As middle-aged people age, their sensory organs gradually become less sensitive, and their sense of thirst decreases, making them less likely to experience strong sensations due to a lack of water in their bodies. In addition, due to their busy work, they often neglect to supplement water, leaving their cells in a long-term "water deficient" state.
"If human organs and tissue cells are not nourished with sufficient water for a long time, they will inevitably shrink. Concentrated body fluids (blood and urine) are not only prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, urinary system stones, but also prone to damage to organs along the way of urination due to urine concentration and reduced frequency of urination, with the prostate being the most vulnerable.".
Drinking water can protect the prostate "src="//img. jiangke. com/article/201601/20160105205404667. jpg "/>
Prostate fluid produced by the prostate is gradually discharged into the posterior urethra and flushed out of the body with each urination. Generally, the discharge of prostate fluid is very small. For men with long urination intervals, prostate fluid may accumulate and concentrate in the posterior urethra for a long time, which may cause irritation to the urethra and easily induce infection. It may even "escape" to the outer urethral orifice without urination, causing the urethral orifice to become red, and individuals may experience discomfort symptoms such as swelling and pain in the urethral orifice, resulting in "white dripping" phenomenon. In addition, a decrease in the amount of drinking water can cause concentrated urine and reduce the frequency of urination. The harmful substances in urine are also very detrimental to the health of the prostate, kidneys, and bladder.
In the absence of heart and kidney disease, men should develop the habit of regularly replenishing water. Drinking 1500 to 2000 milliliters of boiled water or tea every day can fully flush the urethra through urine, which is conducive to the discharge of prostate secretions and can ensure the safety of the prostate. Even for patients with prostate disease who have frequent urination symptoms, it is necessary to drink more water. To avoid excessive bladder filling and frequent waking up after sleep, which may affect rest, it is recommended to reduce the amount of water consumed at night and adjust to drinking more during the day.
