Prostate gland is one of the unique organs of men, which is of great significance for their health. "When the prostate gland is enlarged or inflamed, it not only hinders urination and marital life, but also leads to infertility.". Research has found that there is an important relationship between the onset of prostate cancer and people's living habits. Taken together, there are probably several behaviors that can harm prostate health.
1. Smoker
According to a survey, the prevalence of prostate disease among smokers is 1-2 times higher than among non smokers. Tobacco contains over 1200 compounds, most of which are harmful to human health, mainly nicotine, cyanide, and carbon monoxide. The more smoking, the greater the prostate damage.
2. Eating without restraint
Frequent consumption of spicy and acidic foods and alcohol can cause vasodilation and promote prostate congestion. Long term alcoholics can exacerbate prostate congestion, trigger inflammation, or worsen the original condition.
3. Repress and be frightened
The prostate is rich in adrenergic receptors, which can easily cause sympathetic nerve excitation when suppressed, leading to gland contraction, increasing internal pressure in the urethra, and affecting urination; "Difficulty in urination can have a negative impact on the prostate, and a vicious cycle can cause prostate lesions.".
4. Diseases such as constipation
A large amount of feces accumulated in the rectum in constipation can aggravate adjacent prostate congestion. At the same time, people with constipation often exert excessive force during defecation, increasing abdominal pressure, and compressing the prostate, which can cause the urethra to become thinner and impede urination, which is detrimental to the health of the prostate.
5. Accidental injury such as infection
When inserting a catheter yourself or massaging the prostate, pay attention to cleaning and disinfection. To avoid infection, which exacerbates prostate enlargement and makes urination more difficult.
6. Extrusion
Prolonged sitting or frequent cycling can compress the prostate gland for a long time, resulting in poor local blood circulation. Especially when riding a bicycle, friction between the seat and the perineum can stimulate the upper segment of the urethra and prostate, promote chronic hyperplasia, hardening, swelling, or even inflammation of subcutaneous tissue, and oppress the urethra and prostate, which can easily lead to prostate disease and difficulty urinating.
7. Suffocation of urine
Frequently holding urine artificially can make the bladder fill and swell, leading to weakness in urination, and exacerbating the symptoms of prostate hypertrophy.
