It's essential to take your health seriously, and it is one of the most important things you can and should do for yourself. When it comes to urological health, most people like to overlook the itch or burning sensation 'down there' or that sudden pain in the abdomen. However, any symptom could be important - especially in urology and needs to be addressed right away.
Some common symptoms or health problems affecting the bladder include:
- Urinary incontinence (leaking of urine that cannot be controlled)
- Overactive bladder (sudden, uncontrolled need or urge to urinate)
- Neurogenic bladder (lack of bladder control due to a brain, spinal cord or nerve problem)
- Urinary tract infection (presence of bacteria in the urine and urinary tract causing abdominal pain, burning or foul smelling urine)
- Bladder cancer (cancer in the bladder characterised by blood in urine, frequent urination and pain)
- Bed wetting (urination during sleep)
- Nocturia (excessive urination at night)
Most urological conditions, when caught early, are highly treatable, and a few lifestyle modifications can help you lead a fulfilled life with minimum disruption.
