The heat causes the body's systems to react in unusual ways. When the temperature rises, more blood flows to the skin, which transfers heat to the surface (the result is sweat, which cools you as it evaporates). Meanwhile, as the body's temperature rises, blood vessels dilate, resulting in reduced blood pressure and other changes.
These changes, particularly the sweating, have a significant impact on how the urological system functions during the summer. Your summer habits, from what you eat to what you do, can help you manage this. So, take advantage of the warmer months by following these guidelines for preserving and improving urinary health over the summer.
· Stay hydrated:
The average individual can sweat up to two litres in an hour of physical activity, and the body requires that liquid to flush out bacteria, toxins, and waste. Bacteria can cause urinary tract infections (UTIs) in the kidney, bladder, and urethra if they are not removed from the body. Men should drink about 13 cups of liquid each day, while women should drink nine - this includes liquids included in foods.
· Take it easy on Drinks:
Be careful and do not consume more drinks and cocktails. Alcohol causes dehydration and can increase risk of Kidney Stones.
· Get sunlight:
Protect your skin from the sun, but keep in mind that UVs produce vitamin D, which is necessary for bodily well-being. According to research, low vitamin D levels can increase the risk of overactive bladder, enlarged prostate, and urinary tract infections.
· Don’t strain yourself:
Any doctor-approved exercise is beneficial to the entire body, including the urinary tract. Yoga, for example, may help with symptoms of lower urinary tract disorders such pelvic floor prolapse. According to study, men who exercise at least 90 minutes per week are less likely to develop erectile dysfunction. Even "no-sweat" activities can benefit the urinary tract - exercises, which strengthen the pelvic muscles, can help with a variety of health problems ranging from incontinence and prolapse to overall bladder function.
· Stop Smoking:
Cigarette smoking has been associated with a range of urological conditions, including kidney and bladder cancers, kidney stones, infertility, and interstitial cystitis (painful bladder syndrome).
· Check you urine color:
Other than thirst, there are several other indicators that you are dehydrated, such as dizziness and fatigue. A urine color check can provide guidance before it reaches to that point. Urine from a healthy, well-hydrated person is clear or pale. Dehydration is detected by golden or honey-colored pee. Pink or orange pee may indicate hematuria, or blood in the urine, caused by a urinary tract infection, enlarged prostate, or kidney stones.
Whatever you do or where you go this summer, keep in mind that rising temperatures can interfere with how well your urinary tract works. So stay hydrated, stay active, and know that you have the power to make decisions that will make you feel as good on the inside as you look on the outside. You can consult a Urologist for tips.
