What is the fastest way to treat excessive urination?

Excessive urination can be relieved by adjusting the amount of water you drink, avoiding irritating foods, bladder training, medication, surgery, etc. Excessive urination may be related to factors such as drinking too much water, overactive bladder, urinary tract infection, prostatic hyperplasia, and diabetes.

1. Adjust the amount of water you drink

Reduce your daily fluid intake, especially before bedtime and avoid drinking large amounts of water. Controlling the intake of diuretic drinks such as coffee, tea, and alcohol can help reduce the frequency of urination. It is recommended to keep the daily water intake at 1500-2000 ml, and drink small amounts in portions.

2. Avoid irritating foods

Spicy foods, acidic foods, artificial sweeteners, etc. may irritate the bladder and cause frequent urination. Reducing your intake of these foods can help improve symptoms. It is recommended to choose a light diet and increase the intake of vegetables and fruits.

3. Bladder training

Gradually extend the time between urination by delaying urination to help the bladder restore its normal urine storage function. You can try to urinate every 2 hours at first, and gradually extend it to 3-4 hours. The effect is better when combined with pelvic floor muscle exercises.

4. Drug treatment

For overactive bladder, anticholinergic drugs such as solifenacin tablets and tolterodine extended-release tablets can be used as directed by your doctor. For urinary tract infections, antibiotics such as levofloxacin tablets and cefixime dispersible tablets can be used. Patients with prostatic hyperplasia can take drugs such as tamsulosin sustained-release capsules and finasteride tablets.

5. Surgical treatment

For severe prostatic hyperplasia, transurethral resection of the prostate or laser resection may be considered. Patients with refractory overactive bladder may have options for bladder augmentation or sacral neuromodulation. The surgical method needs to be determined by the doctor based on the specific condition.

In daily life, you should pay attention to keeping the perineum clean, avoid sitting for long periods of time and holding in urine, and wear loose and breathable underwear. Proper pelvic floor muscle exercises can help improve bladder control. If the symptoms persist or are accompanied by hematuria, fever, etc., you should seek medical examination in time to identify the cause and then provide targeted treatment. You can appropriately add pumpkin seeds, tomatoes and other foods that are beneficial to the health of the prostate and urinary system in your diet.
