What is the reason for difficulty urinating?

Although urination with profuse sweat is a normal phenomenon, some patients have difficulty urinating due to obstruction of the urination pathway, lack of bladder contraction function, prostate hypertrophy and other diseases, which seriously affects their physical and mental health. In severe cases, it can also lead to urination disorders. Therefore, experts say that in addition to active symptomatic treatment, you should also eat more diuretic foods, such as red beans, carp, potatoes, winter melon, etc., which are all good choices.

1. Causes of dysuria

1. The urination path is blocked

When urinating, if urination is suddenly interrupted and there is reflex pain in the lower abdomen, and urination can be started again after a slight change in body position, the reason for the difficulty in urination in this case may be obstruction of the urination path, which is more common in symptoms of urinary tract stones.

2. Loss of bladder contraction function

The primary urine is filtered several times by the kidneys to become the final urine, which is entered into the bladder through the ureters. When the bladder is full to a certain extent, it stimulates the bladder wall and excites the cerebral cortex to produce a feeling of urination. Then, under the control of the cerebral cortex, the bladder contracts and the urine is discharged from the body through the urethra. When the bladder's contraction function is reduced or absent, the bladder cannot contract normally and becomes edematous, causing poor urine discharge.

3. Caused by prostate hypertrophy

If a male patient has difficulty urinating, a thin and straight urine stream, a long urination time, a short urination range, and a small amount of urine dripping out after urination, he is likely to suffer from prostate hypertrophy; the typical symptoms of prostate are difficulty urinating, obstruction of the bladder outlet, and difficulty urinating.

2. Diuretic Food Recommendations

1. Red Bean

In addition to being rich in potassium, the saponins contained in the skin of red beans have a strong diuretic effect, which is very effective in improving athlete's foot and swelling of the face and feet caused by declining kidney function.

How to eat: Red beans are often made into red bean paste, but if you want to use it to reduce swelling, this method is not the best choice, because making red bean paste will leave the cooked red beans, and the saponin will be lost with the poured soup. Boiling red bean soup is the first choice. Cook it over low heat until the amount of soup is only half of the total amount when adding water, then you can serve it and drink it.

2. Carp

Using carp as a food supplement can eliminate edema during pregnancy and promote smooth secretion of breast milk after delivery. It is also effective for diseases such as cough, liver disease, skin disease, gastric ulcer, rheumatism and hemorrhoids.

How to eat: In order to remove the muddy smell from carp meat, you can put the carp in clean water for 1-2 days before slaughtering and cooking. There are many ways to cook carp. Steaming or braising are both good, but no matter which method you choose, the cooking time will be longer until the bones are stewed soft.

3. Potatoes

Potatoes are also called "apples grown in the soil" because of their rich nutrients. They are rich in inorganic salts, and the potassium content in inorganic salts is very high. Potassium can not only help the body excrete sodium retained in the body due to excessive salt, but also promote the body to excrete excess water.

How to eat: In order to effectively utilize the potassium in potatoes, it is best not to peel the potatoes when steaming, baking or boiling them; when stewing vegetables with potatoes, you may as well drink the soup together; if frying potatoes, avoid cutting them too finely and soaking them in water for a long time; at the same time, the taste of dishes prepared with potatoes should be as light as possible.
