As soon as frequent urination, urgent urination and weak waist and knee occur, many men will self-diagnose as "prostatitis", even because they are afraid that the trilogy of "impotence, infertility and cancer" will follow, and they will bear a heavy psychological burden.
The prostate is a private part, and some men find it difficult to speak. But in fact, you can do something beneficial to the prostate to alleviate it. Of course, it is better to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
Squatting to urinate
Squatting urination can prevent prostatitis, which has been circulating on the Internet for a long time, even being teased by netizens to say, "Are you still standing urinating? You OUT!" According to the microblog, men's urethra is long, and they are prone to urination (the professional slang is called "residual urine"), which in the long run can cause urinary tract infection, stone formation, etc.
Standing urination is easy to produce residual urine. Because squatting urination is adopted, the principle of body position drainage can make residual urine basically disappear, reducing the chronic irritation of residual urine to prostate and urethra. In addition, squatting position can increase abdominal pressure and accelerate urine excretion. This statement is theoretically feasible, but it still lacks rigorous research to confirm.
Regular life
Many middle-aged couples usually greatly reduce the number of times they have sex, which is very detrimental to prostate health care. Every time a man is sexually excited, the prostate and seminal vesicle are highly congested, and can gradually return to normal after ejaculation. When a man does not ejaculate for a long time, the seminal vesicle will continue to be in a full and high tension state, and the prostatic fluid will be silted up, resulting in prostate congestion, which may lead to prostatitis in the long run.
Don't hold your urine
Prostate disease is most likely to occur and recur in winter, which is related to the fact that many people are unwilling to stay up and like to hold urine in cold weather. Under the low temperature environment, the excitability of the sympathetic nerve of the prostate would have been significantly enhanced, causing the contraction of the prostate gland, causing chronic hyperemia, increasing the pressure in the urethra, aggravating the accumulation of prostate fluid, and easily leading to the onset of prostate disease. If you hold your urine again at this time, the reduction of the number of urination will lead to slower metabolism, which will aggravate the symptoms of prostatitis.
Drink plenty of water
Drinking more water will cause more urination, and urine with high concentration will cause more stimulation to the prostate, so drink more water to dilute the concentration of urine.
Daily sitz bath
The temperature of warm water should be 40 ℃. It can not only activate blood, improve microcirculation, relax the prostate, but also help promote the absorption and dissipation of inflammation. This method is mainly recommended for middle-aged and elderly men who have completed the reproductive task. It is better not to use this method for young and childless men, because "high temperature" has the effect of killing sperm.
Eat less spicy and more vegetables
Stimulating foods such as garlic, chili and pepper can cause vasodilation and organ congestion, reduce the resistance of the prostate, and may also allow the bacterial population living in the prostate to grow and multiply in large numbers, induce acute prostatitis, or aggravate the symptoms of chronic prostatitis.
Eating vegetables can help keep the stool unobstructed, so that the prostate, as the neighbor of the rectum, can get a better rest environment. It is always difficult to control your mouth, keep away from spicy food, and eat less vegetables, which is an important reason for the recurrence of prostatitis in some people.
Don't drink too much
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 the local capillaries will expand and congest rapidly, causing edema of cells. The higher the alcohol concentration in the blood, the more severe the prostate swelling. If the swelling is not released and relaxed for a long time, it will cause inflammation symptoms.
