What is urinary incontinence in the elderly?
For elderly people with urinary incontinence, such as elderly men, the main cause is benign prostatic hyperplasia. Due to the enlargement of the prostate, there is an obstruction at the bladder outlet, which increases the resistance during urination. Urine is not completely expelled and accumulates in large amounts within the bladder. When the pressure reaches a certain level, urinary incontinence occurs. For female patients, the main cause is usually an acute urinary system infection, resulting in localized infections that stimulate the bladder's detrusor muscle, causing it to contract involuntarily and, consequently, leading to urinary incontinence.
The difference between acute myocardial infarction and myocardial infarction.
Acute myocardial infarction, characterized by sudden onset, involves persistent angina, profuse sweating, a sense of impending doom, difficulty breathing, and chest tightness. Myocardial infarction, also known as heart attack, refers actually to the same condition and there is no difference between them. Once a myocardial infarction occurs, the patient should immediately go to the hospital for medical attention. Diagnostic tests such as an electrocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound, coronary CT, and coronary angiography should be conducted. These tests help determine the extent, severity, and location of the infarction, understand the degree of narrowing of the vessel, and develop a treatment plan to save the patient's life.
