Лечение частого мочеиспускания у мужчин и женщин: таблетки, народные средства

В течение долгого времени спорным оставался вопрос, какое количество опорожнении мочевого пузыря считать нормой, а какое симптомом патологических процессов в организме.

На данный момент специалисты выделяют следующую цифру – 6-10 мочеиспусканий в сутки, при этом должен отсутствовать болевой синдром и другие какие-либо неприятные ощущения.

Увеличение данного числа может свидетельствовать о развитии болезненных процессов в области мочевого пузыря, именно поэтому при выявлении подобной ситуации важно вовремя обратиться к специалисту. Кроме того, нужно знать основные причины данного явления и то, как происходит лечение.

Основные причины возникновения патологии

Следует отметить, что не всегда частое мочеиспускание считается патологией. В некоторых случаях – естественная реакция организма на физиологические факторы. К ним относят:

• обильное употребление жидкости в течение дня;
• стрессовые ситуации;
• переохлаждение организма;
• прием фармакологических продуктов с мочегонным эффектом;
• нарушения или перестройки гормонального фона.

При наличии данных условий, чаще всего, не требуется терапевтическое воздействие, и проблема через какой-то промежуток времени исчезает самостоятельно.

Патологические процессы в организме, проявляющиеся через частое мочеиспускание у женщин и мужчин, это:

• цистит;
• мочекаменная болезнь;
• уретрит;
• простатит;
• аденома предстательное железы;
• пиелонефрит;
• гинекологические заболевания различного рода;
• сахарный диабет 1 и 2 типа;
• недостаточное развитие эластичности стенок мочевого пузыря;
• патологические состояния сердечно-сосудистой системы, в частности – ее недостаточность.

Вышеперечисленные причины достаточно серьезны и при отсутствии должного лечения они могут приводить к серьезным осложнениям. Именно поэтому, если учащенное опорожнение мочевого пузыря стало системным явлением и происходит развитие сопутствующих симптомов, важно обратиться к лечащему терапевту.

Лекарства при нарушениях мочеиспускания

Лечение частого мочеиспускания во многом зависит от причины, на фоне которой развился данный симптом. Именно поэтому самостоятельный прием каких-либо лекарственных препаратов может негативно сказаться не только на самом заболевании, но и на общем состоянии здоровья.

В связи с этим начинать терапию нужно только после посещения специалиста, проведения необходимых диагностических исследований и постановки диагноза. Кроме того, важно помнить, что при нарушении мочеиспускания главное лечить не симптом, а причину его возникновения.

При инфекционных процессах

Одной из самой частой причин нарушения выделения урины является попадание инфекционных микроорганизмов в мочевыводящие пути. Среди инфекционных патологий выделяют: цистит, уретрит, простатит и пиелонефрит. Данные заболевания могут носить как острый характер и проявляться достаточно ярко, так и хронический. При этом болезнь, как правило, латентна.

Для лечения инфекционных процессов чаще всего прописывается комплекс из различных групп препаратов, среди них:

Кроме того, для снятия неприятных ощущений при частом мочеиспускании могут использоваться спазмолитические таблетки:

Курс, дозировка и сроки приема лекарственных препаратов назначаются только врачом. Самолечение может привести к переходу заболевания из острой стадии в хроническую.

При аденоме предстательной железы

Данный диагноз стал гораздо более распространен за последние несколько лет. В связи с этим важно знать, как проходит терапевтическое воздействие.

На данный момент существует два направления терапии: консервативная и хирургическая. Последнее назначается только на поздних стадиях развития заболевания. Для нормализации выделения урины и расслабления гладкой мышечной ткани назначают прием блокаторы альфа-андренорецепторов.

В данной группе препаратов самыми эффективными считают:

1. Омник. Фармакологический продукт нового поколения, который активно воздействует на снижения напряжения гладких мышц, нормализует функции мочеполовой системы. При этом данное средство оказывает минимальное воздействие на показатели артериального давления.
2. Празозин. Современный препарат, воздействующий на увеличение скорости потока урины, расслабляющий гладкую мускулатуру. Помимо этого, данное лекарственное средство имеет минимальный ряд побочных эффектов.

