The prostate gland abuts against the rectum, separated by a small amount of loose connective tissue. "People with constipation have dry stools and hard lumps, and the rectal temperature is on the high side. Dry stools cause compression of the prostate, which can hinder local blood circulation, and over time can easily cause inflammation of the prostate.". In addition, when constipation patients defecate, they need to increase abdominal pressure to promote the excretion of stool, which can further cause pressure on the prostate, causing discomfort in urination, and sometimes even "dripping white", that is, outflow of prostate fluid. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, constipation can worsen symptoms such as difficulty urinating.
Therefore, people should pay attention to developing good defecation habits in daily life; Eat more light and easily digestible food and vegetables to prevent constipation; Eat less spicy and stimulating foods and abstain from alcohol to avoid causing prostate congestion; Exercise appropriately to enhance the body's resistance and improve blood circulation in the prostate region; Do not hold your urine for a long time.
