What causes a man's prostate to enlarge?

The increase in prostate volume will cause men to have symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and hematuria. If it is not treated and relieved in time, it will lead to more serious prostate diseases. There are many reasons for the increase in prostate volume, mainly the patient's own living habits and physical constitution.

What causes prostate enlargement?

1. Bad living habits:

Nowadays, young people lead irregular lives, drink excessively, socialize frequently, and love spicy food, which can lead to excessive stimulation of the prostate and cause prostate hypertrophy.

2. Excessive congestion of the prostate:

Eating spicy, sour foods, drinking alcohol and other bad habits can cause prostate congestion and lead to prostate hypertrophy. Excessive sexual life and sexual impulse have the same effect. Therefore, male friends must pay attention.

3. The impact of sex life:

Many men, especially young men, have frequent sex, masturbate frequently, and do not like to exercise, which leads to poor blood circulation in the prostate and easily causes congestion of prostate tissue and prostate hypertrophy.

4. The influence of hormones:

Prostate enlargement is closely related to the imbalance of androgen and estrogen in the body. In particular, testosterone in the male body is the main component of male androgen. If the testosterone in the male body decreases, it will not only affect sexual function, but also, under the action of enzymes, it will become dihydrotestosterone, which is the active hormone that stimulates prostate enlargement.

Prostate enlargement precautions

1. Pay attention to self-care, strengthen physical exercise, prevent colds, actively treat infections in other parts of the body, and improve the body's resistance to disease.

2. Eat a light diet and avoid alcohol and spicy foods to avoid prostate congestion; be moderate in sexual intercourse and avoid interrupting sexual intercourse to reduce prostate congestion.

3. Exercise moderately, avoid long-term horse riding, cycling and sitting. Office workers should stand up and move around for a while every 1-2 hours to reduce prostate congestion.

4. Taking a hot water sitz bath before going to bed every day and performing regular prostate massage can promote blood circulation and help excrete inflammatory secretions.
