Can acupuncture cure prostatitis?

Prostatitis is a common male disease. Acupuncture can treat prostatitis, but it cannot completely cure it. Generally, it is best to treat prostatitis with a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. Male prostatitis is mostly caused by bad living habits and eating habits. If you want to treat prostatitis, you must develop good living habits, maintain hygiene, and try to smoke and drink less.

How can young people prevent prostatitis?

Quit smoking: Many men have the habit of smoking, and young people are no exception. Cigarettes contain nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide and other substances, which can not only directly enter the prostate and damage its tissues, but also damage the nerve function of blood vessels, affect the blood circulation of the prostate, and cause prostate congestion and inflammation.

Quit drinking: Alcohol can dilate blood vessels, so drinking a small amount of alcohol occasionally is good for the body. Although young people generally have few alcoholic habits, they should also pay attention to their daily alcohol intake. This is because alcohol can increase prostate congestion, and in severe cases, it can cause prostate poisoning.

Regular work and rest schedule: Many young men are keen on online games, often "forgetting to eat and sleep", and sitting for a long time has become a habit, which leads to long-term congestion of the prostate, blood circulation disorders, and inflammation. Maybe because of working overtime and irregular rest, the body's immunity is reduced, which makes it easy to be infected with bacteria and cause inflammation.

Reasonable diet: Young people often like spicy and irritating foods, such as chili, pepper, garlic, etc., because these foods can easily stimulate blood vessels and cause congestion, which can also lead to prostatitis attacks. Drink more water to dilute urine concentration and help prostate unblocking.

How to prevent recurrence of prostatitis

Avoid sitting for long periods of time and staying up late: Do not sit for long periods of time. Patients who like to play cards or mahjong should pay special attention to this. Sitting for long periods of time can easily cause congestion in the perineum and pelvic cavity, leading to a recurrence of prostatitis. In addition, do not stay up late, as staying up late will reduce resistance and lead to a recurrence of inflammation.

Reasonable arrangement of sex life: Some patients with chronic prostatitis stop having sex after the disease, which is actually wrong. Indulgence or abstinence is equally detrimental to the recovery of prostatitis. Moderate sex life allows semen to be discharged regularly, which can relieve the bloating of the prostate, promote the continuous renewal of prostatic fluid, and help the recovery of the prostate.

Avoid spicy food: Spicy food can dilate blood vessels and increase blood vessel permeability, which can cause the already inflamed prostate to become congested and swollen, compressing or irritating the urethra and leading to symptoms such as difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and urgent urination, as well as local bloating and pain, leading to repeated attacks of prostatitis.
