Male friends may have some health problems to some extent as they age. How to identify these issues is very important.
The first morning urination is a good mirror, which can better reflect the health status of the urinary and reproductive system, and is the best indicator of our daily life and diet. We can distinguish various conditions such as physical condition, sufficient water intake, and whether the body has diseases based on the color, odor, and state of urine.
Urine turbidity: Attention should be paid to distinguishing when urine appears cloudy and milky white in color. Generally, the first thing to think of is infection. Indeed, when infection occurs in the urinary system, the above situation will occur. If it is a severe urethritis, there may be some purulent discharge at the urethral opening when waking up in the morning. However, chyluria can also result in cloudy urine, appearing milky white or like rice soup.
In addition, after urination, sometimes cloudy milky white urine may appear, which is commonly referred to as "dripping white". If it happens by accident, don't be nervous. It may be due to a long time of no ejaculation and too much prostatic fluid secretion, resulting in overflow. If it occurs more frequently, it may be a manifestation of prostatitis.
Urine with a red color is likely a symptom of urinary tract infections, such as urethritis and urinary stones. If the discharge of red urine is accompanied by frequent urination, urgency, and pain, it is recommended to conduct urinary system related examinations to avoid missing the best opportunity for treatment.
Sometimes eating vegetables and fruits with natural pigments such as carrots can also make urine appear light red. But this phenomenon is only temporary, drinking more water will restore the situation.
If there is blood in the urine, there must be an abnormality. If there is blood in the urine, it means there must be an abnormal problem in the body. However, due to the presence of infection, stones, tumors, etc. in any part of the urinary system, hematuria will occur, and some systemic diseases will also cause hematuria. So, the causes of hematuria are very complex. Once hematuria occurs, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible, identify the cause, and provide targeted treatment to avoid delaying the optimal timing of treatment.
Urine yellow like strong tea: Pay more attention to liver problems. If urine turns yellow like purulent tea for a long time, it indicates that there is a problem with the liver. If there is inflammation, tumor, stone, etc. in the biliary tract inside and outside the liver, the urine will turn yellow. If there is a long-term problem of yellowing in the urine, you must pay attention to whether there are other symptoms around, such as jaundice, fatigue, discomfort and pain in the epigastrium, and go to the relevant liver examination in time.
However, if it's only one or two episodes of yellow urine, the time is short, and there are no other discomfort, this can be reassuring. Because changes in urine color are also related to human sweating, water intake, and diet. If you sweat more and drink less, the color of urine will also deepen. In addition, when you first wake up, there is urine accumulated in your kidneys all night, which will be darker in color and have a relatively strong odor.
Bifurcation of the urinary tract does not necessarily indicate prostatitis, which is a misconception among many men. The main cause of urine bifurcation is prostate enlargement, which compresses the urethra. However, there are many reasons that can cause prostate enlargement, such as inflammation and enlargement of the prostate, prostate hyperplasia, and even simple penile erection. Because when the penis is erect, the prostate gland also becomes congested, dilated, and secretes substances. Some men may have had the experience of having an erection at night or having an erection in the morning, and then going to the bathroom to urinate, only to find that the urinary tract has forked. And this is exactly what causes penile erection, which is a normal phenomenon.
