A year ago, I was diagnosed with prostatitis, but if I want to exercise by cycling, will it worsen my condition and I have to bid farewell to cycling?
Prostate experts answer:
Prostate disease is not suitable for cycling exercise.
The prostate is located deep in the human body, under the inner bladder of the male pelvic cavity, adjacent to the bladder neck, seminal vesicle gland and vas deferens ampulla, close to the pubic symphysis in the front, and close to the rectum in the back, surrounded by human organ and muscles. Normal blood circulation and microcirculation of the gland are completed under heavy pressure.
The metabolic function of the prostate is very weak. Performing some physical exercise can help with gland metabolism. Exercise can not only strengthen the body, but also benefit human circulation and metabolism; Lower limb exercise is very important for prostate health, such as jogging, brisk walking, deep squatting, etc., which are all very helpful for gland health; But vigorous exercise has little effect on prostate metabolism.
Some patients with prostate diseases are also not suitable for vigorous exercise, so to protect the prostate, mild lower limb exercise should be the main method.
Exercise that compresses the glands, such as prolonged cycling, is definitely not conducive to prostate health. Long term cycling is similar to sitting for a long time, which can cause heavy pressure on the prostate gland by organs in the human abdominal cavity. Bicycle seats are generally harder, not only squeezing the male scrotum, but also forming another type of pressure on the prostate gland.
Multiple forms of compression can cause poor blood circulation and local metabolism in the glands, making them prone to developing sclerotic lesions or exacerbating the course of the disease.
Moderate and gentle lower limb exercise can help healthy men stay away from prostate diseases; Men who have become patients with prostate diseases should pay more attention to gentle lower limb movements, as they can smooth metabolism and have a good auxiliary effect on treatment.
