The beginning of winter has passed, which means that winter has truly come to us. Some diseases are particularly prone to recurrences in winter, especially prostate diseases. Therefore, in the cold winter, the most important thing men should do is to take good care of their "vital glands" - the prostate.
Why is prostate disease prone to attack in winter?
Prostate disease is the most common disease among middle-aged and elderly men. Many men do not know that the onset of prostate disease is originally closely related to the season, and cold weather can have adverse effects on the prostate.
This is because, in cold weather, the sympathetic nerve excitability in a man's body increases, causing contraction of the prostate gland, dilation of glands and blood vessels, causing chronic congestion of the prostate, leading to increased internal pressure in the urethra, and even reflux in severe cases. The above changes in turn aggravate the accumulation of prostate fluid, leading to the onset of prostate disease.
"The weather is getting colder, and many people like to sit still at home, resulting in fewer outdoor activities and insufficient drinking water, which in turn reduces the frequency of urination and slows metabolism, exacerbating the symptoms of prostatitis.". In addition, more and more men choose to work indoors in the winter, and wearing heavy winter clothes for long periods of sitting and less exercise are undoubtedly factors that are not conducive to men's health. Especially for patients who have already contracted prostate disease, the recurrence rate in winter is high. Therefore, the number of prostatitis patients who visit the andrology department in winter will increase sharply.
Take care of the prostate from three o'clock
In winter, prostate diseases and their complications tend to occur at a high rate, and the condition is also very easy to deteriorate. The seriously ill may even induce acute urinary retention, hydronephrosis, uremia and endanger life. Middle-aged and elderly friends should start caring for the prostate from now on, it is not too late.
Sex must be controlled
Excessive sexual activity in men is not only bad for the body, but also harmful to the prostate gland. Frequent sexual activity can cause the prostate to become congested, causing or aggravating prostate enlargement. Therefore, it is recommended that young men who are sexually active should not have excessive sexual relations, avoid repeated prostate congestion, and give the prostate sufficient time to recover and recuperate.
Cleaning work should be done well
The male scrotum is also an important part, and it is important to pay attention to the cleaning of this part at ordinary times. The perineum secretes more sweat, coupled with poor ventilation, which can easily be a gathering place for bacteria. Prolonged exposure can lead to prostatitis, prostate hypertrophy, and decreased male sexual function.
Don't forget to keep warm and cold
Keeping warm in winter is a problem that both men and women should pay attention to. If all joints of the body are not kept warm, joint pain can occur in middle age, so special attention should be paid. In addition, cold can enhance the sympathetic nerve excitation, leading to increased internal pressure in the urethra and causing reflux. The prostate tube can also contract and cause excretion disorders, resulting in congestion. In the long run, it will worsen the condition.
In summary, the prostate gland plays a very important role in male reproductive activities. In winter, if you often urinate frequently or urgently, remember to go to the hospital to check if prostate disease is causing it.
