1. It is recommended that men regularly examine their prostate As men age, their prostate increases in size. This can lead to a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia. Prostate problems affect nearly 30 million men worldwide, and each year more than 230,000 are diagnosed with prostate cancer. Regular prostate exams allow you to catch any problems before they get worse. When prostate cancer is detected early, surgery can lead to a complete cure. Therefore, do not neglect the health of the prostate gland and always visit a urologist when you feel that you have a problem. 2. Sexual problems are not to be ignored If you are having problems in the bedroom, it may be a sign that your urological health is suffering. Many men who suffer from erectile dysfunction do not realize that this problem can be caused by a condition such as low testosterone. If you have symptoms of erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s disease, low testosterone or male infertility – see a urologist. These symptoms are not to be ignored. Many men find it uncomfortable and embarrassing to talk about this type of problem, but until you talk about it openly and the root cause is found, the problem will continue to exist. 3. Don’t ignore the pain If you experience any pain or feel a constant urgent need to urinate, don’t ignore these symptoms. While many people perceive these symptoms as simple inconveniences, they can be an indication of an infection or a common urological condition. Pain indicates that there is a problem in your body, so listen to your body. If you notice blood in your urine, pain or burning during urination, abdominal pain, incontinence or any other problem with your urinary system, contact a doctor immediately. Making a correct diagnosis will allow you to formulate a treatment plan that not only eliminates the pain, but also the cause of its occurrence. 4. Quit Smoking Smoking is one of the worst things you can do to your body and has a huge impact on your overall urological health. Smoking doubles the risk of developing bladder cancer. 5. See a urologist regularly The excretory system is a system your body relies on every day. Regular visits become more imperative as we age.
