Chronic prostatitis care methods

1. Positive attitude

The treatment of chronic prostatitis is a long process. After spending a lot of time, energy and money, the symptoms are still not relieved. Therefore, many patients will lose confidence in curing the disease psychologically, live in a state of frustration for a long time, and seriously affect their normal life and work.

If patients can re-examine their own diseases, they will find that the fluctuations in disease symptoms are often closely related to emotions and mental states. When they are in a good mood or are more engaged in work and study, they often feel that their symptoms have been alleviated, or even that they do not feel the pain; when they are in a low mood, they feel that the pain has worsened. And this feeling of worsening pain, in turn, makes the mood even more depressed, thus forming a vicious cycle and causing a continuous depression. Therefore, for many patients with chronic prostatitis, trying to adjust their mental state and maintain a positive attitude towards life is the first problem to be valued and solved.

2. Good living habits

First, in life: you must maintain a regular schedule, ensure adequate sleep, and prevent irregular life or excessive fatigue from causing a decrease in immunity.

Second, diet: patients need to avoid excessive drinking and eating spicy food. In addition, after the occurrence of chronic prostatitis, the local zinc ion concentration of the prostate decreases, which will affect the disease resistance of the prostate. Therefore, patients can choose to eat foods with high zinc content, such as sesame, peanuts, apples, etc. At the same time, you can also take appropriate amounts of vitamin C and vitamin E to improve the symptoms by using their antioxidant and free radical scavenging effects. The flushing of the urethra by urine can not only help the excretion of prostate secretions, but also help prevent the occurrence of repeated infections. Therefore, patients should pay attention to drinking plenty of water and urinating frequently. At the same time, pay attention to keeping the bowels smooth and avoid constipation.

Third, exercise: moderate exercise has a good effect on emotional regulation and physical recovery. Walking, jogging, and gymnastics are all good forms of exercise. Through the exercise of the abdomen, perineum, and buttocks muscles, the blood and lymphatic circulation of the prostate can be promoted, which is conducive to the dissipation and absorption of local inflammation. The intensity of exercise depends on your own habits to control and adjust. Don't be too intense, and it is not suitable to do competitive sports such as sprinting. It should be pointed out that long-term sitting and long-term cycling can cause local congestion of the prostate, accumulation of prostate metabolic products, and obstruction of prostate fluid discharge, which becomes one of the main causes of chronic prostatitis. Therefore, patients must maintain proper rest and moderate activity in between work; continuous cycling should not exceed half an hour. If the journey is long, you can choose to get off the bike and walk or rest for a short while before riding again.

3. Moderate and regular sex life

Many patients with chronic prostatitis have concerns about sex. They worry that sex will transmit pathogens to their spouses, or that sex will aggravate prostatitis. Some patients with ejaculation pain stay away from sex. Therefore, a considerable number of patients with chronic prostatitis live a long-term abstinence life. In fact, sexual excitement increases the secretion of prostatic fluid. Frequent sexual excitement without ejaculation will cause prostatic fluid to accumulate in the prostate, providing a good environment and medium for the growth, reproduction and spread of pathogens. On the contrary, moderate and regular sex or masturbation can discharge prostatic fluid, relieve prostatic fluid stagnation, improve local blood circulation, promote the absorption and dissipation of inflammation, contribute to the normal function of the prostate and the recovery of patients, and also help improve the quality of life and psychological state of patients.
