Prostatitis is a common disease in men, and it is extremely easy to relapse in cold weather. Due to the high temperature in summer, leading to accelerated blood circulation, the symptoms of prostatitis can be temporarily alleviated, but this does not mean that prostatitis has improved. If it is not protected in the autumn and winter seasons, it is easy to be "attacked" by prostatitis.
Preventing prostatitis requires avoiding colds
During the autumn and winter of each year, prostatitis diseases are prone to relapse, which is mainly caused by two aspects. First of all, when a person has a cold, the body's immune system will naturally decline, and various bacteria are more likely to invade the body. Secondly, the climate changes from warm to cold, and the temperature difference between day and night increases. A cold can cause sympathetic nerve excitation, gland muscles, and blood vessels to contract, leading to poor excretion of prostate fluid, and aggravating symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination.
Generally speaking, colds do not cause prostatitis. However, if the patient has prostatitis themselves, a cold can reduce immunity and worsen the symptoms of prostatitis. Fever can cause prostatitis, as the symptoms of acute prostatitis are generalized pain and fever.
Prostatitis is a common and easily recurrent disease. It is recommended that men drink as much water as possible to flush the urethra and promote the discharge of prostate secretions through urination. Also try to quit smoking, alcohol, and spicy food, and maintain a good lifestyle. Even if the body is usually strong, it is necessary to increase or decrease clothing as the temperature changes to avoid catching cold. Once suffering from a cold, it is necessary to deal with it in a timely manner and not delay the illness. It is best to go to a regular hospital for medical treatment.
Patients with Prostatitis Should Be Careful in Treating Colds
Patients with prostatitis should be cautious about using drugs containing chlorpheniramine for colds. This is because the process of urination is controlled by the nervous system. Taking certain drugs that have inhibitory effects on the nervous system may enhance the degree of inhibition. Common cold medicines contain chlorpheniramine. "Due to the fact that the urethra is surrounded by an enlarged prostate gland and oppresses the urethra, patients with prostatitis cannot urinate smoothly. If they take cold medicine, it can lead to inhibition of the nervous system, weaken the role of the muscles responsible for urination in the bladder, and increase difficulty in urination.".
Prostatitis Symptoms Men Should Pay Attention to
In addition to familiar symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency of urination, and poor urination, some prostatitis can also have symptoms that appear to be other diseases, such as neurasthenia, dreaminess, insomnia, fatigue, and dizziness. Individual acute prostatitis can also have hematuria symptoms. Here, male friends are also reminded to pay more attention. In addition, patients with chronic aseptic prostatitis begin to increase in winter, which can easily induce symptoms such as perineal pain, scrotal dampness, and low back pain. Patients also need to be vigilant.
