In a recent advice column by Denník N, urologist Martina Serátor addresses concerns about how cold weather affects urological health. A reader named Blažej, who is 67 years old, experiences worsening prostate problems when exposed to colder environments and inquires about the efficacy of wearing warmer clothing both day and night. Serátor notes that while men are typically less sensitive to cold than women, those with chronic prostatitis or a history of prostate inflammation can be more susceptible to the effects of cold weather.

Serátor highlights that winter months often see a resurgence of urological issues among men, particularly during inclement weather when temperatures drop. She emphasizes the importance of dressing warmly as a preventive measure to lessen discomfort, although she warns that if problems are already present, simply adding layers may not suffice for improvement. The advice aims to inform readers on practical steps they can take to manage symptoms and when to seek further medical consultation for persistent issues.

The column serves to educate the public about common yet often overlooked health issues related to urological problems, particularly in older men. By providing scientific insights and debunking myths around health practices, it encourages readers to take proactive steps towards their health and reinforce the importance of appropriate clothing for their wellbeing during winter months.
