Will smoking and drinking cause prostatitis? Urology experts at Shanghai 411 Hospital pointed out that prostatitis is a male prostate disease with a relatively high incidence rate and is also quite harmful. If men do not have a good lifestyle, they are very likely to be infected. So will smoking and drinking cause prostatitis?

Smoking is harmful to your health. Although most people are aware of the dangers of smoking, few know that smoking can also affect the prostate.

In fact, toxic substances such as alkali, tar, nitrosamines, carbon monoxide, etc. in cigarettes can not only directly poison the prostate tissue, but also interfere with the nerve function that controls blood vessels, affect the blood circulation of the prostate, and aggravate the congestion of the prostate.

Alcohol is a drink that dilates blood vessels. The phenomenon of "blushing after drinking" that people often see is the result of alcohol dilating blood vessels on the face. For internal organs that cannot be seen from the outside, alcohol dilates blood vessels and causes organ congestion, and the prostate is no exception. Because some young people have a habit of long-term drinking, or even alcoholism, they are prone to prostatitis.
