To some extent, male aging begins with the prostate gland. Before a single strand of white hair has grown, there is already a feeling of dripping profusely during urination, and there may even be slight pain. This indicates that your prostate is sounding an "alarm". Generally speaking, after the age of 35, men's prostate, like the lumbar and cervical vertebrae, is prone to degenerative diseases. Although the harm to the body is not serious, we need to take careful care of it in various aspects such as nutrition supplementation and lifestyle habits, so that the "aging" of the prostate can be better and slower.
At the age of 35, the prostate begins to "age"
It is difficult for men to overcome the barrier of "prostate disease" in the process of transitioning from youth to old age. Many people become extremely nervous and seek medical attention once they notice symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, pain, difficulty urinating, etc. This has led to small advertisements for treating this disease being posted all over the streets in recent years. In fact, middle-aged and elderly men suffer from prostate diseases, just like we do with the common cold. A survey shows that 35% -50% of men will suffer from prostatitis throughout their lives; Men over the age of 40 begin to experience varying degrees of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Among men over 50 years old in China, 40% suffer from benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Generally speaking, the prostate gland of a normal adult male is the size of a "chestnut". At the age of 25, the antioxidant capacity of the prostate reaches its peak and then begins to decline. After the age of 35, due to insufficient antioxidant capacity, the male prostate begins to experience mild discomfort. Prostate hyperplasia and prostatitis are common prostate diseases. The current prostate gland becomes larger and larger with age, possibly reaching the size of a "duck egg" or "goose egg", which is known as prostate hyperplasia. The symptoms of early benign prostatic hyperplasia are mainly divided into two types: one is the symptoms during the urine storage period, manifested as frequent urination, urgency, increased nocturia, and urgent urinary incontinence; Another type is symptoms during the urination period, manifested as weak urination, waiting for urination, etc. Prostatitis can be divided into acute, chronic bacterial, and non bacterial types, and is mostly chronic in clinical practice. The main symptoms include frequent urination, urgency, pain, incomplete urination, difficulty urinating, and discomfort in the perineum, lower abdomen, penis, scrotum, and lumbosacral region. A large-scale survey in China shows that the age range of 31-40 is currently the age group with the highest incidence of prostatitis.
Experts have conducted a survey on the relationship between prostate and urination. The results showed that among 465 male professional drivers aged 35 and above surveyed, nearly three adults did not know that male normal urination should be completed within one minute, nearly five adults believed that longer urination time was not a problem, and seven adults refused to seek medical attention due to longer urination time, mostly because they did not know it was a disease. In fact, the ability to urinate clearly within 1 minute is a simple and practical standard for men over 40 to determine whether they have prostate problems. In addition, signals of prostate disease also include: significantly longer urination time; Poor continuity of urination with a ticking sensation; Difficulty in urination and significant thinning of the urinary tract in the later stage; Increased frequency of nocturia in middle-aged and elderly men. After the symptoms of these prostate diseases appear, there is no need to worry too much. Timely treatment and adjusting lifestyle habits can play a certain role in prevention and improvement.
