Prostate disease is a particularly common type of disease. As boys gradually grow into teenagers, from getting married and having children until retirement, men of every age group may suffer from prostate diseases such as prostatitis, prostate hyperplasia, and prostate cancer. Protecting the prostate not only allows men to have health, but also allows their spouses to enjoy happiness. And how to maintain the prostate well is a topic that every man must face.
There are four major monsters in the prostate gland
The prostate is a unique organ for men, and in the eyes of doctors, it has four major monsters.
The first thing is that it keeps growing. As people age, most of their organs eventually shrink, which is a normal aging phenomenon. But the prostate is different, as it continues to grow continuously as people age. At present, this is still a mystery in medicine. But it can be confirmed that the continuous growth of the prostate is closely related to the secretion of androgens by men's testes.
The second monster is hiding deep. The prostate gland is very hidden, deeply hidden in the male pelvis, and cannot be touched on the surface of the body. In front of the prostate is the pubic bone, behind it is the rectum, and above it is the bladder. Only when the doctor puts on gloves and reaches into the rectum can he touch it.
The third monster is pretending too much. The prostate gland is only the size of a chestnut, but this small organ has several pipes passing through, such as the urethra and ejaculatory duct.
The fourth strange thing is that the incidence rate is high. The prevalence of prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and prostate cancer is very high. Over half of men in their lifetime will suffer from prostatitis; 40% of Beijing men over 50 years old have prostate hyperplasia; In the past decade, the incidence of prostate cancer in Beijing has increased by 200%.
Prevention of Prostatitis: "Two Needs and Three Don'ts"
To some extent, male aging begins with the prostate gland. The body is still very strong, but there is already a constant feeling of dripping and even slight pain during urination, which is an alarm issued by the prostate. The common symptoms of prostatitis are frequent urination, urgency, pain, and bloating of the lower abdomen and perineum, which can affect sexual function. But prostatitis is not really scary at all, it can be completely cured, as long as you choose a legitimate medical institution. There are two things to do and three things not to do to prevent prostatitis:
To quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption: Clinical studies have shown that nicotine can stimulate excessive secretion of the prostate and induce inflammation. Alcohol can promote capillary dilation, causing congestion and swelling of prostate tissue, causing discomfort. Excessive drinking can also affect testosterone secretion.
To maintain unobstructed bowel movements: Behind the prostate is the rectum, which normally has almost no bowel movements. However, in patients with constipation, there may be residual bowel movements in the rectum, and many bacteria can affect surrounding organs through the rectal mucosa, which can also affect the prostate.
Don't eat spicy food: Many active substances in chili peppers can stimulate the prostate, leading to long-term repeated congestion, painful ejaculation, burning urethra, and poor urination.
Don't sit for long: Driving, cycling, and wearing tight pants for long periods of time can directly compress the prostate gland, causing congestion.
Don't hold your urine: The lower segment of the male urethra usually harbors bacteria. During urination, these bacteria are washed away. Regularly holding urine can weaken the flushing effect of urine, increase bacterial proliferation, and retrograde to the posterior urethra, possibly leading to prostatitis.
Prostate cancer may be cured
According to statistics, tumors have become the leading cause of death among residents in Beijing. In mainland China, 318 patients are newly diagnosed with tumors every hour, and 222 patients will leave the world due to tumors. When the age is over 65, the incidence rate of prostate cancer will also rise like a rocket, very quickly. The main reason for the high incidence of prostate cancer is that people's lifespan has increased now. In the past, people's lifespan was short, and many people did not live to be 65 years old, so there was no problem with prostate cancer.
Most tumors cannot be eradicated yet. Fortunately, prostate cancer can currently be screened and cured early, and can be treated through various methods such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
