Prostatitis is not new to many people. It is as common as a cold, and 35% to 50% of men will suffer from it sometime in their lives. According to statistics, prostatitis accounts for more than 1/3 of the outpatients in the male urology department in China, even increasing. Many patients have recurrent attacks until old age, causing enormous damage to their physical and mental health.
In fact, many men are afraid of prostatitis, only three points are physiological, and the other seven points are heart disease, which does not threaten life. If attention is paid to control, through comprehensive treatment, the vast majority of symptoms can be alleviated and cured. However, treatment alone without prevention cannot achieve effective results in treating this disease. Male friends should also pay attention to some details in their daily lives, as these bad habits or habits may hide hidden dangers and threaten their originally healthy prostate gland.
I used to take a taxi and chatted with a male taxi driver. When he knew that I was a doctor, he always complained about whether he had contracted or was worried about getting prostatitis. What can I do to avoid it?
Taxi drivers, who are prone to prostatitis due to prolonged driving, used to be habitually referred to as their occupational disease. Nowadays, there are more male friends who drive private cars. The distance to work is longer than in the past, and there are also frequent opportunities to visit relatives and friends, as well as drive and travel on holidays. Therefore, the time spent driving long-distance vehicles every day is gradually increasing.
Sitting in the driver's seat for a long time, especially in summer, when the driver's cab is stuffy and the perineum is chronically exposed to humid and hot conditions, resulting in increased congestion of the prostate gland, poor local blood circulation, accumulation of metabolites, clogged prostate ducts, and poor excretion of prostate fluid. Many male private car owners unconsciously develop unpleasant prostatitis.
Some professions such as office workers, computer workers, and other men who need to sit still for a long time (over an hour) work. The position of the prostate determines that it is largely seated on the prostate, which directly compresses the perineum, resulting in a heavier burden on the prostate. The prostate is slowly congested and congested, which is not conducive to the discharge of prostate fluid and is prone to induce prostatitis.
Some men who play mahjong and other recreational activities for long periods of time, especially in winter, when cold stimulation or sedentary cold sitting can cause increased sympathetic nerve activity in the prostate, leading to increased pressure in the urethra and contraction of the prostate tube, which can hinder the excretion of prostate fluid, resulting in congestive congestion, frequent urination, urgency, and impure urine, which can cause significant pain to patients, especially in patients with prostatitis, which can exacerbate prostatitis, At the same time, it is difficult to cure or relapse due to affecting the repair of prostate tissue and the diffusion and absorption of drugs.
Recommendations:
① Drivers should first improve their seats, try to avoid getting their entire hips caught in them, often switch positions, or add cushions;
② Pay attention to ventilation in the vehicle, do not wear tight underwear, and replace underwear in a timely manner every day;
③ Patients who require sedentary work should often stand up or walk around;
④ Avoid sitting on hard and cold objects for a long time.
