The scorching heat is finally over, and the weather will gradually turn cooler. While paying attention to adding clothes in the morning and evening, everyone should also take good care of their physical health. For men, protecting the health of the prostate is particularly important. In particular, men with prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia are prone to relapse and aggravation in cold weather, and are prone to frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination and other symptoms, which can lead to acute urinary retention and hydronephrosis in severe cases.
As for how to protect the prostate, try the following methods:
Drink more water every day. Flushing the urethra through urination can promote the discharge of prostate secretions and prevent prostate infection. Drinking too little water can concentrate urine and reduce the frequency of urination, which can have extremely adverse effects on the prostate, kidneys, bladder, and other organs.
Don't hold your urine. Holding urine can cause the bladder to overfill, compressing the prostate. After the cold weather, many people are unwilling to get up at night to urinate, so they are forced to hold back, but they do not know that doing so may lead to dysuria and urinary retention.
Quit alcohol and spicy food. Tobacco, alcohol, and spicy foods both stimulate the prostate and urethra, and can also cause congestion and edema in the prostate and bladder neck.
Local thermal insulation should be in place. Cold increases the excitability of sympathetic nerves, leading to contraction of prostate glands, dilation of glands and blood vessels, and congestion. Therefore, it is necessary to timely add clothing according to weather changes, and pay attention to local warmth preservation to protect the prostate.
Finally, male friends should be reminded not to sit for long periods of time. Especially white-collar workers in the office. At the same time, try to avoid riding bicycles and other cross riding movements, which can cause pressure on the prostate and lead to prostate congestion, so it is important to avoid riding bicycles for a long time. Also, avoid playing mahjong, playing poker, watching TV, etc. for a long time. Desk workers or those who need to take a long-distance bus should pay attention to getting up and exercising their muscles and bones at regular intervals.
