The prostate is known as the "vital gland" of men. It is of great significance to the reproductive system. According to statistics, about 50% of men have suffered from prostatitis. The common typical symptoms of prostatitis include abnormal urination symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency of urination, pain in urination, and pain in perineum and lumbosacral region, as well as male dysfunction, discomfort during sexual intercourse, general fatigue, insomnia and dreaminess, dizziness and tinnitus, waist and knee tenderness, anxiety, and depression.
Be alert to the five "distress signals" sent by men's prostate
1. Urination discomfort: bladder irritation may occur, such as frequent urination, urethral burning, pain and radiation to the penis head. There are mucus and other secretions at the urethral orifice in the morning, and there is also the feeling of difficulty in urination;
2. Local symptoms: discomfort at the posterior urethra, perineum and anus, and aggravation of swelling pain in squatting, defecation and sitting on the chair and stool for a long time;
3. Radiation pain: The pain of chronic prostatitis is not limited to the urethra and perineum, but also radiates to its vicinity. The following low back pain is most common. The penis, spermatic cord, testicular scrotum, lower abdomen, groin area (thigh root), thigh and rectum may be affected;
4. Sexual dysfunction: chronic prostatitis can cause hypolibido and ejaculation pain, premature ejaculation, and affect the quality of semen. After urination or during defecation, there may also be white flow of the urethral orifice, and there will be blood sperm when combined with seminal vesiculitis;
5。 Other symptoms: chronic prostatitis can be combined with neurasthenia, showing fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, etc. Long-term prostatitis can even cause allergic reactions of the body, including conjunctivitis, arthritis and other diseases.
At present, prostate disease is showing a younger trend, which is mainly related to bad living habits, gluttony of spicy food, frequent and excessive life of couples, etc. In particular, people should pay attention to the fact that many men are afraid of treatment because of their face. They often drag acute prostatitis, which is easy to treat, into chronic prostatitis, and some even lead to sexual dysfunction and infertility.
How to prevent prostatitis?
1. Drinking more water: drinking more water will cause more urination. Urine with high concentration will stimulate the prostate, and long-term adverse stimulation will be harmful to the prostate.
2. Do not hold urine: Once the bladder is full and has the intention to urinate, you should urinate. Holding urine is not good for the bladder and prostate.
3. Temperate sexual life: to prevent prostate hypertrophy, we should pay attention to it from the young age. The key is to have a moderate sexual life, and do not indulge or abstain.
4. Avoid friction: perineal friction will aggravate the symptoms of prostate and make patients obviously uncomfortable. In order to prevent local harmful friction, you should ride less bicycles or motorcycles.
5. Regulate life: try not to drink alcohol, and eat less spicy and pungent foods such as chili and ginger, so as to avoid repeated congestion of prostate and bladder neck and aggravation of local swelling and pain.
