As the saying goes, "People get old and weak, urinate and wet their shoes." The vast majority of men's difficulty urinating is related to their age. Modern medical research has found that prostate hyperplasia, which occurs on the basis of aging, is one of the main causes of difficulty urinating in adult men.
As men age, their prostate gland rapidly ages on the basis of stiffness and sclerosis (also known as "fibrosis"), leading to a decline in the function of their transforming hormone supply to the whole body, unable to meet the needs of the whole body. At this time, a portion of the prostate will grow to compensate for the loss of function, and a portion of the prostate will grow, eventually leading to the occurrence of prostate hyperplasia.
When the front row gland is hyperplastic, it will lead to obstruction or even closure of the prostate of the posterior urethra due to the extrusion of the hyperplastic prostate gland, which will lead to symptoms such as weak urine, thin urine line, dripping urine, retention of urine and other difficult urination.
In order to avoid frequent difficulties in urinating, some patients with BPH have come up with the idea of "solving the problem from the source" by reducing the amount of water consumed to alleviate the symptoms of difficulty urinating. In fact, this clever thinking is extremely wrong.
Reducing the amount of drinking water, on the one hand, effectively prevents the formation of urine, reduces the pressure on the bladder, and reduces the frequency of urination, which can have an immediate effect on preventing frequent urination difficulties; On the other hand, in the case of insufficient drinking water, it also leads to a continuous increase in the concentration of urine inside the bladder and the content of harmful substances in the urine. Under the stimulation of harmful substances, in addition to the bladder and urethra, the prostate is bound to be affected, either causing frequent anterior prostatitis or accelerating the rate of aging and hyperplasia of the prostate gland.
Therefore, for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, even if it is difficult to urinate, it is necessary to pay attention to drinking more water to avoid the frequent occurrence of prostatitis or further deterioration of the condition of benign prostatic hyperplasia due to insufficient water consumption and elevated urine concentration in the bladder.
In addition, several dietary ingredients for prostate maintenance are recommended
1. Garlic
Eating more garlic for men can improve their physique and strengthen their bodies
Garlic, which can prevent prostate cancer, has a strong bactericidal effect and can eliminate bacteria that invade the body. Garlic can promote the absorption of vitamin B1, promote the metabolism of carbohydrates to generate energy, and eliminate fatigue. Another non negligible function of garlic is to enhance immunity. The lead selenide contained in garlic has an antioxidant effect and is therefore considered a food for preventing prostate cancer. Eating more garlic in men can improve their physique and strengthen their bodies.
2. Carrots
Carrots can prevent prostate cancer
Carrots can prevent prostate cancer from transforming into vitamin A in the body, improve the body's resistance, and inhibit reactive oxygen species that cause cell deterioration. Carrots are rich in potassium, which has the effect of lowering blood pressure. Carotene can also prevent cancer.
3. Soybean
Soybean is an excellent food for preventing prostatitis
Soybean contains phytohormones, which can effectively prevent prostatitis and hypertrophy of the prostate. Soybean is an excellent food for men. Japanese men who often eat soy products have a lower risk of developing prostatitis than men in Western countries. Soybeans are also effective in improving bone loss in men. After a man reaches the age of 60, bone loss begins, which is as severe as in menopausal women. Eating more soybeans can supplement lecithin. Lecithin has been proven to be associated with short-term memory and learning ability.
4. Tomato sauce
Tomatoes are a protective net for male diseases
Men who eat more tomatoes add a protective net against prostate cancer because tomatoes contain a large amount of carotenoids called lycopene. But to the surprise of many scientists, tomato juice does not have this protective function. It turns out that lycopene needs to be cooked with fatty foods to be fully absorbed by the body.
