Prostatic hypertrophy, also known as prostatic hyperplasia, is a common disease of the urinary system in elderly men. With the growth of age, due to testicular atrophy in the elderly, there is a disorder in the metabolism of sexual hormones in the body, resulting in constant hormone stimulation of the prostate, leading to hyperplasia and hypertrophy. Relevant data show that the incidence rate of people over 50 years old in China can reach more than 50%. Once suffering from prostate hypertrophy, it can oppress the urethra, causing difficulty in urination, and other diseases such as frequent urination, painful urination, urgency, poor urination, interruption, and urinary incontinence. If the hypertrophy of prostate tissue is congested, it can also cause hematuria, urinary tract infections, bladder stones, urinary tract obstruction, and even severe hydronephrosis, renal insufficiency, uremia, hemorrhoids, and anal prolapse.
Holding urine for a long time is a major incentive
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the main causes of prostate hypertrophy include the following aspects: Firstly, it is related to emotions. If emotions are not smooth, it can lead to liver stasis and stagnation of qi and blood, which can easily lead to the formation of blood stasis in the body, causing the circulation of the prostate to be blocked, leading to hyperplasia. The second is long-term urination. Clinically, it is found that drivers, bank accountants and window workers in the service industry have a higher incidence of prostate incidence rate. Due to prolonged holding of urine and a decrease in the amount of water consumed, urine concentration and the frequency of urination will decrease, leading to the deposition of urinary endotoxin, and harmful substances in urine will damage the prostate. Third, there is a close relationship between thick and greasy diet and internal stagnation of dampness and turbidity. Unreasonable dietary structure and unhealthy dietary habits are also an important factor in inducing prostaglandin diseases. In addition, they are related to the patient's own physical condition, such as insufficient kidney qi, deficiency of liver and kidney, inability to move and transform, and a relatively high incidence of prostate hypertrophy.
Frequently drink water to flush the urethra
Prostatic hypertrophy is a common disease of the male urinary system. As long as standardized treatment and regular examination are carried out, it can be alleviated and eradicated. The dietary structure should be scientific and reasonable, with balanced nutrition, eating more vegetarian dishes and less high-fat and high-oil foods; Eat more fresh fruits and coarse grains, and less white sugar and refined flour; Eat more green tea and honey, drink less coffee, strong alcohol, and eat less acidic foods such as citrus and orange juice; Eat light meals and avoid spicy, sweet, and fatty foods. In summer, you can drink more Winter melon soup, more watermelons, and more mung bean soup, which is especially suitable for those with hot bladder and astringent urination. Develop a good habit of drinking water frequently. Drink 1500 to 2000 milliliters of boiled water or tea every day to flush the urethra and ensure the cleanness and safety of the prostate. Live regularly, get up and live regularly, combine work and rest, relax to a certain extent, and ensure adequate sleep. Develop good sexual habits and pay attention to moderation in sexual life. Adhere to scientific fitness, build a strong physique, conduct more physical exercise, and focus on the exercise of the pelvic, perineal, abdominal, and lumbosacral muscles.
Can do some massage and anal movement
Patients with prostate hypertrophy can be prevented and treated in combination with family rehabilitation methods: 1. Sitting bath: use warm and hot water to sit in a tub, with a temperature appropriate to a tolerable heat, 1-2 times a day, 10-20 minutes each time. When taking a sitz bath, relax the anal sphincter and press the perineum and around the anus with your fingers in water. You can also use warm water to impinge on the anal circumference. 2. Massage: Massage the perineum with your fingers, using intermittent deep pressure to relieve local soreness, distension, and slight pain. Massage 1-2 times a day, before taking a lunch break and going to bed in the evening. 3. Anal lifting: Regular contraction exercises of the anal sphincter and anal lifting muscles can improve blood circulation in the pelvic cavity and perineum, and reduce local congestion. 1-3 times a day, 10 minutes each time. 4. Drink floating wheat frequently. Take 50g of floating wheat, fry it to brown, soak it in water, and drink it as tea every day. It has a good therapeutic effect on patients with prostate hypertrophy.
Experts particularly remind that patients with prostate hypertrophy should not sit for a long time, especially to avoid local cold. Do not sit in a cool, humid, hard place. You can prepare a soft, cool insulation cushion and carry it with you to protect local areas from cold stimulation. In addition, patients with poor physique can go to the department of traditional Chinese medicine in a regular hospital and seek relevant experts to treat them based on their own physical signs through comprehensive syndrome differentiation methods such as traditional Chinese medicine fumigation, wine soaking, and oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine.