Самостоятельное использование данных препаратов при лечении аденомы может не только не способствовать улучшению состояния, но и значительно его ухудшить.

При других заболеваниях

Лечение частого мочеиспускания, как правило, включает в себя несколько основных этапов:

• прием спазмолитиков для снятия болевого синдрома и спазмов мочевого пузыря;
• использование препаратов, воздействующих на расслабление мочевого пузыря.

Для снятия болезненных ощущений:

1. Детрутизол. Имеет в качестве основного вещества толтеродин гидрохлорид. Подобный компонент обладает не только обезболивающей функцией, но и благоприятно воздействует на состояние мочевого пузыря.
2. Пантогам. Препарат, имеющий противосудорожное и обезболивающие действие. Запрещен для приема во время беременности и до 3 лет.

Среди препаратов второй группы наиболее распространены:

1. Везикар. Лекарственное средство, которое сокращает тонус мышц, способствует нормализации функции мочевого пузыря. Не рекомендуется принимать в период беременности и лактации, только с 18 лет.
2. Дриптан. Активный компонент препарата – оксибутин гидрохлорид, понижающий тонус мышц мочевого пузыря. Помимо этого, Дриптан снимает спазмы. Среди противопоказаний: беременность, кровоизлияния, кишечная атония и глаукома.

Следует отметить, что самостоятельный прием препаратов не рекомендуем, из-за узкой направленности и противопоказаний нужна консультация специалиста.

Применение народной медицины

На сегодняшний день большая часть урологов при лечении частого мочеиспускания прибегает к народным средствам. Однако, обратите внимание, что перед включение в терапевтический комплекс народных средств необходимо обязательно проконсультироваться у лечащего специалиста.

К числу наиболее распространенных и эффективных методов относят:

1. Необходимо смешать 60 мл спирта и одно сырое яйцо. Сразу после приготовления смеси, ее нужно выпить. Рекомендуется повторять такую процедуру ежечасно в течение одного или нескольких дней.
2. 20 г семян укропа залить 200 мл крутого кипятка. После чего поставить отвар в темное, теплое место на сутки, лучше всего в термосе. Полученный настой процеживают и выпивают за один раз.
3. 200 мл крутого кипятка добавляют в 10-20 г сухих листьев подорожника, настоять в течение 1-2 часов. Процедить полученный отвар, принимать по 1 ст. л за четверть часа перед каждым приемом пищи.
4. 3 ст. л зверобоя заливают 1 литром кипятка. Настаивают в течение 12-18 часов, процеживают и выпивают в течение дня.

Вышеперечисленные рецепты помогают нормализовать функциональность мочеполовой системы, способствуют урегулированию мочевыделения.

Если болезнь не связанна с мочевой системой

В некоторых случаях проблемы с выделением урины никак не связаны с патологиями органов мочеполовой системы. Среди таких факторов выделяют:

• сахарный диабет;
• заболевания сердечно-сосудистой системы;
• феохромоцитому.

В подобных случаях результат нормализации выделения урины в основном зависит от лечения непосредственно заболевания. То есть обязательна консультация либо с эндокринологом, либо с кардиологом.

При патологических процессах в сердечно-сосудистой системе учащенное мочеиспускание встречается, как правило, в ночное время. Связано это с тем, что в организме происходят застойные процессы.

В некоторых случаях для улучшения состояния специалист идет от обратного и назначает прием мочегонных средств. Для того чтобы улучшить отток урины, тем самым снизить объемы циркулирующей крови и жидкости в организме.

Обратите внимание, при болезнях эндокринной и сердечно-сосудистой систем необходимо лечить саму патологию, воздействие на симптомы не принесет желаемых результатов.

 

Что пить при старческих проблемах?

Более половины старшей возрастной группы людей имеет проблемы с выделением мочи. При этом подобные нарушения связывают со значительным снижением уровня физической активности, а у женщин также с периодом климакса.

