Why does prostatitis occur in winter? Experts have explained that winter is the season of high incidence of prostatitis, which can be caused by many reasons. A slight lack of attention in life can lead to prostatitis, and male friends often suffer from it. So why does prostatitis occur in winter? Let's take a look at the detailed introduction of urology experts from Zhongshan Hospital.
Prostatitis refers to acute and chronic inflammation caused by prostate specific and non specific infections, resulting in systemic or local symptoms. Prostatitis can be divided into nonspecific bacterial prostatitis, idiopathic bacterial prostatitis (also known as prostate disease), specific prostatitis (caused by gonococcus, tuberculosis, fungi, parasites, etc.), nonspecific granulomatous prostatitis, prostatitis caused by other pathogens (such as viruses, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc.), prostate congestion, and prostate pain. Prostatitis is clinically divided into acute and chronic types.
Why does prostatitis occur in winter?
"The number of people who exercise in the park in winter is significantly less than in summer, as is the case for many men. As the weather gets colder, they rarely engage in outdoor exercise. They spend more time sitting in front of a computer, watching TV, playing mahjong, and so on. Sitting for a long time can cause long-term pressure on the prostate gland, causing congestion and edema, which can lead to prostatitis.".
Also, due to the strong cold wind in the autumn and winter seasons, as the weather continues to cool, the sympathetic nerve excitability of the human body increases, causing the contraction of prostate glands, expansion of glands and blood vessels, causing chronic congestion, which increases the internal pressure of the urethra, and in severe cases can cause reflux.
Changes in the condition of the urethra can aggravate the accumulation of prostate fluid, leading to attacks of prostate disease, frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, perineal and testicular pain, and other symptoms. Male friends need to pay high attention.
