Abstract
Several age-related or geriatric changes take place in the entire body of a growing adult, with some systems getting affected more than others. Out of all the bodily systems that get affected as a consequence of ageing, the genitourinary system is one of the most commonly affected ones. Moreover, it is usually the male gender that gets subjected to the most of the atrocities of this system. Their urinary flow, stream, urgency, continuity, and everything related to it are seen to be affected as a consequence of age-related disorders. A person also becomes more vulnerable to contracting some infectious illnesses as part of these changes. However, to contain the broad spectrum of this system and its related disorders, this review will only deal with the urinary frequency and urgency that occurs in male patients as a consequence of ageing. In the majority of these patients, an overactive bladder is seen to be the culprit. The bladder starts hyperfunctioning, which ultimately leads to more and more urine being formed. As a result, the person constantly feels an ‘urge’ or feeling to urinate frequently. It almost seems as if the person has little to no control left over their urine and it will lead them to face drastic, embarrassing consequences. Therefore, this review will act as an exploratory study and help enlist the causes behind this urinary urgency and frequency that could become a chronic, debilitating condition in the long run. This review will also focus on treating both these symptoms using lifestyle modifications as a first line instead of opting for medications or surgical means to resolve the problem at hand.
