According to a survey, nearly half of men suffer from prostatitis throughout their lives. This disease not only torments male physiology, but also causes additional complications. Long term inflammation of the prostate can affect the patient's fertility and life. How do male friends protect the prostate?
Prostatitis has five major hazards
1. Affects fertility
Male infertility. Long term chronic inflammation will change the composition of prostatic fluid, affect the secretion function of the prostate, and then affect the liquefaction time of semen, reduce sperm motility, leading to male infertility.
2. Affects normal life
Affects work and life. Due to the stimulation of inflammation, a series of symptoms such as swelling and pain in the lumbosacral region, perineum, testicles, incomplete urination, and frequent nocturia can occur, making patients irritable and affecting their work and life.
3. Causing gynecological inflammation
Prostatitis can be transmitted to wives, especially those caused by special pathogenic bacteria. The inflammation can be transmitted to wives through sexual intercourse channels. For example, fungal prostatitis, trichomonal prostatitis, gonococcal prostatitis, non gonococcal prostatitis, etc.
4. Causing chronic nephritis
Developing into uremia. If prostatitis is not treated in a timely manner, it may lead to prostate hyperplasia, compress the bladder outlet, and prevent complete discharge of urine, resulting in residual urine. Residual urine is a good cultural foundation for bacterial reproduction. The defense mechanism of the bladder mucosa is damaged, which can easily cause urinary tract infections such as pyelonephritis. At this time, incomplete treatment can lead to pyelonephritis, hydronephrosis, and eventually develop into nephritis and eventually uremia.
5. Endocrine disorders
Under normal circumstances, the prostate gland can secrete various active substances that can cause mental disorders. Symptoms such as prostate inflammation, endocrine disorders, neurasthenia, mental disorders, insomnia and dreaminess, weakness and dizziness, slow thinking, and decreased memory also occur.
Since the harm of prostatitis is so great, how to protect the prostate from prostate diseases?
(1) Drink more water and urinate more. In daily life, male friends can drink more water and urinate more to prevent prostatitis. Drinking water and urinating in a timely manner can avoid high concentration of urine from stimulating the prostate. Drinking more water can dilute the concentration of urine and timely eliminate bacteria in the urine. Please be careful not to stop urinating. Stopping urine is not beneficial for the bladder and prostate. Stopping urine can cause the bladder to become overfilled, weaken the bladder's forced urinary muscle tone, make urination difficult, and easily induce acute urine retention. After the bladder is full of urine, it should be urinated immediately to eliminate the compression and stimulation of the prostate caused by bladder filling. In daily life, taking tea as a drink can prevent and improve urinary system inflammation. Eucommia ulmoides, cordyceps sinensis, goji berries, and mulberry grass have anti-inflammatory and sterilization effects, clearing dampness and heat, tonifying the kidneys and qi, and nourishing qi and blood.
