Chronic stress is an often underestimated factor that can impact urological health.
At Sioufi Urology Clinic, we highlight the importance of stress management to avoid conditions such as urinary incontinence, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and erectile dysfunction disorders.
When the body is under prolonged stress, it produces increased amounts of stress hormones, such as cortisol, which can affect the functioning of the bladder muscles and urinary system. This can lead to an overactive bladder and frequent urine leakage. Stress has also been linked to worsening symptoms of BPH in men, including frequent urges to urinate and difficulty emptying the bladder completely.
Stress management involves several effective strategies, including regular practice of relaxing activities such as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing techniques. Physical exercise is also an excellent way to release stress while improving overall health. At Clinique Sioufi Urologie, we encourage our patients to adopt a balanced lifestyle, including good stress management, to improve their urinary health.
