"Don't blindly tolerate" prostatitis
Prostatitis patients must not be "ninjas". Experts point out that the prostate is most afraid of holding urine. "Sitting for a long time and holding urine is very easy to cause prostatitis. Holding urine for a long time can make the bladder full and swollen, cause increased local pressure and poor blood flow, aggravate prostate edema, cause urination disorders, and even induce acute urinary retention." In addition, holding urine for a long time can also make the bacteria in the urethra unable to wash away, and thus multiply in large numbers, resulting in urinary system infection.
Proper living and exercise play a significant role in the maintenance and protection of the prostate gland. Tai Chi Boxing and walking can improve the blood circulation of prostate tissue, facilitate the absorption of local inflammation, and also enhance the body's immune system.
In addition, consciously drinking more water and urinating can also prevent disease, because frequent flushing of the urethra through urine helps the prostate secrete and excrete, which is beneficial to preventing repeated infections.
Patients with prostatitis should also avoid excessive drinking and consuming large amounts of spicy food to avoid exacerbating the condition. You should eat more fruits, especially apples, because apples have a high zinc content, and patients with prostatitis often lack zinc, so eating more apples can also help prevent.
TIP: Prevent prostatitis without getting cold
The prostate is rich in adrenal receptors, which can easily cause sympathetic nerve stimulation when it gets cold, leading to adrenal contraction, increasing pressure in the urethra, and affecting urination. However, difficulty in urination can have adverse effects on the prostate.
Hot hip baths can identify prostatitis
"The symptoms of prostatitis are often not obvious and can be easily confused. Therefore, it is necessary to first recognize prostatitis in daily life, and learn to recognize prostatitis through hot water hip baths.".
The first category is prostate pain symptoms. The main manifestations are lumbar pain, slight pain in the perineum, lower abdomen, bilateral inguinal regions, testicles, anus, and other places, and discomfort in falling and swelling. Clinically, it has been found that some young patients with abdominal pain are treated as gastrointestinal diseases in the internal medicine department due to undetectable abdominal pain, which inevitably leads to ineffective or even delayed treatment.
The second category is urinary symptoms. The main manifestations are difficulty in urinating, such as laborious urination, prolonged urination time, unclear urination, thinning of urinary lines, interruption of urine flow, and even the appearance of droplets or inability to urinate. Some of these patients are found to have mild bladder irritation symptoms and have long-term ineffective treatment based on urinary tract infection, which also delays the optimal treatment opportunity.
The third category is sexual dysfunction symptoms. There are mainly impotence, premature ejaculation, spermatorrhea, infertility, etc. Some patients with sexual dysfunction blindly take drugs such as tonifying kidney yang and tonifying kidney essence, which can worsen their condition. Finally, examination revealed that chronic prostatitis was the root cause of their illness.
How to identify prostatitis through hot water sitz baths? If you find yourself suffering from one of the three types of symptoms, you can take a hot water sitz bath 1-2 times a day, each time for 20 minutes. The water temperature should always be around 50 degrees Celsius, and you should continue to receive treatment for 5 days. If you find that the symptoms alleviate or disappear, you are likely to be suffering from chronic prostatitis.
Experts say that self-diagnosis through hot water hip baths is simple and easy to use, with no toxic side effects, and is helpful for diagnosis and treatment.
