As the weather gradually turns colder, in addition to bringing discomfort to people, it is more likely to cause various common infectious diseases. For most male friends, the health of the prostate is particularly important.
In particular, men who have previously suffered from prostatitis or prostate hyperplasia are prone to relapse and exacerbation in the autumn and winter seasons without thorough treatment or timely treatment, and are prone to symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain in urination.
As for how to protect the prostate, try the following methods:
Drink more water every day. Flushing the urethra through urination can promote the discharge of prostate secretions and prevent prostate infection. Drinking too little water can concentrate urine and reduce the frequency of urination, which can have extremely adverse effects on the prostate, kidneys, bladder, and other organs.
Don't hold your urine. Holding urine can cause the bladder to overfill, compressing 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 alcohol and spicy food. Tobacco, alcohol, and spicy foods both stimulate the prostate and urethra, and can also cause congestion and edema in the prostate and bladder neck.
Local thermal insulation should be in place. Cold increases the excitability of sympathetic nerves, leading to contraction of prostate glands, dilation of glands and blood vessels, and congestion. Therefore, it is necessary to timely add clothing according to weather changes, and pay attention to local warmth preservation to protect the prostate.
Try not to sit too long. Avoid playing poker, watching TV, etc. for long periods of time. Desk workers or those who need a long-distance ride should pay attention to getting up and exercising their muscles and bones at regular intervals. In addition, cycling and other cross riding actions can cause pressure on the prostate, leading to prostate congestion, so it is important to avoid cycling for long periods of time.
