The prostate is known as a man's vital gland. If there is a problem with the prostate, it will undoubtedly be very troublesome for you. Prostate cancer is a disease with a high incidence in men, with a high incidence occurring around the age of 60. But with changes in dietary habits and the environment, prostate cancer is also gradually becoming younger.
The prostate gland is too large for hyperplasia
The actual size of the prostate is only 40 × thirty × About 20mm in chestnut shape. As men age, hormone metabolism, prostate tissue will continue to proliferate. When hyperplasia reaches a certain level, symptoms will appear. The typical symptoms are frequent and urgent urination, and excessive nocturnal urination. I have to get up several times a night.
Some men's prostate gland can become as large as an egg after developing tissue hyperplasia. If symptoms of prostate hyperplasia seriously affect life, surgical treatment should be considered. If only treated with medication, it is difficult to control the continued hyperplasia of the prostate. However, asymptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia requires regular examination.
According to research data, the prostate gland of white people is larger than that of yellow people. If the prostate is smaller than its actual size, it may be due to atrophy or inflammation, calcification, etc.
Prevention of prostate cancer after age 50
Prostate cancer should be actively prevented after the age of 50, striving for a PSA examination every year. PSA is a specific antigen for prostate cancer and has important reference significance in prostate cancer screening. If the PSA index is too high, further checks are needed.
Patients with prostate cancer in their families need to be examined earlier. After the age of 40, a prostate cancer screening is required. If detected early, it can also achieve good therapeutic results.
Is eating tomatoes good for the prostate
Western researchers believe that eating tomatoes can prevent prostate cancer. Because tomatoes contain lycopene, it is beneficial for the maintenance of the prostate gland. But these studies are aimed at Western populations, not yellow people. There are significant racial differences in the prostate gland, so whether eating tomatoes in the yellow race can protect the prostate gland still needs further research.
Three ways for men to maintain their prostate gland
1. Drink plenty of water
Drinking more water can help flush the urethra and reduce the chance of prostate infection. Drinking water can dilute the concentration of urine and reduce its harm to the prostate.
2. Don't hold your urine
Patients with chronic prostatitis have the habit of holding urine. High concentrations of urine can stimulate the prostate gland. Prolonged stimulation can cause inflammation of the prostate.
3. Don't sit too long
Maintaining a sitting position for a long time can affect the local microcirculation of the prostate. And the blood circulation in the perineum is not smooth, which can constantly stimulate the prostate, leading to inflammation of the prostate. After an hour of sitting for a long time, get up and exercise appropriately.
4. Controlled frequency of life
Do not indulge in excess, nor excessive abstinence. Frequent sexual activity keeps the prostate in a congested state for a long time, so it is important to exercise moderation and avoid repeated prostate congestion, especially during the sexually active youth.
