According to the survey, nearly half of men suffer from prostatitis all their lives. This disease will not only afflict the physiology of men, but also cause additional complications. The long-term inflammation of prostate will affect the fertility and life of patients. How do male friends protect the prostate?
Five hazards of prostatitis
1. Affect fertility
Male infertility. Long-term chronic inflammation will change the composition of prostate fluid, affect the secretion function of prostate, and then affect the liquefaction time of semen, reduce sperm vitality, and lead to male infertility.
2. Affect normal life
Affect work and life. Due to the stimulation of inflammation, a series of symptoms, such as swelling and pain in lumbosacral, perineum, testicles and other parts, endless urination, frequent nocturnal urination and so on, make patients fidgety and affect work and life.
3. Cause gynecological inflammation
Prostatitis can be transmitted to the wife, especially prostatitis caused by some special bacterial infections. Its inflammation can be transmitted to the wife through sexual intercourse. For example, mycotic prostatitis, trichomonal prostatitis, gonococcal prostatitis, non-gonococcal prostatitis, etc.
4. Causes chronic nephritis
Develop into uremia. If prostatitis is not treated in time, it may lead to prostatic hyperplasia, oppress the bladder outlet, make urine not completely discharged, and urine residue. Residual urine is a good cultural basis for bacterial reproduction. The defense mechanism of bladder mucosa is damaged, which is easy to cause urinary tract infection such as pyelonephritis. At this time, the treatment is not complete, and pyelonephritis, hydronephrosis, etc. develop into nephritis, and finally develop into uremia.
5. Endocrine disorder
Cause mental disorders. Normally, the prostate can secrete various active substances. Prostate inflammation, endocrine disorders, neurasthenia, mental disorders, insomnia and dreaminess, weakness and dizziness, slow thinking, memory loss and other symptoms also appear.
What is the inducement of prostatitis
One of the inducements: prostate congestion
Congestion caused by various reasons, especially passive congestion, is an important cause of prostatitis. The onset of patients is often not caused by bacterial infection and microbial invasion, but caused by inflammation and prostatitis. Congestion is common in life:
● Abnormal sexual life. Excessive sexual life, forced interruption of sexual intercourse, or excessive masturbation can make the prostate abnormal hyperemia. However, excessive abstinence in sexual life will also produce automatic excitation for a long time, resulting in passive congestion.
● Squeeze the perineum directly. Cycling, cycling, sedentary and other perineal injuries and prostate congestion are common, especially long time cycling.
● Unhealthy lifestyle. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, bad living habits such as excessive drinking and greedy greasy food are easy to cause endogenous dampness and heat, which accumulate in the reproductive organs and cause sexual excitement.
● Massage is too heavy. External stimulation caused by inappropriate prostate massage and other medical behaviors, such as excessive or frequent manipulation, can cause prostate congestion.
● catch a cold. A cold can cause the sympathetic nerve of the human body to be excited, the internal pressure of the urethra to increase, and the contraction of the prostate tube hinders the excretion of prostate fluid, resulting in stasis congestion.
Countermeasures: Patients with chronic prostatitis should take corresponding treatment measures according to the inducing factors. Congestive factors are the main cause of prostatitis. Various factors of passive congestion should be eliminated. The frequency of sexual life should be moderate, and cycling should not be long. Chinese medicine should be used to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
Inducement 2: urinary irritation
Urine stimulation is called chemical factor in medicine. According to Dr. Wang, the urine contains a variety of acid-base chemicals. When the patient's local neuroendocrine disorder, urethral pressure is too high, and the opening of the prostate tube is damaged, uric acid and other irritant chemicals flow back into the prostate, causing chronic prostatitis.
Countermeasures: Ask a doctor to regulate the urine acidity and inflammation.
Inducement 3: pathogenic microorganism infection
Bacteria, protozoa, fungi, viruses and other microorganisms have become the source of infection of prostatitis, among which bacteria are the most common, such as gonococcus and non-gonococcus. There are three main channels of bacterial invasion. First, hematogenous infection. Clinically, more than 90% of bacterial prostatitis is caused by microbial infection. The second is lymphatic infection. For example, urinary tract infection and inflammation of colon and rectum can infect the prostate through lymphatic channels and produce inflammation. The third is direct spread. When men urinate, the urine passes through the prostate, and the bacteria in the urine can directly enter the prostate, causing prostate infection.
Countermeasures: antibiotic treatment, combined with traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat, removing dampness, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
Inducement 4: anxiety, depression, fear
Experts found that 50% of chronic non-bacterial prostatitis patients have symptoms of anxiety, depression, fear, pessimism and other symptoms of excessive stress. Prostate patients with pain and neurasthenia often exaggerate physical discomfort and pain, and their conscious symptoms are often greater than the actual condition, which is called "tension prostatitis". Psychological factors are related to age. The mental burden of young patients is significantly heavier than that of older patients, which often directly affects the effect of drug treatment.
Countermeasures: People with worsening symptoms due to psychological factors should receive psychological guidance while taking drugs, maintain a bright and optimistic mood, focus on work and colorful amateur life, do not pay too much attention to the slight changes in symptoms, and treat in the professional outpatient service of a regular hospital to avoid delaying the deterioration of the disease.
Inducement 5: immune factors, allergy
Studies have shown that chronic prostatitis is related to autoimmune factors. Some experts found that patients with arthritis have anti-prostate antibodies. Such patients often produce anti-prostate antibodies due to congenital or acquired immune deficiency, resulting in prostate tissue damage. If the patient has no evidence of bacterial, viral and mycoplasma infection after examination, the existence of immune factors can be considered.
Clinically, allergic reactions to certain viruses can also cause inflammation. In particular, patients with low muscle resistance are highly sensitive to the virus and prone to chronic prostatitis.
Countermeasures: For prostatitis caused by immune and allergic factors, it is effective to use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate immune function.
Five dietary points are helpful for the recovery of prostatitis
1. Vegetables and fruits: Prostate men can eat more watermelon, melon, grape, kiwi, sugar cane, water chestnut, winter melon, cucumber, etc. This kind of food tastes sweet and cool. It has the effect of diuresis and drenching. It can clear heat and detoxify, remove dampness and diuresis, and inhibit prostatitis.
2. Zinc-containing food: There is a certain relationship between the number of sperm and the trace element zinc in the human body. The food with the highest zinc content is oyster, and other foods such as beef, milk, chicken, chicken liver, egg yolk, shellfish, peanuts, cereals, beans, potatoes, and brown sugar contain a certain amount of zinc.
3. Dried fruits and cereals: Men can eat more red beans, mung beans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, Job's tears, walnut kernels, sesame seeds, etc., because these foods are rich in trace elements and a large number of B vitamins, which have good nutritional effects, and have the functions of clearing heat, reducing fire, killing insects, moistening the intestines, etc., which can kill bacteria, remove constipation, make the prostate gland smooth, and eliminate inflammation.
4. Animal viscera: animal viscera contains a lot of cholesterol, which is an important component of synthetic sex hormones. Men can eat more animal viscera to maintain the prostate.
5. Food containing arginine: arginine is an essential component of sperm formation. Food with a particularly sticky appearance is rich in arginine. Men can eat more food containing arginine, such as eel, loach, sea cucumber, cuttlefish, octopus, silkworm pupa, chicken, frozen tofu, seaweed, peas, etc.
