With the arrival of autumn, the weather gradually turns cool. What effect does this weather have on the male prostate?
Protect the prostate when the weather turns cold
Andrologists said that there are obvious seasonal factors in the onset of prostate disease. When the weather turns cool, the sympathetic nerve excitability of the human body increases, which makes the prostate gland contract, the gland tube and blood vessel expand, causing chronic hyperemia, which increases the internal pressure of the urethra, and may cause reflux in severe cases. Changes in the condition of the urethra will aggravate the accumulation of prostatic fluid, leading to the onset of prostate disease, frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, perineal and testicular pain and other symptoms.
Therefore, when the climate turns cold, men should protect the prostate better. Especially young and middle-aged men are at high risk of prostate disease. In the middle and young age, the male function is at its peak. Prolonged hyperemia of the prostate will affect the metabolism of cells and cause the decline of cell resistance to bacteria, so that bacteria can take advantage of the opportunity to enter.
The middle and young age is also the most vigorous period of prostate secretion. Bad living habits make the body low resistance or other parts infected. Pathogens are easy to invade the prostate and endanger the health of the prostate.
Instructions for protecting "glands" in autumn
Experts pointed out that men should follow the principle of protecting the prostate after the beginning of autumn
1、 Drink more water. After the weather gets cold, many people drink less water, and the reduction of drinking water will make the urine concentrated and the number of urination reduced, which will have adverse effects on the prostate and other organs. Ordinary people drink more than 2 liters of boiled water every day, that is, they can flush the urethra, promote the discharge of prostate secretion and prevent prostate infection through urination;
2、 Don't "tolerate" when you are in a hurry. It is easy to cause urine reflux, harm to high organs (kidney and ureter), and even cause renal failure;
3、 It is to quit smoking, drinking and spicy. Alcohol, chili and other foods as well as smoking can stimulate the prostate and urethra, cause temporary perineal discomfort, and also cause congestion and edema of the prostate and bladder neck, resulting in reduced prostate resistance;
4、 It is necessary to keep warm locally. Some men who pursue fashion tend to wear less clothes in order to get good physical effects, ignoring the warmth of the prostate, which is easy to induce prostate disease or aggravate the original condition. Local warm environment can reduce the pressure in the prostate and seminal tract, relax the smooth muscle fibers, reduce the outlet resistance, and make the prostate drainage smooth. Warming can also reduce muscle tissue contraction and restore the state of prostate congestion and edema;
5、 It is to timely supplement body nutrition in diet. Trace element zinc can increase the anti-infection effect of prostate;
6、 It is to avoid long sitting. Men who often sit for a long time have a heavy burden on the prostate, so men should try to avoid sitting for a long time;
7、 It is the husband and wife should live moderately. Moderate husband and wife life not only promotes husband and wife feelings, but also benefits the health of male prostate;
8、 It is to strengthen exercise. When the weather turns cold, we should stick to proper physical exercise.
Avoid "stop when you feel good" in treatment
Experts particularly remind that because the symptoms of prostatitis are diverse, and the symptoms are not proportional to the severity of inflammation, and the symptoms are more complex, some patients with prostatitis feel no obvious discomfort after treatment for a period of time, and then stop using drugs. It didn't take long for the symptoms of prostatitis to return. This is due to the premature withdrawal of the drug before the patient's prostatitis is really cured. This will not only aggravate the mental burden of patients, but also easily increase the drug resistance of bacteria, which will make follow-up treatment more difficult.
Chronic prostatitis is a relatively complex and refractory disease, which requires a certain course of treatment, usually 1-3 months, and will continue to be treated for a period of time after the curative effect appears. Some patients end treatment because their clinical symptoms are significantly reduced or disappeared. But in fact, the subjective feeling of patients is not consistent with the objective examination, and the probability of recurrence is very high. If you are diagnosed with prostatitis, you must treat it correctly and actively. One of the key measures for effective treatment of prostatitis is to avoid "stop as soon as you see good".