Современные специалисты для нормализации выделения урины прописывают такие таблетки от частого мочеиспускания:

1. Амитриптипин. Лекарственный препарат из группы антидепрессантов, воздействует на психическое состояние человека и помогает достаточно быстро урегулировать выделение мочи.
2. Оксибутинин. Спазмолитическое миотропное средство, блокирующее выработку м – холинорепцепторов, устраняющее спазмы и эффективно снижающее напряжение в гладких мышцах органов мочевыводящих путей. Данный фармакологический продукт подходит для длительной терапии.
3. Уротол. Активный компонент – толтеродин гидротартрат. Лекарственное средство эффективно снижает тонус мышц, способствует нормализации мочевыделения. Противопоказания: глаукома, аллергические реакции на активные вещества препарата.

При возрастных нарушениях функционирования мочеполовой системы прием лекарственных средств, как правило, имеет долгосрочный характер. В связи с этим используемые фармакологические продукты должны иметь минимальное побочное воздействие.

Учащенное мочеиспускание – один из распространенных симптомов, который может свидетельствовать о ряде патологических состояний в организме. Это и болезни мочеполовой системы, и возрастные изменения, и заболевания органов эндокринной и сердечно-сосудистой систем. Стабилизация мочевыделения происходит через выявление причины нарушений и их устранение. Терапевтическое воздействие на симптоматику не является эффективным.

