Prostate disease is closely related to smoking

As we all know, prostate disease has a significant impact on men. So, what causes prostate disease? Experts point out that common causes of prostate health problems include spicy stimulation, long-term urine retention, sedentary lifestyle, and long-term smoking. It should be emphasized that long-term smoking will cause damage to the prostate because nicotine will enter the body and gradually accumulate to stimulate the secretion of prostaglandins. Abnormal secretion of prostaglandins can easily cause prostatitis.

First, because smoking can reduce the body's immunity. The so-called immunity is the physiological function of the body to identify, eliminate and eliminate foreign bodies on the basis of identifying itself. When the human body is infected by bacteria and viruses, immune cells can engulf and eliminate them. This is the inherent immune function of the human body. Foreign scholars have unanimously agreed through a large number of experimental studies that smoking can reduce immunity. Chronic prostatitis patients have a long course of disease and are difficult to cure. If they still smoke, resulting in low immunity, it will especially affect the outcome of the disease. Secondly, smoking can also cause cancer. This is because the tar in tobacco will produce coal tar after burning, which contains a variety of organic compounds, including a strong carcinogenic effect. Although the other several types do not have obvious carcinogenic effects, they can increase the strength of the carcinogenic substances, so they are called metastatic carcinogens. The combined effect of carcinogens and carcinogenic substances is the main cause of cancer in humans. Adult men who take the initiative to quit smoking can reduce the incidence of prostate cancer. Finally, prostatitis can easily lead to sexual dysfunction and infertility. If the patient is a smoker, the situation may be even worse, because smoking itself can cause impotence and infertility. Scientific surveys show that 2/3 of patients with impotence are smokers, which is twice the rate of non-smokers; the percentage of sperm count and motility of smokers is significantly lower than that of non-smokers. Therefore, for patients with prostatitis who often smoke and have sexual dysfunction and infertility, in addition to active treatment, the most important thing is to quit smoking. In addition, smoking can also lead to premature aging. Studies have found that smokers are 10% older in appearance than non-smokers, and 5% older in physiological function and athletic ability. After reading the above content, we all know that prostate disease is closely related to smoking. It is recommended that patients with chronic prostatitis should pay attention to rest, change their unhealthy lifestyles, avoid smoking and drinking, and do not eat spicy foods such as chili peppers for the sake of your health.
