Because the prostate is located inside the human pelvic cavity, the early symptoms of prostatitis are not prominent or typical, so it is easily overlooked by patients and doctors, or misdiagnosed as other diseases. In order to detect prostatitis early, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of it and pay attention to it in daily life.
The clinical manifestations of prostatitis, especially chronic prostatitis, are complex and variable, and it is often difficult for patients to master. However, due to the specific location of the prostate gland, most patients will experience abnormal urination symptoms after becoming ill. The symptoms of early prostatitis often include the following:
1、 Pain: The posterior urethra can have a burning sensation and a sense of ant movement. Pain in the perineum and anus can radiate to the lumbosacral region, groin, suprapubic region, penis, testicles, and occasionally to the abdomen.
2、 Physiological dysfunction: It can include decreased libido, impotence, premature ejaculation, painful ejaculation, and increased frequency of ejaculation. Individual patients have blood sperm or decreased sperm activity due to inflammation of the vas deferens, leading to male infertility.
3、 Secondary symptoms: Allergic reactions caused by bacterial toxins can lead to conjunctivitis, iritis, arthritis, neuritis, etc.
4、 Symptoms of neurasthenia: Due to a lack of correct understanding of the disease or prolonged treatment, the patient may experience depression, fatigue, insomnia, etc.
So how to prevent prostatitis in life?
1. Pay attention to a reasonable diet
In daily diet, be light, avoid alcohol and spicy; You can eat more foods that contain trace elements, such as pumpkin seed kernels, peanut kernels, almonds, and sesame seeds. You can also eat more seafood, lean meat, coarse grains, legumes, and Huajin Xinfen; It has a good therapeutic effect on patients with prostate diseases.
2. Drink more water without holding back urine
Drinking more water can lead to more urination. High concentration urine can cause some irritation to the prostate, and long-term adverse stimulation is harmful to the prostate. Drinking too much can not only dilute blood, but also effectively dilute the concentration of urine.
Once the bladder is filled with urine, you should urinate. Holding urine is not good for the bladder and prostate. Before taking a long-distance bus, you should empty your urine before taking the bus. If you need to urinate urgently on the way, you should greet the driver, get off and urinate, and never hold your breath.
3. Physical exercise
Exercise in the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks can massage the prostate and promote blood circulation and lymphatic circulation in the prostate. Therefore, jogging or brisk walking for 20 to 30 minutes a day for middle-aged and elderly people has a health effect on the prostate, and sit-ups are also beneficial.
4. Abstemious life
Sexual life should be moderate, neither indulgence nor abstinence. Frequent sexual activity can cause the prostate to become congested for a long time, leading to prostate enlargement. Therefore, especially in the youth with strong sexual desire, it is necessary to pay attention to abstinence in sexual life, avoid repeated hyperemia of the prostate, and provide time for the prostate to fully recover and repair. Of course, excessive abstinence can cause fullness and discomfort, which is also detrimental to the prostate gland.
