Is prostate hyperplasia related to sexual activity? Beware of abstinence causing prostate hyperplasia
Prostate hyperplasia is a common and frequently occurring disease in elderly men, which deteriorates with age. Some people believe that abstinence does not lead to prostate hyperplasia. This is not the case. Excessive abstinence can actually promote prostate hyperplasia, let's take a look at their causal relationship!
Excessive abstinence can cause prostate hyperplasia:
1. The components of male semen include sperm, seminal vesicle secretion, and prostatic fluid secreted by the prostate gland. These components are mixed and stored in the seminal vesicles. If a man does not ejaculate for a long time, the seminal vesicles will remain in a state of substantial high tension for a long time.
2. When men repeatedly experience sexual impulses and are unable to vent normally, these changes in the relevant organs in the body continue to occur. That is to say, the secretion of prostate fluid increases, local congestion of the prostate, and long-term prostate hyperplasia.
3. Men with normal sexual development inevitably experience frequent sexual impulses, and the reproductive system undergoes corresponding changes with each impulse. For example, the secretion of various related glands increases, and blood vessels also expand and become congested.
Prostate hyperplasia patients often have some adverse conditions
1. Delayed treatment.
Many patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia believe that urination disorders are a manifestation of aging, or that symptoms worsen. After falling ill, they often lose the opportunity to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia and must undergo surgical treatment.
2. The treatment is unreasonable.
Some patients, due to psychological balance, received medication treatment after learning of prostate hyperplasia, but often took medication for a period of time, leading to immediate cessation of medication after the symptoms of urinary disorders were alleviated. In fact, benign prostatic hyperplasia is a progressive disease. Under the guidance of a professional doctor, we should adhere to taking medication to control prostate volume. This can reduce the incidence of acute urinary retention and surgery.
3. Overtreatment
In fact, most patients can control their clinical symptoms through medication, but some patients often undergo surgery due to excessive concerns about the disease, which brings unnecessary pain and economic burden to themselves.
How should patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia be cared for in their daily diet?
1. Dietary care for benign prostatic hyperplasia: Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia do not drink alcohol, eat spicy foods, sugar, refined flour, coffee, or excessively acidic foods such as popsicles.
