What should I pay attention to when I have prostatitis?

There are actually many people who suffer from prostate disease, but many patients do not face this disease. There are many things that patients with prostatitis need to pay attention to, such as regular exercise, drinking plenty of water, not holding urine, etc., and then actively undergoing treatment, they can recover quickly. This disease requires correct treatment and care.

What are the dangers of prostatitis?

1. Symptoms and pain: Due to the stimulation of inflammation, a series of symptoms are produced, such as swelling and pain in the lumbar sacral area, perineum, testicles, etc., unclean urine, frequent urination at night, etc., which make the patient irritable and affect work and life.

2. Impact on sexual function: As the disease has not been cured for a long time, various symptoms and discomforts worsen after sexual intercourse, or directly affect the feeling and quality of sexual life, causing a kind of malignant stimulation to the patient, gradually developing a sense of disgust, leading to impotence, premature ejaculation and other phenomena.

3. Leading to infertility: Long-term chronic inflammation causes changes in the composition of prostatic fluid, affecting the secretory function of the prostate, which in turn affects the liquefaction time of semen and reduces sperm motility, which can lead to male infertility.

4. It can lead to chronic nephritis and even develop into uremia. If prostatitis is not treated in time, it can lead to prostate hyperplasia, which will compress the bladder outlet, making it impossible to completely empty the urine, resulting in residual urine.

5. Endocrine disorders and mental disorders. Under normal circumstances, the prostate can secrete a variety of active substances. Due to prostate inflammation, endocrine disorders can cause neurasthenia and mental disorders; symptoms such as insomnia, fatigue, dizziness, slow thinking, and memory loss may also occur.

6. Infecting spouses and causing gynecological inflammation. Prostatitis can be transmitted to wives, especially prostatitis caused by some special bacteria, the inflammation can be transmitted to wives through sexual intercourse.

7. Prone to infection. The human prostate contains an antibacterial substance called prostate antibacterial factor. When the prostate is inflamed, this antibacterial factor decreases, making it easy to cause infection.

8. Susceptible to tumors. In 1985, American data believed that oncogenes were the most important factor, and viruses were also a possible cause.

The latest research shows that normal prostate fluid contains an anti-cancer substance that is important for inhibiting tumors. However, when the prostate is diseased, this anti-cancer substance decreases, making it easy to cause tumors.

Things to note for prostatitis in daily life

1. Exercise regularly: Strengthen the movement of abdomen, thighs and buttocks. It can massage the prostate and promote prostate function.

2. Drink more water: The reduction in water intake will inevitably lead to urine concentration, and the frequency of urination will also decrease. Harmful substances in the urine will remain in the body, and "urine reflux" will enter the prostate, causing inflammation. Drinking more than 2 liters of water a day can fully clean the urethra and protect the prostate.

3. Do not hold urine: Holding urine will overfill the bladder and compress the prostate. Especially for patients with prostate problems, holding urine can easily cause urine to reflux through the opening of the prostate duct, causing chemical prostatitis, and reflux through the opening of the ejaculatory duct, causing epididymitis.

4. Avoid spicy food: Eating too much spicy food, smoking and drinking are also one of the causes of prostatitis. Keep warm: Keep warm can reduce muscle tissue contraction and restore the congestion and edema of the prostate.

5. Eat more zinc: The trace element zinc can enhance the prostate's anti-infection effect and should be consumed more. In addition, antioxidants have a protective effect on the prostate. You should consume more coarse grains, nuts, vegetable oils, fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement various antioxidants.

6. Don’t sit for long periods of time: Sitting for long periods of time, like holding back urine, can easily cause poor local blood circulation and accumulation of metabolic products. Therefore, it is recommended that you get up and move around for a few minutes every hour of work.

7. Moderate sexual intercourse: Excessive sexual intercourse and frequent masturbation can cause the prostate to be in a state of congestion for a long time and induce prostatitis. In addition, during sexual intercourse, the prostate is congested and glandular fluid is secreted. If sexual intercourse is suddenly interrupted, it will cause stagnation of prostate fluid and congestion of the prostate, causing inflammation.

8. Clean frequently: Develop a good habit of cleaning the perineum frequently, keep the perineum clean and dry, prevent retrograde infection, and prevent the occurrence of prostatitis.

9. Early treatment: Chronic prostatitis, urethritis, cystitis, epididymitis and other urinary system diseases should be treated promptly and thoroughly.

10. Keep yourself clean: Avoid unclean sexual intercourse to avoid special types of prostatitis caused by sexually transmitted pathogens.

11. Adjust your life or work pressure by yourself: relax, feel comfortable, and your immunity will naturally increase.
