What are the precautions for patients with prostatitis?

The incidence of prostatitis is relatively high, so male friends are advised not to smoke or drink for a long time. Smoking is especially harmful to the prostate because it contains nicotine and carbon monoxide. Therefore, smoking must be strictly prohibited to reduce the incidence of prostatitis. Let us now learn about the precautions for patients with prostatitis.

1. Keep cool

The prostate gland has abundant adrenergic receptors. When it is cold, it can easily cause sympathetic nerve excitement, leading to gland contraction and increased urethral pressure, affecting urination. Difficult urination will have an adverse effect on the prostate gland. The vicious cycle can cause prostate disease.

2. Smoking

According to surveys, the prevalence of prostate disease in smokers is 1-2 times higher than that in non-smokers. This is because tobacco contains more than 1,200 compounds, most of which are harmful to the human body, mainly nicotine, cyanide and carbon monoxide. The more you smoke, the more harm your prostate will suffer.

3. Holding urine

Frequent artificial holding of urine can cause the bladder to fill and swell, leading to difficulty urinating, increased local pressure and poor blood flow, and aggravating the symptoms of prostatic hypertrophy.

4. Squeeze

Sitting for long periods of time or riding a bicycle frequently can squeeze the prostate for a long time, resulting in poor local blood circulation. Especially when riding a bicycle, the friction between the seat and the perineum stimulates the upper urethra and prostate, causing chronic hyperplasia, hardening, swelling, and even inflammation of the subcutaneous tissue of the genitals, thereby compressing the urethra and prostate, easily causing prostate disease and difficulty urinating.

5. Improper diet

Frequent consumption of spicy and acidic foods and drinking of strong alcohol can cause blood vessel dilation and lead to prostate congestion. Long-term alcoholics have their prostate constantly stimulated by alcohol, which aggravates prostate congestion and causes inflammation or worsens the development of existing conditions.

6. Constipation

A large amount of feces accumulates in the rectum of constipated people, which will aggravate the congestion of the prostate nearby. At the same time, constipated people often have large bowel movements, which increases abdominal pressure. Pressure on the prostate can narrow the urethra and obstruct urination, which is not good for prostate health.

7. Sexual Improperness

The rate of acute prostatitis in people who have multiple sexual intercourses in a short period of time is as high as 89.7%. On the contrary, people with strong sexual desire cannot excrete normally for some reason, causing a large amount of prostate secretion to "stock up". Over time, the prostate will be over-enlarged and congested, which can also cause inflammation. In addition, ejaculation outside the body, interrupted sexual intercourse, etc. can also cause congestion and swelling of the prostate and cause inflammation.

The above article tells us in detail what patients with prostatitis should pay attention to. The most important thing for patients is to drink more boiled water, so that constipation will not occur, because constipation will cause blood vessels to begin to dilate, which will then aggravate the disease of prostatitis.
