This process we are experiencing due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) has greatly affected people spiritually. Continence Association Leader Urology Specialist Prof. Dr. Tufan Tarcan pointed out that the anxiety and tension experienced can increase urinary problems in this process.
The coronavirus (COVID-19), which affected the world and our country, negatively affected the tension and level of distress experienced by people. Expressing that they encounter fear problems and panic attacks more frequently in these tense days, Continence Association Leader Prof. Dr. Tufan Tarcan, “Anxiety and tension can also increase some functional diseases of the bladder. For example, these complaints may increase in our patients who experience sudden urgency, frequent urination and sometimes urge urinary incontinence due to an overactive
bladder. Another disease that this problem affects is the bladder pain syndrome / interstitial cystitis complex. Bladder pain can increase in severity due to fuss. In summary, this type of bladder diseases can be affected by our rush state. We recommend our patients to spend quality time at home, to do sports as much as possible, and to take a walk outside, taking our precautions if possible, in order to reduce their fear levels.” he said. Stating that urinary incontinence at night is a condition often seen in children, it is very rarely seen in adults, Prof. Dr. Tufan Tarcan said, “We can say that as a result of our observations, all kinds of tension and sleep disorders increase.
Persons prone to sleep incontinence; They experience this problem more often when they are very tired and tense. Fear situations we live in today can also increase nighttime urinary incontinence. Or it can lead to more frequent urination at night.” made a statement.
Do not consume anything after dinner unless you have to
Continence Association Leader Prof. Dr. Tufan Tarcan made the following suggestions to reduce the problem of going to the toilet at night, which many people are victims of: “Our advice is not to drink liquids and not eat unless you have to, during the period between dinner and bedtime. After getting up from dinner
in the evening, we recommend people not to take both solids and liquids until they go to bed.
I would like to point this out especially for people who urinate or have problems with urinary incontinence at night.” Stating that drinking a lot of fluids during the day increases urinary incontinence at night, Prof. Dr. Tufan Tarcan said, “We know that especially weight gain increases these diseases. We should pay attention to food and avoid gaining weight these days when we stay at home. Excessive consumption of alcohol and food appears to be a problem
. Another point I want to underline is; multi-vitamins and nutritional supplements we take to prevent diseases. We should only take them with the advice of a doctor. Unnecessary and unnecessary use in these matters can have damaging effects on the kidneys and bladder.” spoke form.
Everyone who has urinary incontinence problems should use a bladder pad
It should be noted that it is also hygienically beneficial for individuals who have trouble sleeping at night due to urinary incontinence, especially in patients who are bedridden or have trouble moving. Continence Association Leader Prof. Dr. Tufan Tarcan, “We recommend bladder pads to our patients who have functional urinary incontinence problems, in order not to develop hygienic problems in our patients.” said.
