In the cold winter season, eating a steaming spicy hot pot with a friend is not always a good thing. However, after drinking hot pot wine, it is easy to have a feeling of urgency in urination and swelling of the lower genitals. When it comes to the toilet, it is very annoying to have trouble urinating. Most male tests indicate an acute prostatitis attack. In response, the editor introduced the following main reasons for this phenomenon:
1. Due to the relatively low temperature, especially in the cold winter, many male friends try to reduce outdoor activities and physical exercise, and stay indoors for a long time to maintain a sitting posture, causing long-term pressure on the prostate and causing congestion and edema, leading to acute prostatitis. This also explains why most patients with acute prostatitis are white-collar workers in the office.
2. Spicy food caused the above disaster. In particular, drinking while eating spicy hot pot is considered a great enjoyment in winter. However, spicy and stimulating foods such as chili peppers, scallions, garlic, pepper, and alcohol can cause vasodilation and organ congestion. Mild vasodilation can accelerate blood circulation, and the blood vessels of the prostate continue to expand. Prolonged hyperemia of the prostate can induce prostatitis, leading to poor urination.
3. In winter, when the temperature is low, many male friends fail to pay attention to keeping warm, causing local cooling, leading to acute prostatitis and abnormal urination. In fact, many diseases of the reproductive and urinary system have this characteristic, such as acute prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, urethritis, and so on. Generally, they quietly invade patients when they are physically and mentally tired and their immune systems decline.
All of the above factors may induce male prostatitis, so men must take good precautions! Finally, I wish everyone good health!
