Liu Sheng, 34 years old this year, is a sales manager at a computer company. One morning while urinating, he noticed sticky discharge from his urethral opening and felt difficulty urinating. After two days, the symptoms subsided, but a few months later this phenomenon did not completely disappear, and he gradually felt multiple pain in his lower body. He was very puzzled: he usually pays attention to maintenance and cleanliness, what's wrong with this? After seeing a doctor at the hospital, he realized that he had chronic prostatitis, which is common in middle-aged men.
Chronic prostatitis is not as sudden as acute prostatitis, but rather appears faintly and repeatedly for a long time. Although it is not life-threatening, it is currently recognized in the medical community that it is difficult to cure and easily relapses, and many patients will still carry it into old age.
Eliminating tension helps alleviate symptoms
The cause of chronic prostatitis to avoid tension is still widely discussed, but it is widely recognized by doctors that eliminating patients' tension can help alleviate the symptoms.
British scientist Miller found in his research that patients with prostatitis have varying degrees of stress factors when their symptoms worsen, such as work fatigue, anxiety, etc. Miller pointed out that behavioral therapy that eliminates stress is definitely beneficial for the treatment of chronic prostatitis.
There are also statistics in China that have found that prostatitis, as a common male disease, has many causes of onset. From the law of male clinics, the onset of prostatitis has a clear seasonal, group, and even festive nature. For example, in winter, there is a significant increase in prostatitis patients during holidays. One important reason is the heavy workload before festivals, which many people are accustomed to staying up late and working overtime, or drinking and socializing during festivals, staying up all night for entertainment, and irregular lifestyle and diet. 65% of the patients with chronic prostatitis are the middle management and business backbone of the unit, especially the male middle management over 35 years old. When they enter middle age, their social responsibilities and mental pressure increase. Therefore, it is particularly important for patients with chronic prostatitis to make psychological adjustments.
Not suitable for prolonged sitting
Among patients with chronic prostatitis, car drivers with less mental stress also account for a large proportion and are difficult to cure. Urology experts explained from a physiological point of view that sitting for a long time can slow the blood circulation, leading to passive congestion of the prostate, accumulation of local metabolites, obstruction of glandular ducts, impeded excretion of glandular fluid, and directly leading to congestion of the perineum and prostate. So drivers and office workers should not sit still for long periods of time and change their positions in a timely manner. After work, it is best to exercise appropriately and wake up every 40 minutes. Drinking plenty of water and urinating frequently can effectively flush the urethra and protect a man's vital glands. If patients have obvious symptoms, in addition to daily conditioning, the most important thing is to timely and standardized treatment, especially pay attention to the first treatment, do not procrastinate, to avoid delaying the condition. Using warm water sitz bath before going to bed at night can change the local congestion of the prostate and reduce or avoid the occurrence of chronic prostatitis.
Chronic inflammation can easily induce prostate cancer
In countries where meat and dairy products are the staple foods, the incidence rate of prostate cancer is higher than that in countries where rice and vegetables are the staple foods. Among them, men who eat a lot of fat, especially animal fat from red meat, are most likely to cause prostate cancer. Therefore, the incidence of prostate cancer is high in Europe and the United States. In China, with the change of dietary structure, the National People's Congress has increased the intake of dairy and meat products. In recent years, the incidence rate of prostate cancer in China has increased year by year.
