Prostatic hyperplasia is a common disease of the elderly, which is easily worsened in winter. Generally, symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency of urination, and pain of urination may occur. In severe cases, acute retention, hydronephrosis, and uremia may be induced, which may endanger life. Once patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia have blocked urine flow or even urination, they can use the following methods for temporary first aid, and should seek help from doctors if necessary.
Hot compress method for prostatic hyperplasia
Use a hot water bag to compress the small abdomen for 5 to 10 minutes, and the temperature is subject to tolerance, which can relax the bladder "outlet" in the state of strong contraction and facilitate the excretion of urine. It is suitable for patients with short retention time of urine and not serious bladder filling.
Massage method for prostatic hyperplasia
First of all, rub your hands together to warm them, and move them along the navel to the midpoint of the pubic symphysis, about at the back of the root of the penis. Massage for 3-5 minutes, and gradually increase the strength to promote the excretion of urine.
Prostatic hyperplasia drug method
Patients with BPH can choose 500g of green onion white, mash it into mud, and then divide it into two bags, and add a little musk powder to mix. Take a bag and put it at Shenque acupoint (navel), and iron it with hot water bag for about 15 minutes; Change another bag and put ice on the medicine bag for 15 minutes. The two are carried out alternately, and the urine is gradually free.
It is worth mentioning that the elderly may not bother to go to the toilet on a cold day. At this time, do not hold urine, because holding urine affects the blood circulation of the prostate and bladder neck, aggravates local edema, and cannot urinate after a long time.
