Proper hand washing is the most effective way to prevent various diarrheal diseases and respiratory infections such as colds and flu. It is considered the most economical practice for health care. According to domestic and foreign studies, hand washing is the most basic means of preventing infectious diseases, and can prevent about 50-70% of water-borne infectious diseases. According to a survey conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 9 out of 10 people are aware of the importance of washing their hands. However, only 73% of people wash their hands after using the toilet in the bathroom. Of these, 67% wash only with water without using soap.
But you shouldn’t just wash your hands. Order is important. In conclusion, it is important to first wash your hands and go to the toilet when you go to the bathroom. It’s because you have no choice but to touch the ‘important’ part of the human body with your hands while watching the toilet. In the case of men, I don’t know if it’s 2030, but after 4050, it becomes increasingly difficult to urinate without holding ‘there’ with your hand.
The most desirable bathroom hand washing rule is to wash your hands thoroughly with soap after entering the bathroom, then wash your hands again after resolving the toilet coolly. However, after middle age, many people cannot hold back their urine enough to wash and dry their hands first in the bathroom. This is because prostate symptoms and overactive bladder symptoms fly like ‘naughty butterflies’. People who have experienced urinary incontinence trauma have more ‘anguish in the bathroom’ as they have to urgently go to work.
In the hot and humid summer season, germs increase in abundance on the hands even after 30 minutes. Even after more than an hour, it increases to hundreds of millions. Knowing this, can you still touch your vital parts in the bathroom without first washing your hands? Besides, would you neglect to manage related diseases?
Urinary incontinence where I secretly wet my underwear
The International Urinary Continence Society defines urinary incontinence as ‘a disease in which urine leaks involuntarily and causes problems in social activities or hygiene beyond urination’. It is largely divided into stress urinary incontinence, which is incontinence due to pressure on the lower abdomen when coughing or laughing, urge urinary incontinence, which is incontinence when urination is not tolerated, and mixed urinary incontinence, in which stress and urgency appear together. It occurs due to various causes, such as weakening of the pelvic muscles due to pregnancy and childbirth, decreased urethral sphincter function due to nerve damage, acute and chronic cystitis, pelvic surgery, central and peripheral nerve diseases, prostatectomy, and hormonal changes due to menopause. .
Urinary incontinence has various types and treatments, so it is important to identify the exact symptoms, causes, and patterns through specialist medical treatment. Basically, keeping a voiding diary will help you get a more accurate picture of the condition and severity of your urinary incontinence. Check the frequency and amount of urination and the type of urinary incontinence for about 3 days.
Overactive bladder like a nasty butterfly
According to the Korean Society of Urinary Incontinence and Urinary Incontinence, overactive bladder is a disease that affects 10% and 15% of adult men and women, respectively. Normally, when urine fills the bladder, the brain sends a signal to contract the bladder muscles and expel urine through the urethra. However, overactive bladder is a sudden, unbearable urge to urinate without this process. It is different from cystitis caused by a urinary tract infection. Sudden need to urinate and feeling unbearable urinary urgency symptoms, urgency urinary incontinence in which urine leaks before going to the toilet, urinary frequency in which urinates more than 8 times a day, and nocturia in which one or more times to urinate while sleeping at night accompany
Overactive bladder itself reduces quality of life, but it becomes more severe when accompanied by other conditions. In postmenopausal women, overactive bladder causes depression and sleep deprivation due to nocturia. In addition, women with osteoporosis are more likely to fall and fracture due to frequent bathroom visits. It can negatively affect your sex life, cause stress and anxiety.
Prostatic hyperplasia resulting in urgency
According to the results of a survey conducted by the Korean Urological Association, 3 to 4 out of 10 people suffer from enlarged prostate before reaching their 60s, such as complaining of moderate or severe urination symptoms that require treatment. The main symptoms (multiple responses) were thin urine stream and weakness (60.4%), urgency and nocturia (40.2%), and post-urination symptom (38.3%). The following are guidelines for the effective prevention and management of benign prostatic hyperplasia recommended by the Urological Association.
First, through regular examinations, one’s prostate condition is diagnosed and discomfort caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia is prevented in advance. Second, when taking medication for benign prostatic hyperplasia, follow the doctor’s prescription. Third, maintain a healthy lifestyle. It is good to eat a variety of vegetables, fruits, fish, etc. and reduce the intake of meat (especially red) as much as possible. Fourth, do not rely on food or medicine that has not been medically verified, and you can maintain a healthy prostate by receiving appropriate treatment through consultation with a specialist.
