"Don't assume that menopause is the exclusive preserve of women. In the process of men transitioning from middle age to old age, varying degrees of male menopause syndrome can also occur.". Experts remind that "feelings of loss after retirement, decreased sexual life quality, and excessive family pressure" can cause men to develop menopausal syndrome, accelerate and exacerbate the symptoms of underlying prostate diseases, and bring unnecessary worries to daily work, life, and interpersonal communication.
[Be angry and beware of damaging the prostate]
Men who have passed middle age need to pay attention to their emotional changes. If they experience emotional reactions such as "sadness, fatigue, and mental tension," or symptoms such as dizziness, insomnia, low back pain, and decreased sexual ability, they should seek medical attention in a timely manner and receive symptomatic treatment.
Because, during male menopause, as the secretion of male hormones decreases, it is not only easy to cause skin to gradually lose elasticity, become rough, or even shed hair, but also affect the health of the male prostate, causing diseases such as prostate hyperplasia and prostatitis, causing great distress for men.
[Interaction between male menopause and sexual ability]
Although there is no fixed age for male menopause, it is related to the quality of sexual life, physical health, and so on. Most men can judge whether they have entered menopause by the function and quality of their sexual life. Director Gu Peide introduced that if a man's sexual ability decreases, it will inhibit hormone levels, cause metabolic disorders, and cause premature menopause. If a man's sexual function is still strong by the age of 70 to 80, he will enter male menopause very late. However, if it is due to mental factors or chronic diseases that cause men to enter menopause prematurely, sexual function and libido will be affected accordingly, leading to various prostate diseases.
[Improper exercise can cause prostate injury]
It is said that fitness can strengthen the body and prevent diseases. However, sometimes improper selection of sports can harm one's health. Some men have signed up for an elderly bicycle riding team to exercise, while some elderly people choose equestrian events. Director Gu Peide reminded that from the perspective of preventing or alleviating symptoms of prostate disease, it is not recommended to choose sports such as horse riding or long-distance cycling. Long periods of cycling, high seats, and bumpy roads can cause excessive stimulation of the prostate, causing it to swell, congest, or damage, leading to prostate disease.
It is recommended that if you have to ride a bicycle, you adjust the position of the seat, with a moderate height. It is best to choose a cushion for the seat, and the front of the seat should be slightly lower than the rear.
For menopausal men, in addition to jogging and walking to exercise, they can also choose to swim. Because swimming is not only a good way to improve immunity and strengthen the body, but also can promote local blood and lymph circulation in the prostate, making the secretion of prostate fluid more vigorous, and helping to eliminate prostatitis.
Most patients with prostatitis may experience urination discomfort such as frequent urination and urgency, but a small number of people may experience pain symptoms such as sagging and swelling of the perineum, pain, phalangeal syndesmosis, and abdominal pain. Some urethra may have a painful sensation, or anal pain, or low back pain, and even reflexively radiate pain around the prostate.
Is small abdominal pain a symptom of prostatitis? What are the symptoms of prostatitis?
1. Urination discomfort: Bladder irritation can occur, such as frequent urination, urethral burning, pain, and radiation to the head of the penis during urination. In the early morning, there may be secretions such as mucus at the urethral orifice, and there may also be a feeling of difficulty urinating.
2. Local symptoms: discomfort of falling and swelling of the posterior urethra, perineum, and anus, aggravation of squatting, defecation, and prolonged sitting on chairs and stools.
3. Radiation pain: The pain of chronic prostatitis is not limited to the urethra and perineum, but also radiates into the vicinity. The following types of low back pain are most common. In addition, the penis, spermatic cord, testicular scrotum, lower abdomen, inguinal region (thigh root), thigh, rectum, and other places can be affected. It should be pointed out that low back pain caused by chronic prostatitis is easily confused with orthopedic low back pain such as myofascitis and lumbar muscle strain, but the latter is mostly located near the belting area, which is higher than the low back pain caused by prostatitis and can be distinguished.
4. Sexual dysfunction: Chronic prostatitis can cause decreased libido and pain in ejaculation, premature ejaculation, and affect semen quality. After urination or during defecation, it can also cause white discharge from the urethral orifice, and when combined with seminal vesiculitis, it can cause blood semen.
5. Other symptoms: Chronic prostatitis can be associated with neurasthenia, exhibiting fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, etc; Long lasting prostatitis can even cause allergic reactions in the body, including conjunctivitis, arthritis, and other diseases.

It is best to go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations as soon as possible, and have a professional doctor identify the cause and treat it symptomatically for you.
Multiple nursing needs for prostate diseases
1. Avoid prolonged sitting
The position of the prostate determines that men largely sit on it, so men who often sit for a long time have a heavier prostate burden. Sitting position slows blood circulation, leading to chronic congestion and blood stasis of the prostate, accumulation of local metabolites, obstruction of the prostate gland tubes, and poor excretion of glandular fluid, leading to the occurrence of chronic prostatitis.
2. Beware of getting cold
The prostate is rich in adrenal receptors, which can easily cause sympathetic nerve stimulation when it gets cold, leading to adrenal contraction, increasing pressure in the urethra, and affecting urination. However, difficulty in urination can have adverse effects on the prostate.
3. Prevent long-term constipation
A large amount of feces accumulated in the rectum in constipation can aggravate adjacent prostate congestion. At the same time, people with constipation often exert themselves to defecate, which increases abdominal pressure. Pressing on the prostate can make the urethra thinner and hinder urination, which is detrimental to the health of the prostate.
4. Husband and wife should live regularly
The incidence of acute prostatitis among couples living frequently within a short period of time is as high as 89.7%. On the contrary, controlling marital life can lead to a large amount of "accumulation" of prostate secretion, which can lead to excessive expansion and congestion of the prostate over time, and can also trigger inflammation. In addition, external ejaculation, interruption of marital life, etc., can also cause prostate congestion and swelling, causing inflammation.
5. Be careful with hormone supplements
Some propaganda claims that testosterone treatment can enhance men's desire for married life, but high doses of testosterone are often associated with prostate hypertrophy and tumors, which are rarely mentioned. If men are already suffering from prostate problems, stay away from these hormone supplements.
6. Exercise in the sun
Life stress can increase the chance of prostate disease. When life stress decreases, prostate symptoms will be relieved, so try to maintain a relaxed state, such as going outdoors with your family for sports. Moderate physical activity can help strengthen the body's resistance and improve blood circulation in the prostate region.
