary tract and cause inflammation of the urethritis.

Symptoms of the disease are characterized by:

• painful sensations when urinating;
• itching, stinging and burning of the external genitals;
• visible purulent mucous discharge with a pungent odor and a greenish tint.

To ignore the symptoms of urethritis can not be! The human body is able to suppress the inflammatory process and all clinical symptoms disappear. However, this does not mean that the disease itself – the infectious agents remain in the eve of the genitals and manifest themselves after the abuse of alcoholic drinks, exposure to cold, unprotected sexual intercourse. The renewal of the inflammation will be accompanied by the development of multiple complications.

The secretion of thick urine in men can occur for entirely natural reasons – a long delay urination, to hygiene of external genitals, phimosis (narrowing of the foreskin of the penis) – this feature may prevent thorough cleansing of the urinary canal, which contributes to the accumulation in it of mucus and pathological impurities.

However, newly issued dense urine may indicate the presence of serious disease of prostate adenoma.

The disease is characterized by formation of “nodules” that compress the urinary tract and make it difficult urination

The development of benign prostatic hyperplasia affected nearly 85% of men who have crossed fifty years of age line. Tumors in the prostate are benign and do not cause the formation of metastasis. However, the disease is characterized by unpleasant symptoms, which is why the man is timely to draw attention to the change of state of your state of health.

In the end all of the foregoing, it should be noted that urine is thick as in women and men is not always a manifestation of the pathological process. It is important to proactively take care of their health, do not be afraid to hear a serious diagnosis – the majority of pathological processes amenable to rational treatment. But chronic diseases can cause the affected organs irreversible complications.