90000 Frequent Urination in Women: Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment 90001 90002 Frequent urination is the need to urinate more than you normally would. The urge can strike suddenly and can cause you to lose control of your bladder. It can feel uncomfortable, like your bladder is extremely full. 90003 90002 Frequent urination is also referred to as having an overactive bladder. Urologists, who are doctors that specialize in the urinary system, consider going more than 8 times in 24 hours to be frequent urination.90003 90002 The key to treating frequent urination is addressing the underlying cause. 90003 90002 A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common cause of frequent urination. This happens when bacteria enter the bladder through the urethra. 90003 90002 It’s estimated that 50 to 60 percent of women will experience at least one UTI in their lives. One-third of women will experience one before the age of 24 that’s severe enough to require antibiotics. 90003 90002 Women are more at risk for a UTI than men because their urethras are shorter.Bacteria have less distance to travel before they can infect the urinary tract and cause symptoms. 90003 90002 Common risk factors for a UTI include: 90003 90016 90017 not staying hydrated 90018 90017 holding your urine for prolonged periods of time or not fully emptying your bladder 90018 90017 vaginal irritation and inflammation 90018 90017 improper wiping (going from back to front) after using the toilet, which will expose the urethra to 90024 E. coli 90025 bacteria 90018 90017 sexual intercourse, which can introduce bacteria into the urinary tract 90018 90017 changes in the structure of the urinary system, such as during pregnancy 90018 90017 chronic medical problems, such as diabetes, that affect the immune system 90018 90033 90002 An overactive bladder (OAB) is another common cause of frequent urination.According to the American Urological Association, an estimated 33 million Americans have an overactive bladder. This affects about 40 percent of all women in the United States. 90003 90002 Overactive bladder is usually a collection of symptoms that can lead to frequent urination as a result of overactive bladder muscles. Common symptoms include: 90003 90016 90017 urinary urgency, or the sudden urge to urinate, sometimes resulting in leaks 90018 90017 nocturia, or the need to urinate at least two or more times a night 90018 90017 urinary frequency, or having to go at least eight times a day 90018 90033 90002 There are several causes of an overactive bladder.These can include: 90003 90002 Your symptoms will depend on the cause of your frequent urination. 90003 90050 UTI symptoms 90051 90002 UTIs can develop anywhere in the urinary system, but they commonly occur in the bladder and urethra. 90003 90002 The symptoms of a UTI include: 90003 90050 OAB symptoms 90051 90002 Frequent urination is the primary symptom of an overactive bladder. However, you should not feel ill or have any pain with urination. 90003 90002 Other symptoms include: 90003 90016 90017 inability to postpone the need to urinate 90018 90017 leaking urine 90018 90017 nocturia 90018 90033 90002 Your doctor will perform tests to determine what’s causing you to urinate frequently.They’ll ask you some questions, such as: 90003 90016 90017 When did your symptoms begin? 90018 90017 How often do you urinate? 90018 90017 What other symptoms are you experiencing? 90018 90017 Do you have any unexpected leaking of urine and in what situations? 90018 90033 90002 Your doctor will most likely ask you for a urine sample to check for infection, blood, or other abnormal findings such as protein or sugar. 90003 90002 Your doctor will also conduct an exam of your abdomen and pelvis.This will likely include a pelvic exam and evaluation of your urethra and vagina. 90003 90002 Other tests that can be useful include: 90003 90016 90017 90090 Bladder scan. 90091 This is an ultrasound done on your bladder after you’ve urinated to see how much urine is left behind. 90018 90017 90090 Cystoscopy 90091 90090. 90091 Using a lighted instrument, the doctor can take a closer look inside the bladder as well as take tissue samples if necessary. 90018 90017 90090 Urinary testing 90091 90090 (urodynamic testing).90091 This involves a variety of tests that look to see how well the urinary system is working. 90018 90033 90002 Treatment for frequent urination depends on the cause. Your doctor will first treat any primary disease responsible for frequent urination. If an infection is at fault, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics for getting rid of the infection. 90003 90002 Medications that control the muscle spasms in the bladder can help reduce urinary incontinence, or loss of bladder control. 90003 90002 Your doctor also may suggest doing pelvic exercises, such as Kegels or bladder retraining exercises, to help delay urination.90003 90050 Acupuncture 90051 90002 Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese form of healing that’s been used to treat illness for centuries. A common use is for urinary conditions such as OAB and urinary incontinence. 90003 90002 Currently there’s no consistent data suggesting that acupuncture is a reliable treatment option for urinary conditions. A recent review of a wide variety of studies on acupuncture and incontinence failed to show its effectiveness. 90003 90002 According to the British Medical Journal, a scientific review of acupuncture studies and overactive bladder is now underway.It’ll evaluate how acupuncture compares to other treatments and how acupuncture compares to no treatment at all. 90003 90002 You can take some steps to reduce your likelihood of developing frequent urination. 90003 90002 You can also avoid certain foods and drinks closer to nighttime that are known to increase the likelihood of nocturia. Examples include: 90003 90016 90017 alcohol 90018 90017 citrus juice 90018 90017 coffee 90018 90017 tea 90018 90017 tomatoes and tomato-based products 90018 90017 artificial sweeteners 90018 90033 90002 Constipation can also contribute to frequent urination by putting pressure on the bladder, so increase your fiber intake to maintain regularity.90003 90002 Talk to your doctor about the proper way to perform Kegel pelvic exercises. These can strengthen your pelvic floor. 