Prolonged and repeated hyperemia of the prostate is one of the causes of chronic prostatitis, and whether it is bacterial or aseptic prostatitis, the inflamed prostate tissue can be extensively congested.
Therefore, when preventing and treating chronic prostatitis, it is very important to pay full attention to preventing factors that may cause or increase prostate congestion.
Smoking is harmful to health. Although most people know about the dangers of smoking, little is known about the effects of smoking on the prostate gland. In fact, toxic substances such as nicotine, tar, nitrosamines, and carbon monoxide in cigarettes can not only directly poison prostate tissue, but also interfere with the neural function that governs blood vessels, affect the blood circulation of the prostate, and can also aggravate prostate congestion.
Alcohol is a drink that has the effect of vasodilation. The phenomenon that people often see as "blushing when drinking" is the result of alcohol expanding facial blood vessels. For internal organs that are invisible from the outside, it is also evident that alcohol dilates blood vessels and causes congestion in the organs, including the prostate. Because some young and middle-aged people have a habit of drinking alcohol for a long time, even excessive drinking, chronic prostatitis is not easy to cure, and even if cured, it is very easy to relapse.
Spicy foods, such as scallions, raw garlic, chili peppers, and peppers, can cause vasodilation and organ congestion. Some patients with chronic prostatitis have a spicy eating habit, often able to control when the symptoms of the disease are severe, but relapse when the symptoms are relieved, which is also an important reason for the persistence and difficulty in healing of prostatitis.
In short, in order to avoid long-term and repeated chronic congestion of prostate tissue, it is necessary to avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy food. Patients with chronic prostatitis must overcome these bad habits, especially during the remission period of the disease, and should pay attention to perseverance to avoid exacerbating the condition due to temporary pain, leading to long-term pain.
