Every Spring Festival is a time when the prostate gland suffers. During the holidays, it is inevitable for men to indulge their bodies after a year of hard work. Drinking alcohol, playing mahjong, and surfing the internet all make their prostate gland unbearable.
During the Spring Festival, it is necessary to drink and have fun, but the prostate gland suffers as a result. After the Spring Festival in previous years, the number of people seeking medical treatment for prostatitis in hospitals increased by 20% to 30% compared to usual, mainly due to excessive drinking during the Spring Festival period. Professor Sun Zixue from the Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Reproductive Center of Henan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine said that in the past, we often encountered patients who drank heavily during holidays but had difficulty urinating after the holiday. Some patients were still young men, but they felt uncomfortable holding their urine. When they came to see a doctor, they were worried about whether there was something wrong with their kidneys.
In fact, a man's prostate is a highly sensitive organ to alcohol. When alcohol enters the human body, it is quickly absorbed and enters the bloodstream. At this time, the prostate gland is also stimulated by alcohol, causing rapid expansion and congestion of capillaries, swelling of cells, and gradual enlargement of the prostate gland. During the Spring Festival, many people participate in several consecutive banquets, and after drinking a lot of alcohol, the prostate gland will gradually become "drunk" and "plump", resulting in occupying the urethral space, and symptoms such as forked urination and thinning. The swollen prostate can also compress and stretch the nerve endings around the prostate, causing swelling and soreness in the lower abdomen and perineum, as well as testicular traction pain. If there is already prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia, it is easy to have frequent urination, urgency, low back pain, and even inability to urinate.
The prostate not only gets drunk, but once drunk, it is difficult to wake up. A person who is drunk usually gradually wakes up within a few hours. However, as long as the exuded tissue fluid does not disappear, the prostate gland cannot lose weight. Therefore, without three or five days, the prostate gland may not wake up. Experts say. So, many people wake up after getting drunk, but urination is still difficult, and some even have to endure months of suffering as a result.
