The prostate is the largest gonad in the male reproductive organs, and it is also a very delicate gland. It can easily induce diseases such as prostatitis if you are not careful. Cold weather in autumn and winter makes the prostate easy to catch cold, becoming an important factor in the high incidence of prostatitis in autumn and winter. So, how to effectively prevent prostatitis in autumn and winter?
How to Prevent Prostatitis for Men in Autumn and Winter
1. Drink plenty of water
Reduced drinking water can lead to concentrated urine and reduced urination times, which can have adverse effects on the prostate and other organs (kidneys, bladder, etc.). So although sweating has decreased during the cold season, you should also drink more water.
2. Do not hold back urine
The weather is colder in autumn and winter, and many people are reluctant to climb out of their warm quilts and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. However, holding urine can cause excessive bladder filling and pressure on the prostate. For patients with prostate disease, it can easily cause urine reflux, causing harm to high-level organs (kidneys and ureters).
3. Abstain from acrimony
Spicy foods such as alcohol and chili peppers can stimulate the prostate and urethra, causing temporary perineal discomfort, as well as causing congestion and edema in the prostate and bladder neck, resulting in reduced prostate resistance. Therefore, in cold autumn and winter, it is best not to rely on eating spicy food and drinking a large amount of alcohol to keep warm.
4. Thermal insulation
Local warming can reduce muscle tissue contraction and restore the hyperemia and edema of the prostate. Keeping warm can also prevent colds, as many cold medicines can worsen the symptoms of some prostate diseases.
5. Don't sit long
In autumn and winter, many people are reluctant to go out, especially some elderly people prefer to sit at home. Sitting for a long time can place a heavier burden on the prostate, and many patients with prostate diseases will feel that sitting for a long time makes them very uncomfortable. Therefore, in autumn and winter, it is necessary to avoid entertainment that involves sitting for a long time or requires sitting for a long time, such as playing mahjong.
What to eat to treat prostatitis
1. Apple
Prostate contains a certain amount of antibacterial factors, the main component of which is zinc. When people suffer from chronic prostatitis, the zinc content significantly decreases and is difficult to increase. Compared with commonly used zinc containing drugs, apple juice is more effective than drugs with high zinc content, and has the characteristics of safety, easy digestion and absorption, and easy acceptance by patients.
2. Tomato
Tomatoes and carrots contain large amounts of β Carotene, which boosts your body's ability to absorb lycopene from tomatoes, may reduce the risk of prostatitis by 32%.
3. Watermelon
Watermelon, like tomatoes, also contains a large amount of lycopene. A slice of an inch long watermelon contains lycopene equal to four tomatoes.
4. Fresh grapes
"Fresh grapes, peeled, pitted, mashed, and served with warm boiled water.".
5. Kiwi fruit
It has the effects of clearing heat and promoting fluid production. Using fresh kiwi fruit, mashing with warm boiled water, mixing well, and drinking can treat the astringency and pain of urine caused by prostatitis.