90003 90002 Also, ask your doctor about physical therapy that targets your pelvic muscles. These go beyond Kegel exercises to broadly strengthen the muscles that support your bladder and pelvic organs. 90003 90002 If you develop symptoms of frequent urination, it’s important to know the cause. See your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. 90003.90000 Frequent urination in women: Causes, symptoms, and treatment 90001 90002 Urination is the body’s way of getting rid of excess water as well as wastes. While this is an important function for survival, urinating too frequently can interfere with a woman’s quality of life. 90003 90002 Frequent trips to the bathroom, not sleeping through the night, or refraining from going places for fear that they will leak urine, are often familiar to women who experience frequent urination. 90003 90002 Each person may urinate a different number of times per day depending on how much they drink and how well their kidneys work.According to the Cleveland Clinic, the average person should urinate somewhere between between six and eight times in a 24-hour period. 90003 90002 While an individual is occasionally likely go more frequently than that, daily incidences of urinating more than eight times may signal a concern for too-frequent urination. 90003 90002 Sometimes, frequent urination is due to drinking too many drinks that are known to increase urine production or irritate the bladder. Examples include excess caffeine intake through coffee, tea, and certain soft drinks.90003 Share on PinterestFrequent trips to the toilet can be caused by a variety of conditions, including excessive caffeine intake, bladder stones, and UTIs. 90002 However, frequent urination may also be due to a number of medical conditions. Examples include: 90003 90002 Obesity is another factor. Excess weight can place extra pressure on the bladder. The result can be weaker pelvic floor muscles and a need to urinate more frequently. 90003 90002 Another risk factor for frequent urination is pregnancy.The growing uterus can place extra pressure on the bladder during pregnancy. As a result, a woman may have to go to the bathroom more frequently. 90003 90002 According to one study, an estimated 41.25 percent of pregnant women experience an increase in urinary frequency during pregnancy. Of these women, an estimated 68.8 percent report the increase in frequency causes them discomfort or distress. 90003 90002 Menopause can also affect bladder control. When women no longer have their periods, their bodies stop making estrogen.This hormone can impact the lining of the bladder and urethra. As a result, a woman may experience the need to urinate more frequently. 90003 90002 Another risk factor for frequent urination is a history of vaginal childbirth. Childbirth can weaken the pelvic floor muscles that hold the bladder in place. 90003 90002 Sometimes, however, frequent urination may be due to damage to the nerves in the bladder as well. Sometimes a woman does not experience problems with bladder control immediately after giving birth, but she may experience symptoms years later.90003 Share on PinterestAdditional symptoms, such as pain or the inability to control one’s bladder, can help the doctor identify the cause of the frequent urination. 90002 A woman may have additional symptoms besides how often she urinates. This may give doctors a clue as to the potential cause of her frequent urination. 90003 90002 Examples include: 90003 90030 90031 a changing color to the urine, such as red, pink, or cola-colored 90032 90031 experiencing a sudden, strong urge to urinate 90032 90031 having trouble completely emptying the bladder 90032 90031 leaking urine or losing control over one’s bladder altogether 90032 90031 pain or burning when urinating 90032 90041 90002 Complications associated with urinary frequency often depend on the condition’s underlying cause.For example, if a woman’s frequent urination is due to a urinary tract infection, she could experience a severe and systemic infection if left untreated. This could damage her kidneys and cause narrowing of the urethras. 90003 90002 If urinary frequency occurs on its own with no immediately treatable illness, it can affect a woman’s quality of life. A woman may not be able to sleep well due to having to wake up to go to the bathroom very often. She may also refrain from social events for fear of having to go to the bathroom too frequently.90003 90002 These complications can all have an effect on a woman’s sense of well-being. 90003 90002 If frequent urination is accompanied by symptoms of possible infection, women should see their doctor. Examples include fever, pain when urinating, and pink- or blood-tinged urine. 90003 90002 Painful urination or pelvic pains are also causes for concern, along with frequent urination. A woman should also see her doctor any time that she experiences symptoms that are uncomfortable to her or that interfere with her quality of life.90003 90002 Often, there are lifestyle and medical means to treat frequent urination so that a woman does not have to suffer with the symptoms. 90003 90054 How is frequent urination diagnosed? 90055 90002 A doctor will start to diagnose potential underlying causes for frequent urination by asking questions about a woman’s health history. 90003 90002 Examples of these questions may include: 90003 90030 90031 When did you first notice your symptoms starting? 90032 90031 What makes your symptoms worse? Does anything make them better? 90032 90031 What medications are you currently taking? 90032 90031 What is your average daily food and drink intake? 90032 90031 Do you have any symptoms when you urinate, such as pain, burning, or sensations that you are not emptying your bladder completely? 