This is how urination disorder is caused

Urinary disorders are a great threat to the health of both men and women. So what exactly causes the symptoms of urinary disorders in the human body? Most people don't really understand this. In fact, urinary disorders are caused by three reasons, the most direct reason is ureteral obstruction.

Causes of urination problems

(1) Bladder neck lesions: The bladder neck is blocked by stones, tumors, blood clots, foreign bodies; or due to uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, compression in late pregnancy; due to bladder neck inflammation, stenosis, etc.

(2) Posterior urethral diseases are caused by prostate hypertrophy, prostate cancer, acute prostate inflammation, bleeding, abscesses, and fibrosis compressing the posterior urethra; inflammation, edema, stones, tumors, foreign bodies, etc. of the posterior urethra itself.

(3) Anterior urethral diseases are seen in anterior urethral stenosis, stones, tumors, foreign bodies, or congenital malformations such as urethral exstrophy, penile prepuce incarceration, and abnormal penile erection.

What to do if you have urination problems

Urinary dysfunction has always been a chronic disease that has troubled many patients. Recently, hearing that Beijing Boai Hospital has adopted internationally leading technology and has launched a series of new therapies for treating urinary dysfunction, the reporter went to interview Dr. Liao Limin, a urology expert at the hospital.

Dr. Liao told reporters that urinary dysfunction is a common lower urinary tract disease, including urinary incontinence, frequent urination, urinary urgency, urinary retention, etc. The new treatments developed by Beijing Boai Hospital include the following three:

Sacral nerve electrical stimulation. It is a minimally invasive treatment method suitable for patients who suffer from urge urinary incontinence, frequent urination urgency syndrome, non-obstructive chronic urinary retention due to various diseases and are difficult to cure with conservative treatment, and are about to undergo irreversible surgical treatments such as bladder enlargement or urinary diversion. The operation involves implanting a permanent nerve stimulator electrode in the sacral neural foramen under general anesthesia, and burying a permanent nerve stimulator in the buttocks behind the iliac crest. The electrode wire is connected to the stimulator subcutaneously. The patient can generally be discharged from the hospital and return home within 10 days. The control and adjustment of the electrical stimulator are all performed by an external controller, and the patient can adjust the amplitude of the electrical stimulation to a comfortable feeling within the set range.

Transvaginal tension-free midurethral sling. Mainly suitable for female stress urinary incontinence. The operation only requires local anesthesia or epidural anesthesia. Two small incisions of 1 cm in length are made in the lower abdomen, and the relaxed urethra is put back in place with a special sling. It is tension-free, less painful, and has a quick postoperative recovery, a high cure rate, and few complications. The patient can get out of bed and walk the next day, and the long-term effect is good.

Artificial urinary sphincter implantation. An advanced urination control device is installed in the human body, which is very convenient for patients to operate. When the patient needs to urinate, he only needs to press the control pump implanted in the scrotum from the outside to control the water storage bag implanted in the body, reduce the liquid pressure in the sleeve that is connected to the urethra, and thus allow urination to flow through the urethra. After urination, the cuff is automatically filled with water by the water storage bag, thereby compressing the urethra again, closing the urethra, and controlling urinary incontinence. This domestically leading new technology uses an artificial urethral sphincter made of silicone imported from the United States. Its longest service life abroad is currently over 30 years.
