Sichuan people are famous for their spicy food and have created unique Sichuan cuisine. This eating habit is inseparable from the climate characteristics of Sichuan. Don't think spicy food is good for health. For men, prostate disease is often related to the habit of eating spicy food. Let's take a look at the main culprit of prostate damage.
Sedentary
The prostate is an attribute gland, similar to an inverted cone, located between the bladder and pelvic floor muscles, covering the urethra. Its position determines that men sit on the prostate, so men who often sit for a long time have a heavy burden on the prostate. Because of pressure, it is easy to cause prostate congestion, local metabolite accumulation, prostate duct obstruction, and poor excretion of glandular fluid, leading to chronic prostatitis.
Alcoholism
After drinking, alcohol is slowly absorbed and flows into the blood to all parts of the body. The prostate is a very sensitive organ to alcohol. After being stimulated by alcohol, it will be excited, and local capillaries will rapidly expand and congest, leading to cell edema. The higher the alcohol concentration in the blood, the more serious the prostate swelling. If the swelling does not release or relax for a long time, it will cause inflammatory symptoms.
Eat spicy food
It is always difficult to control your mouth and stay away from spicy food, such as scallions, raw garlic, pepper, pepper and other stimulating foods, which can cause vasodilation and organ congestion, reduce the resistance of the prostate, and may also lead to the growth and reproduction of prostate bacteria, induce acute prostatitis, or aggravate the symptoms of chronic prostatitis. This is an important reason for the recurrence of prostatitis in some people.
catch cold
The prostate is rich in adrenal receptors. When catching a cold, it is easy to cause sympathetic nerve excitation, lead to gland contraction, increase the internal pressure of the urethra, and affect urination. Difficulty in urination will have adverse effects on the prostate, and a vicious circle will lead to prostate disease.
Hold urine
Prostate disease is most likely to occur and recur in winter, which is related to the fact that many people do not want to get up after cold weather and like to keep urine. Under the low temperature environment, the excitability of the sympathetic nerve of the prostate will be significantly enhanced, which will make the prostate contract, cause chronic congestion, increase the pressure of the urethra, aggravate the deposition of prostate fluid, and easily lead to the onset of prostate disease. If the urine is maintained at this time, the reduction of the number of urination will lead to slow metabolism and aggravate the symptoms of prostatitis.
