If your prostate is enlarged, it is constricting your urethra and impairing the flow of urine. Removal of your prostate would release the constriction and improve the flow of urine. There are other effects of removing the prostate,and there may be other treatments available. Your physician should explain them all to you, as well as the other effects.

How do you help a female child urinate for a urinalysis?
1. take off your pants and underwear
2. sit on the toilet
3. spread your legs apart as far as they go
4. with your fingers on one hand, spread apart your lips
5. wipe across where you pee out of with the sterile wipes
6. pee just a tiny bit into the toilet
7. with the other hand, hold the cup up to where you pee out of
8. pee the rest in the cup
Just wipe with the sterile wipe they give you and sit on the toilet and pee into the cup. It's not that hard. If you have wiped and is clean you do not have to spread the labia, in fact you should not touch the area at all after you've wiped it. You can also pee into something else, as long as it's clean, if it's easier with something bigger, and then pour it over into the cup. You can even pee into a empty clean jam jar and bring it to the doctor and pour it over there. The cups used in hospitals are not sterile so the jar doesn't have to be, just clean.

Why does my Urine smells really bad?
Human urine does not typically have a strong smell. The first urination of the day (after first waking) will normally have a stronger odor than others, but a persistent, strong, disagreeable smell may be an indication of a health issue. However, it may also be related to diet; some foods contain compounds that are excreted in the urine and produce a foul smell (asparagus is a notable offender).
If this just started happening, and you haven't made any recent significant changes in your diet, you may want to see a physician to rule out any health concerns ... one thing that can cause foul-smelling urine is liver failure, which is a serious condition. ("The liver's important. You need it to live. Hence the name.")
Why is there protein in the glomerular filtrate and urine?
The inflammation would increase the permeability of your glomeruli. This retraction of the epithelium will allow the larger protein molecules to go through the filtrate.
Blood in urine is not a normal phenomenon which is a sign of many diseases, including urinary tract infection, kidney disease, enlarged prostate, etc. You should go to see a doctor as soon as you can if you notice blood in urine. Blood in urine caused by prostatitis or uti can be treated with Chinese herbal medicine called diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill.
Where does urine go when it exits the kidneys?
No where, because if your kidneys have shut down then they are not making any pee, so there is no pee to go anywhere.

What causes women to need to get up and urinate often during the night?
you could possibly have a bladder infection
Vegetarians, those that eat many vegetables and not too much protein have a urine pH closer to alkaline or basic to where the kidneys are not having to work hard at all.
The blood has to be 7.4 always. However, to have a urine pH that is higher than 7.4 is ok. One definitely would not want it to be lower. The more basic-- the better for your kidneys. For your body to break down excess protein, means your kidneys are having to process it's nitrogenous bi-products. & in order for the kidneys to help regulate pH to keep the blood at 7.4 they have to compensate much more.

What is the major function of the kidney?
They filter toxins from the blood The kidneys are trash collectors. Each day, your kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood to sift out about 2 quarts of waste products and extra water. The waste and extra water become urine, which flows to your bladder through tubes called ureters. Your bladder stores urine until you go to the bathroom.

How many liters of water can kidney filtrate each day?
What hold urine are not the kidneys, which have the vital function of filtering the blood through renal corpuscles which is composed of a glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule. The renal corpuscle (or Malphigian corpuscle) is the beginning of the nephron. It is the nephron's initial filtering component.
The bladder holds the urine, and can't hold so much urine like liters. The normal capacity is 400 to 600 ml.
Do girls pee a lot before there periods?
No, not for most girls, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Hormones play a large role in when a girl has her first period, and can also affect how her body reacts or feels during this time. Also, if the girl has cramps that are really bad, the pain itself can actually cause nausea or vomiting.
Just keep in mind that the vomiting may be caused by something completely unrelated, so if it lasts more than a day or two, you need to see your doctor.
Not really. The only real use is for hydration in a survival situation.Urine of a healthy person should be sterile as it leaves the body.
