Causes of urinary iner autonomy in the elderly

The elderly often experience a fairly common urinary insy of inager, so it is necessary to identify the causes to have treatments, practice and implement supportive care methods to help the elderly.

1. What is urinary ina autonomy in the elderly?

Normally, urine is excreted and stored by the kidneys in the bladder, when the bladder is filled with urine there will be reflexes through the nerves that go to the brain; from there there is a command nerve flow that goes back to the bladder, which causes the bladder to contract to push urine out to create a state of urination.

For the elderly, the functioning of the kidneys and bladder is less active so the urine in the bladder is not thrown out and uncontrollable opening and opening of the systhe muscles at the bladder should cause urinary disturbances in the elderly, namely urine leakage in cases such as coughing sneeze…

Urinary inaubity is a sign or symptom of urinary dysfunction, which is common and causes discomfort in the elderly. The incidence of urinary ina autonomy increases with age and degree of weakness of the body.

Urinary inaubance in the elderly is a nuisance for the sick and also the caregiver; creating inferiority, feeling limited social communication, heavier than causing inaubinal inconvenience, mental disorders, happiness of the patient.

In addition, untested urination can cause urinary tract infections caused by stagnant urine in the bladder, causing bladder infections, and then causing upstream inflammation of the kidneys causing inflammation of the renal tank, purulent retention, if not detected and treated in time can lead to kidney failure.

2. Causes of urinary iner autonomy in the elderly

Urinary inager urination in the elderly has causes derived from the plant nervous system and bladder of the person. Some of the causes of urinary ina autonomy in the elderly include:

  • Overactive urinary muscles: Excessive functioning of the urinary muscles (which may be caused by bladder stones or tumors) makes the bladder impossible to inhibit, leading to urinary disorders in the elderly. This is the most common cause of urinary insy autonomy in the elderly.
  • Psychological: Mental state, neurological instability, most commonly stress, coma, restlessness, anxiety causing urinary instability in the elderly
  • Urinary tract infections: For the elderly, the functioning of the kidneys and bladder is impaired, so when urination is not able to discharge urine outside, it leads to urinary tract infections that cause urinary inaidious urination.
  • Some other conditions that cause urinary insularity in the elderly: Vacteritis and urethritis; prostate in men; diabetes mellitus causes a lot of thirst, so drink plenty of water and piss a lot; heart failure… or because obesity increases weight, squeezing to the bladder.

Obesity that causes bladder compression is one of the causes of the disease
  • Due to the use of certain drugs: The drug can also cause urinary iner autonomy in the elderly. Some drugs that cause urinary insuria in the elderly include: Beneficial medicines; psychopathical drugs; antidepressants; antipychial drugs; antipychial drugs; cholinerial resistance; anesthesia – anti-pain; alpha adrenergic athletes; ACE inhibitor (angiotensin-converting yeast).
  • Limited movement: Limiting movement such as laziness, paralysis, due to old age weakness … or due to the influence of seats… If normal movement is restored, it is possible to overcome urinary insy order in the elderly.
  • Spinal cord disease or constipation, poor bowel movements: In addition to the above causes, diseases of the spinal cord, constipation or poor bowel movements also cause urine to leak in the elderly.
  • Lung function decreases: The lungs directly affect the inhibition and water regulateion at the bladder. If the functioning of the lungs decreases and the functioning of the plant nervous system is disturbed, then the bladder is unstable, causing urinary instability.

3. Prevention of urinary iner autonomy in the elderly

  • Do not drink stimulant drinks: Elderly people who have urinary inaure should not take caffeine-containing drinks, because these substances will irritate the central nervous system, dilate the urethral systal muscles, diure diuretology,… should cause urination urgently, urinate several times.
  • Regular exercise: Especially the elderly should do Kegel exercises to both lose weight, reduce pressure on the bladder, increase the amount of urine contained, so it will limit urine leakage.
  • Water control: Only 1500-2000ml of water should be taken every day, so limit drinking water in the evening, especially before going to bed.

Do not drink too much water before going to bed
  • Bladder practice and urination habits: It is advisable to urinate by the hour, avoid urination as soon as there is a feeling of urination, this can improve symptoms after a few months, suitable for urgent in-control urination and mixed unsular urination.
  • Treatment of causes of urinary inaction in the elderly: Some conditions (heart failure, diabetes mellitus, obstructive pulmonary disease, psychosis, mental disorders ,…) cause polyuria, increased abdominal pressure, central nervous disorders,… leads to urinary ina control. Therefore, it is necessary to treat definitive diseases to prevent urinary ina autonomy in the elderly.
