Prostate gland is a male specific gland, and autumn is a high incidence period of prostate disease. Therefore, it is necessary to be vigilant, pay attention to daily life rules, drink plenty of water, and eat a balanced diet to prevent disease.
Autumn is a pleasant and refreshing season. But for men's prostate, this is a "troubled time.". At this time of year, there is a "dangerous" period of high incidence and recurrence of prostate diseases. For men, it is necessary to be alert to the induction or recurrence of prostate disease after autumn. After all, only if you have a healthy body can you enjoy the beautiful golden autumn to the fullest.
Drinking more water in autumn to prevent prostatitis
The main reason for prostate disease is that patients do not pay attention to personal hygiene, and poor lifestyle causes retrograde urinary tract infection.
The dry climate in autumn leads to a decrease in urination, especially for men who do not like to drink water, which is more likely to lead to an increase in the incidence rate because the urethra cannot be washed normally. Therefore, citizens should pay attention to drinking more water and urinating more in autumn. "If you have symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, or poor urination, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid turning inflammation into a chronic disease," the doctor said.
Men should be alert for the following symptoms in autumn
Experts remind that if there is "dripping white" at the urethral orifice, after waking up in the morning and urinating, there is milky white mucus at the urethral orifice; Frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, incomplete urination, dripping urine, waiting for urine, bifurcations in urine, burning urethral orifice; Sexual dysfunction, impotence, premature ejaculation, infertility; Pain due to perineal distension and lower abdominal pain; Have a history of urinary system infection or chlamydia, mycoplasma, gonococcal infections; Those who exhibit one of the symptoms of light red or grayish yellow blood essence or semen must be alert to urinary diseases and should promptly seek a comprehensive and systematic examination from a professional medical institution.
Expert advice:
"In autumn, it is appropriate to" hide ", and sexual intercourse should be moderate."
In autumn, there is a trend towards an increase in the number of male patients visiting male departments. In addition to patients with prostate diseases, patients with impotence and premature ejaculation account for almost half of the total. Many of these patients are related to excessive sexual activity during the Golden Week.
The doctor pointed out that in autumn, the weather gradually turns cooler, which is a time when the body's yang qi converges and the yin qi is hidden in the body. It cannot be as impulsive as the spring onset of sex, nor can it be as excited as the summer onset of yang hyperactivity. In terms of sexuality, it is important to "rest the heart and nourish the mind.".
"Spring fatigue and autumn fatigue. After entering autumn, the human body often feels tired, powerless, and mentally slack. In severe cases, it can affect men's work and life. Under the dual pressure of physiology and spirit, the treatment of male diseases such as impotence is also becoming more difficult." Experts pointed out.
In addition, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension and other diseases are risk factors for erectile dysfunction. The gradually cooler weather in autumn can cause elevated blood pressure and blood lipids, leading to cardiovascular disease; At the same time, the desire to eat high-fat and greasy food is also growing, which can increase the incidence of the above diseases, including diabetes, and should be paid more attention.
Elderly people should pay attention to local warmth and take multiple baths
After reaching middle age, the prostate gland continues to grow and expand, gradually compressing the urethra around it, compressing the urethra, causing obstruction of urination, clinically known as prostatic hyperplasia. According to statistics, the incidence rate of benign prostatic hyperplasia in men aged 51 to 60 years can reach 50%; By the age of 61~70, the incidence rate can increase to more than 70%.
After the weather starts to cool, elderly people are prone to decreased local blood circulation and contraction of urethral smooth muscle. Elderly people with prostate hyperplasia are more likely to worsen their condition, producing symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain in urination.
Therefore, after autumn, the elderly should strengthen local warmth preservation, and if conditions permit, they can take more hot baths.
