Six triggers for prostate pain

Prostatitis is also called prostatitis complex in medicine. It is a common male disease. So what are the causes of prostatitis? The main causes of prostatitis are alcoholism, eating some irritating foods, sitting for a long time, not liking to drink water, keeping the body cool, improper sexual life and other factors.

1. Alcoholism

Some people say that drinking is a kind of enjoyment, but they don’t know that drinking can cause congestion of capillaries throughout the body, resulting in mild edema. The prostate is no exception. The prostate is surrounded by muscle fiber connective tissue, so edema mainly swells inward into the gland, making it easy to be infected and develop prostate hyperplasia.

2. Eat some stimulating food

For example, eating chili peppers can stimulate the digestive tract, but it can cause congestion in the urinary tract and easily lead to constipation. These are all very detrimental to the local metabolism of the prostate and can induce inflammation.

3. Sitting for a long time

Sitting for long periods of time is a special "treatment" for white-collar workers nowadays, but there are also occupational reasons in other industries, such as long-distance drivers. Some are habits, such as playing mahjong while sitting for 4 to 5 hours. On the one hand, abdominal pressure increases the pressure on the prostate. On the other hand, when sitting, the prostate is in a horizontal position, and its prostatic urethra and the prostate gland duct opening at it are in the same plane. Therefore, if there are bacteria in the urine, it is easy to retrograde into the gland duct and cause inflammation.

4. Don’t like to drink water

Nowadays, many people forget to drink water because they are too busy. Normal people are generally required to drink at least 7 glasses of water a day, about 2000 ml. Some people don’t know this and think, “I am not thirsty, why should I drink water?” Actually, it is wrong. By the time you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated and have a slight metabolic disorder. The urine is concentrated and the harmful and toxic substances in the urine accumulate. This can easily flow back into the prostate duct and cause harm and disease. Therefore, people who don’t like to drink water are prone to prostate disease.

5. Keep your body cool

Especially when the soles of the feet are cold, it will affect the blood circulation in the prostate area. This is easier to explain using the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. The prostate belongs to the "kidney", and the kidney is responsible for cold. If it is cold, it is easy to damage the kidney and induce the occurrence of prostate disease.

6. Improper sexual life

One is excessive frequency. Masturbation or sexual life is harmless as long as it is not excessive. It is physiological, but if it is excessive, it is a pathogenic factor. Another is long-term abstinence, which is also not advisable, because long-term abstinence will also reflexively cause congestion of the sexual organs, including the prostate gland. Therefore, improper sexual life can be said to be a very important cause of disease.
