Doctors say that with the popularization of the internet, surfing the internet has become an important leisure activity for college students. There are many who are addicted to it. For them, staying up late online is a common occurrence, as it can easily cause damage to their prostate gland.
Traditionally, prostatitis is more common in middle-aged and elderly men. However, with the development of the times, some unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as excessive drinking, eating spicy food, as well as prolonged sitting, staying up late, cycling, irregular sexual activity, and insufficient drinking water, have become the most common causes of prostatitis.
Long sitting is considered the most important triggering factor for prostate disease. Because prolonged sitting is a continuous stimulation and pressure on the prostate, an organ. People who ride bicycles for a long time are prone to this disease, so prostatitis is also known as "bicycle disease".
In addition, smoking, mental excitement, and holding urine are all important factors that can lead to the onset of prostate disease when staying up late and surfing the internet. Therefore, among internet addicts, many students often suffer from varying degrees of prostate disease. If attention is not paid to intervention or prevention, the occurrence of chronic prostate disease will also become inevitable.
Doctors point out that although about 50% of men are affected by prostatitis at some point in their lives, many patients can heal themselves and not all patients require antibiotic treatment.
For some patients, on weekdays, as long as they abstain from alcohol, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, drink more water, avoid holding urine, sitting for a long time, and fatigue, pay attention to keeping warm, strengthen physical exercise, and take more hot water sitz baths, the condition will be alleviated and improved.
More and more young people are becoming a group of patients with prostate diseases, which should be a cause for concern. Experts say that prostate diseases often have a significant impact on the quality of life of young people, with severe cases leading to infertility. Therefore, experts advise students to stay away from internet addiction and keep themselves clean.
And correct hygiene habits can also help prevent prostate diseases. Try to wear loose pants as much as possible, and avoid wearing jeans or tight pants every day, especially in hot weather. Don't force yourself not to go to the bathroom, sit for a long time, or ride a bicycle for a long time. It is best not to wash underwear and socks together.
In addition, when dealing with prostate diseases, it is important to believe that the disease can be prevented and treated, and not to have "suspicious diseases". Excessive psychological burden and high mental tension can actually increase the risk of disease or worsen the condition.