90032 90041 90002 A doctor may take a urine sample for evaluation.A laboratory can identify the presence of white or red blood cells as well as other compounds that should not be present in urine that could indicate an underlying infection. 90003 90002 Other testing may include cystometry, or the measure of pressure in the bladder, or cystoscopy, which involves using special instruments to look inside the urethra and bladder. 90003 90002 Other diagnostic methods may depend upon a woman’s specific symptoms. 90003 90002 If a urinary tract infection is causing a woman’s frequent urination, taking antibiotics to cure the infection may help.90003 Share on PinterestLifestyle changes like avoiding coffee and other caffeinated beverages may help reduce the frequency of trips to the bathroom. 90002 Other treatments and preventive techniques for frequent urination that is not due to infection include: 90003 90030 90031 90084 Lifestyle modifications 90085: Avoiding foods and drinks known to irritate the bladder can help a woman experience fewer episodes of frequent urination. Examples include avoiding caffeine, alcohol, carbonated beverages, chocolate, artificial sweeteners, spicy foods, and foods that are tomato-based.90032 90031 90084 Adjusting patterns of fluid intake 90085: Avoiding drinking too much water before bedtime can reduce the likelihood of waking up at night to go to the bathroom, for example. 90032 90031 90084 Bladder retraining 90085: Bladder retraining is another method to reduce the amount of times a woman goes to the bathroom per day. To accomplish this, she will void on a regular schedule instead of always waiting until she feels the need to urinate. 90032 90041 90002 If possible, a woman should use techniques such as relaxation to see whether the need to urinate passes if she feels the need to go before the scheduled time.Women should not start a bladder-retraining schedule without discussing it with their doctor first. 90003 90002 In addition to these methods, doctors can prescribe medications that reduce bladder spasms and encourage relaxation of the bladder. This has the effect of reducing the urges to have to go to the bathroom. 90003 90002 Examples of medications used to treat urinary frequency include: 90003 90030 90031 imipramine (Tofranil) 90032 90031 mirabegron (Myrbetriq) 90032 90031 oxybutynin (Ditropan) 90032 90031 tolterodine extended-release (Detrol) 90032 90041 90002 Sometimes a doctor will recommend injections of botulinum toxin (BOTOX), which can reduce the incidence of bladder spasms.BOTOX can also relax the bladder so that it can become fuller before a woman has the urge to urinate. 90003.90000 Frequent urination: Causes, symptoms, and treatment 90001 90002 Frequent urination means having an urge to pass urine more often than usual. It can disrupt one’s normal routine, interrupt the sleep cycle, and it can be a sign of an underlying medical condition. 90003 90002 Many people live with frequent urination, known medically as frequency. When one urinates more than 3 liters a day of urine, this is known as polyuria. Often, there is often a simple cause that can be put right through treatment.90003 90002 Frequency is not the same as urinary incontinence, where there is leakage of urine. 90003 90002 Sometimes, frequent urination can indicate a more serious condition. Early identification of the problem can lead to a timely and effective treatment and prevent complications. 90003 90010 Fast facts on frequent urination: 90011 90012 90013 Urinary frequency, or just frequency, is different from urinary incontinence. 90014 90013 Most people urinate 6 or 7 times in 24 hours. Urinating more often than this may be referred to as frequency, but everyone is different.90014 90013 It is normally only a problem if it affects a person’s quality of life. 90014 90013 Frequency can often be treated with exercises, but if there is an underlying condition, such as diabetes, this will need attention. 90014 90021 Share on PinterestUrinary frequency is when a person needs to use the bathroom more often than usual. 90002 Urination is the way the body gets rid of waste fluids. Urine contains water, uric acid, urea, and toxins and waste filtered from within the body. The kidneys play a key role in this process.90003 90002 Urine stays in the urinary bladder until it reaches a point of fullness and an urge to urinate. At this point, the urine is expelled from the body. 90003 90002 Urinary frequency is not the same as urinary incontinence, which refers to having little control over the bladder. Urinary frequency just means needing to visit the bathroom to urinate more often. It can occur alongside urinary incontinence, but it is not the same. 90003 90002 Most people urinate between 6 and 7 times over a 24-hour period.90003 90002 90031 Urinary frequency can be defined as needing to urinate more than 7 times in a period of 24 hours while drinking about 2 liters of fluid. 90032 90003 90002 However, individuals differ, and most people only see a doctor when urination becomes so frequent that they feel uncomfortable. Children, too, have smaller urinary bladders, so it is normal for them to urinate more frequently. 90003 90002 Urination is a complex process, involving various body systems. A range of changes can make the urinary system more active.90003 90002 Lifestyle-based causes include drinking a lot of fluids, especially if they contain caffeine or alcohol. At night, this can interrupt the sleep cycle with urges to urinate. Frequent urination can also develop as a habit. 90003 90002 However, it can be a sign of kidney or ureter problems, urinary bladder problems, or another medical condition, such as diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, pregnancy, or prostate gland problems. 90003 90002 Other causes or related factors include: 90003 90002 One of the main symptoms of polyuria is urinating frequently.If there are other symptoms, they may indicate another, possibly more serious condition. 90003 90002 Nocturia, for example, is the need to urinate at night, during the sleep cycle.
