Genitourinary system. How to save a man’s health.
The genitourinary system in men and women is a complex of urinary and genital organs that are anatomically, embryologically and functionally related to each other. Their close relationship indicates the danger of delaying the treatment of even minor diseases of the genitourinary system. Their development leads to complications in sexual life, inability to urinate, kidney disease, etc.
Diseases of the genitourinary system
Men have the most widespread diseases of the genitourinary system, such as urethritis and prostatitis, i.e. inflammation of the urethra and prostate gland. Infections are less common and are mainly sexually transmitted or occur due to uncleanness. According to the results of the AHealthyMan studies, we came to the conclusion that the main symptoms are:
- frequent painful urination;
- cramps and difficulty urinating;
- heaviness in the perineum area.
In women, infections of the genitourinary system are most widespread, as well as diseases such as urethritis, cystitis and pyelonephritis. Diseases are more likely to occur in a chronic form.
General symptoms:
- pain in the genital area, lower abdomen and lower back;
- discomfort, itching and burning when urinating;
- discomfort during sexual intercourse.
Remember that it is necessary to start treatment of the genitourinary system as early as possible at the first detection of these symptoms. The development of the disease in men threatens infertility and prostate cancer, and in women with inflammation of the appendages, erosion of the cervix, etc. Doctors will provide you with a comprehensive diagnosis of the genitourinary system and on its basis will prescribe effective therapy. Remember that only this approach guarantees you a full recovery and the absence of dangerous complications in the future!
Treatment of diseases of the genitourinary system
Depending on the degree of development of the disease, the nature of its course and the characteristics of your body, the following treatment methods are used:
- drug therapy;
- surgical treatment;
- dynamic observation, during which your problem will be solved independently by using the internal reserves of the body.
Remember that effective and harmless treatment of diseases for your body is possible only under the guidance of a specialist!
