Winter is the season of high incidence of urinary system diseases. Male prostatitis is the most common disease in urology, which is characterized by many kinds of pathogens, high incidence rate, and long onset period. There are significant seasonal factors in the onset of prostate disease. Due to the cold weather, the sympathetic nerve excitability of the human body increases, the prostate gland contracts, the gland tubes and blood vessels expand, causing chronic congestion, which increases the internal pressure of the urethra, and can cause reflux in severe cases. Changes in the condition of the urethra can aggravate the accumulation of prostate fluid, leading to attacks of prostate disease, including frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, and pain in the perineum and testicles.
Therefore, after the beginning of winter, the prostate should be better protected.
Principles to follow:
1. Timely supplement nutrition in diet. Trace element zinc can increase the anti infective effect of the prostate.
2. Avoid prolonged sitting. Men who often sit for a long time have a heavier prostate burden, so men should try to avoid sitting for a long time.
3. Couple life should be moderate. Moderate marital life not only promotes marital affection, but also contributes to the health of the male prostate gland.
4. Exercise should be strengthened. When the weather gets warmer, it's even better to stick to proper physical exercise.
5. Drink more water. After cold weather, many people drink less water, which can lead to concentrated urine and reduced urination times, adversely affecting the prostate and other organs. The average person drinks more than 2 liters of boiled water every day, which can achieve the goal of flushing the urethra, promoting the discharge of prostate secretion, and preventing prostate infection through urination.
6. Don't "tolerate" when urinating urgently. When urinating urgently, it can be tolerated, which can easily cause urine reflux, harm high-level organs (kidneys and ureters), and even cause renal failure.
7. Quit smoking, drinking, and spicy food. Food such as alcohol, chili, and smoking can stimulate the prostate and urethra, causing temporary perineal discomfort, as well as causing congestion and edema in the prostate and bladder neck, resulting in reduced prostate resistance.
8. Local thermal insulation should be in place. Some men who pursue fashion tend to wear less in order to achieve good physical effects, ignoring the warmth of the prostate, which can easily lead to prostate disease or exacerbate the original condition. Maintaining a warm environment locally can reduce the pressure in the prostate and seminal tract, relax smooth muscle fibers, reduce outlet resistance, and ensure smooth drainage of the prostate. Keeping warm can also reduce muscle tissue contraction and restore the state of prostate congestion and edema.
Due to the diversity of symptoms of prostatitis, which is not proportional to the severity of inflammation, and the complexity of symptoms, some patients with prostatitis feel no obvious discomfort after treatment for a period of time, so they voluntarily stop using drugs. However, it does not take long for the symptoms of prostatitis to reappear. This is caused by the patient's premature withdrawal of medication without a real cure for prostatitis. This not only increases the mental burden of patients, but also tends to increase bacterial resistance, making subsequent treatment more difficult.
Chronic prostatitis is a relatively complex and refractory disease that requires a certain course of treatment, typically 1-3 months of treatment, and continues to be treated for a period of time after the onset of curative effects, to consolidate them. If it is not visible, it will be cured. However, in fact, the subjective feelings of patients are not consistent with the objective examination, and the probability of recurrence is very high. If diagnosed with prostatitis, it is important to treat it correctly and actively treat it. One of the key measures for effective treatment of prostatitis is to avoid "stopping when you feel good".
