Does taking medicine for prostatitis work? What should I pay attention to?

Prostatitis is a urinary disease that occurs frequently in middle-aged male patients. Patients usually have symptoms such as prostate swelling, frequent urination, urethral irritation or pelvic pain, so once they suffer from this disease, they have to endure great pain. In order to reduce the time of pain, patients should seek medical treatment in time and actively treat it. Taking medicine is a treatment for prostatitis. However, after suffering from prostatitis, if you can't eat anything, you need to choose the appropriate medicine according to the doctor's advice. In addition, there are many things that patients with prostatitis need to pay attention to, such as drinking more water, not holding urine, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. The following will introduce whether taking medicine for prostatitis is effective and related precautions!

Prostatitis can be treated clinically with both Chinese and Western medicine. However, the effect of using only one medicine for prostatitis is not ideal. This is due to the physiological structure of the prostate. The prostate has a thick lipid capsule, and it is difficult for the drug to penetrate into the lesion. Targeted treatment is required. There are a few points to note:

1. Drink more water and exercise more

Drinking more water every day can not only prevent prostatitis, but also assist in the treatment of prostatitis. High-concentration urine can cause some stimulation to the prostate, and long-term adverse stimulation is harmful to the prostate. Drinking water frequently increases the frequency of urination and can excrete prostatic fluid. Regular exercise in daily life to enhance resistance can effectively enhance physical fitness. In addition, running can also have a certain massage effect on the prostate. However, sports that often rub the prostate should be reduced, such as long-distance cycling.

2. No cold

The prostate gland is rich in adrenal receptors, which can easily cause sympathetic nerve excitement when exposed to cold, leading to adrenal gland contraction, increased pressure in the urethra, affecting urination and having an adverse effect on the prostate gland.

3. Don’t hold your urine

Holding urine frequently can cause the bladder to fill and swell, leading to weak urination, increased local pressure and poor blood flow, and aggravating the symptoms of prostatic hypertrophy. Holding urine can cause the bladder to overfill and compress the prostate.

4. Don’t sit for long periods of time

The position of the prostate determines that men sit on it to a large extent, so men who sit for a long time have a heavier burden on the prostate. Sitting slows down blood circulation, leading to chronic congestion and congestion of the prostate, accumulation of local metabolic products, obstruction of the prostate gland duct, and poor excretion of glandular fluid, leading to the occurrence of chronic prostatitis.

5. Moderate sex life

To prevent prostatitis, you need to start paying attention to it from young age. The key is to have a moderate sex life, neither indulgence nor abstinence. Frequent sex will cause the prostate to be in a state of congestion for a long time, which will cause chronic prostatitis. Of course, excessive abstinence will cause bloating and discomfort, which is also bad for the prostate.

6. Take a warm bath

Taking a warm bath can relieve muscle and prostate tension and relieve discomfort. Frequent warm baths are very beneficial for patients with chronic prostatitis. If you use warm water to sit in the perineum 1-2 times a day, you can also get good results.

7. Avoid smoking, drinking, and spicy food

The prevalence of prostate disease in smokers is 1-2 times higher than that in non-smokers. Most of the compounds contained in tobacco are harmful to the human body. The more you smoke, the more harm your prostate will suffer. Foods such as alcohol and chili peppers can irritate the prostate and urethra, causing blood vessels to dilate, causing congestion and edema of the prostate and bladder neck, resulting in a decrease in the resistance of the prostate.

8. Keep it clean

Check whether the foreskin is too long to prevent bacteria from accumulating and entering the prostate through the urethra. In addition, the male scrotum is highly elastic and has many sweat glands, which can easily accumulate dirt, allowing local bacteria to enter and cause prostatitis. Therefore, insisting on cleaning the perineum is an important way to prevent prostatitis.
