How should men take care of their unique gonadal organ - the prostate gland? Knowing this is important for male friends. What should we pay attention to when protecting the prostate? Let's take a closer look.
Don't sit too long
Avoid playing mahjong, playing poker, watching TV, etc. for long periods of time. Desk workers or those who need to travel long distances should pay attention to getting up and moving their muscles and bones at regular intervals. In addition, cycling and other cross riding movements can cause compression on the prostate gland, leading to congestion of the prostate gland. Therefore, prolonged cycling should be avoided.
Long term straddling sports, such as cycling, motorcycle, horse riding, racing, etc., can also directly oppress the perineum, urethra and prostate, which may cause local congestion of the prostate, block the discharge of prostatic fluid, and worsen the condition.
Fasting Spicy
Spicy foods, such as scallions, raw garlic, chili peppers, peppers, and other stimulating foods, can cause vascular dilation and organ congestion. Some patients with chronic prostatitis have a habit of eating spicy foods, often able to control when the symptoms of the disease are severe, but relapse when the symptoms are relieved, which is also an important reason for the prolonged and difficult recovery of prostatitis.
Drink plenty of water
Flushing the urethra through urination can promote the discharge of prostate secretions and prevent prostate infections. Drinking too little water can concentrate urine and reduce the frequency of urination, which can have extremely adverse effects on other organs such as the prostate, kidneys, and bladder.
Don't hold your urine
Holding urine can cause the bladder to overfill and compress the prostate. After the cold weather, many people are unwilling to get up at night to urinate, so they are forced to hold back, but they do not know that doing so may lead to dysuria and urinary retention.
Quit smoking
As is well known, the significant harm of smoking to human health has been extensively reported, but little is known that smoking also has an impact on prostate disease. Smoking is harmful to one's health. Although most people are aware of the dangers of smoking, little is known about the impact smoking can have on the prostate. In fact, toxic substances such as nicotine, tar, nitrosamines, and carbon monoxide in cigarettes can not only directly poison prostate tissue, but also interfere with the neural function that governs blood vessels, affect blood circulation in the prostate, and can also exacerbate congestion and enlargement of the prostate.
Eat more apples
In addition to protein, various enzymes and organic substances, the main components of prostatic fluid also contain many trace elements, of which zinc accounts for the majority. Some clinical medical researchers abroad have found that apple juice has astonishing therapeutic effects on zinc deficiency, and this study is called "apple therapy". Apple juice is more effective than drugs with high zinc content, and has the characteristics of safety, easy digestion and absorption, and is welcomed and accepted by patients. The therapeutic effect is directly proportional to the concentration of apple juice, and the thicker the concentration, the better the therapeutic effect. Therefore, patients with chronic prostatitis often consume some apples as a very beneficial dietary therapy. As a simple and feasible treatment method, "apple therapy" is easily accepted and applied by a large number of prostatitis patients.
Keep warm in place
Cold increases the excitability of sympathetic nerves, leading to contraction of prostate glands, dilation of glandular ducts and blood vessels, and congestion. So it is necessary to add clothing in a timely manner according to weather changes, and pay attention to local warmth to protect the prostate.
