There is no conclusive evidence that the incidence rate of prostate cancer will be higher than that of normal people when they are old and suffer from chronic prostatitis when they are young. Further research is needed. At present, doctors generally conclude that chronic prostatitis does not cause prostate cancer. At least, chronic prostatitis will not directly cause prostate cancer in the near future.
Because prostate cancer has a certain relationship with race, genetics, living environment, prostate hyperplasia, and long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation of the prostate. However, epidemiological studies are difficult to repeatedly prove that there is an inevitable link between chronic prostatitis and prostate cancer. In addition, chronic prostatitis has a high incidence rate among young adults, which does not affect the function of androgen secretion and the characteristics of hormone metabolism. Therefore, there is almost no relationship between prostatitis and prostate cancer.
How should men care for chronic prostatitis?
1. Pessimism makes prostatitis more serious
Prostatitis is no stranger to everyone. After long-term treatment, a small number of patients still have little effect after using various treatment methods, which leads to pessimism. Lack of confidence in life and work, depression, and emotional fragility. This psychological state often aggravates the patient's condition, making unhealthy psychology and disease return, forming a vicious circle.
2. Self-psychological adjustment is very important
The psychological changes of patients with chronic prostatitis in the process of diagnosis and treatment are diverse and complex. If doctors cannot accurately grasp the psychological changes of patients and give effective psychological care, but blindly emphasize the treatment of drugs, it is often difficult to achieve the expected effect, and even affect the physical and psychological health of patients. Therefore, we should know the importance of self-regulating psychological state.
3. Properly conduct sex
Sex should be moderate. Do not indulge or abstain. Moderate sex can relieve the symptoms of prostatitis. But overindulgence will lead to the aggravation of prostate symptoms, so men should control their sexual life frequency.
4. Pay attention to private cleaning
If you do not pay attention to cleaning men's private parts, it is easy to cause the prostate to be attacked by pathogens and bacteria, which will lead to infection and inflammation. So pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene in the process of sexual intercourse to avoid prostatitis caused by infection.
5. Don't hold your breath and urinate on time
Some male white-collar workers prefer not to go to the toilet with a bubble of urine in order to work. In fact, this kind of behavior will make the blood circulation of the prostate blocked, make the prostate silted, and easily cause prostate hyperplasia. Therefore, white-collar workers should not forget their health for work. If you feel like urinating, go to the toilet to urinate.
6. Avoid catching cold
The prostate is rich in adrenal receptors. When it gets cold, it is very easy to cause sympathetic nerve excitation, lead to adrenal contraction, increase the pressure in the urethra, and affect urination, while dysuria will have adverse effects on the prostate.
7. Avoid long sitting
Men who often sit for a long time have a heavier prostate burden. Slow down the blood circulation, lead to chronic congestion and blood stasis of the prostate, accumulation of local metabolites, obstruction of the prostate gland tube, and poor excretion of gland fluid, leading to the occurrence of chronic prostatitis.
8. Keep away from irritating food
Fried and spicy foods are all stimulating foods, and male friends are prone to long-term hyperemia of the prostate after eating them. Nowadays, many men especially like to drink while eating hot pot. Spicy and pungent foods such as chili, scallion, garlic and pepper will lead to vasodilation and organ congestion. With the stimulation of alcohol, the blood vessels of the prostate will continue to expand, and if they are in a state of congestion for a long time, they will induce anterior prostatitis.
There is no inevitable connection between chronic prostatitis and prostate cancer, but we should also take good care of the prostate, which is the guarantee for our health.
