Long-term driving can cause damage to the prostate, which is due to the impermeability of the perineum and poor blood circulation, causing obstruction of the prostate gland tubes and impeded secretion of glandular fluid, causing chronic congestion of the male prostate, which can lead to the occurrence of prostatitis.
When driving, the body is usually fixed in the seat, with a high concentration of energy. Due to the inability to engage in relaxation activities, long-term sitting and standing posture can not only cause muscle soreness in the neck and waist, but also cause long-term pressure on the urinary tract, affecting blood circulation. In addition to insufficient drinking water and frequent urination, it can cause bladder filling and swelling, leading to weak urination, causing increased local pressure, and poor blood flow. In addition, often holding urine can also easily cause urine to flow back to the kidneys, causing inflammation of the renal pelvis and ureters. Because the bladder is adjacent to the prostate, frequent urination can also make the bladder wall thinner, causing chronic inflammation of the bladder, which gradually spreads to the prostate, leading to prostatitis.
Five Tips for Preventing Prostatitis
In order to avoid the impact of long-term sitting and standing on prostatitis, friends who often drive should pay attention to avoiding overwork in their daily lives, take time to exercise, appropriately relax their muscles, eliminate overall fatigue, help the perineal blood circulation, and reduce the incidence of prostatitis.
Never drive continuously. Generally, after 1-2 hours of continuous driving, you should stop and exercise for 15 minutes. In daily life, it is necessary to be regular, exercise more, and not stay up late. During driving, it is necessary to adjust the driver's seat and frequently change positions. In addition, the following good habits should also be developed in daily life:
1. Drink more water: Drinking more water will cause more urination, and urine with high concentration will cause more stimulation to the prostate. Therefore, drink more water to dilute the concentration of urine.
2. More urination: It is the same principle for both men and women. It not only can prevent prostatitis, but also is a good method for kidney health care.
3. Regular sex life: Clinical studies have shown that having sex three times a week or regularly can alleviate prostate diseases, and the best way to empty the prostate is to have regular sex life. Many middle-aged couples often lose sex life slowly, which is very detrimental to prostate health.
4. Stay Away from Caffeine, Spicy, and Alcohol: Although the effects of these three stimulating foods on men vary from person to person, it is best to stay away for health reasons.
5. Relax More: Life stress may increase the chance of prostate enlargement. Clinical studies have shown that when life stress decreases, prostate symptoms usually ease.
The above methods are only aimed at prevention. Once men develop prostate disease, especially those who drive for a long time, they should seek medical treatment as soon as possible to avoid the many effects of inflammation on the body.
Three principles should be observed in the treatment of prostatitis
1、 Don't waste your time. Generally speaking, the symptoms of male prostatitis are more obvious. Abnormal urination symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, bifurcations, and incomplete urination are all signs of prostate disease. In addition, some patients have asymptomatic prostate fluid that contains a large number of pus cells, while some patients have normal or near normal prostate fluid tests, but the symptoms are very severe. Patients whose symptoms are not obvious often delay the treatment opportunity, thereby increasing the difficulty of treatment in the future.
2、 There is no "specific drug" for prostate disease "Some patients with prostate diseases often make generous purchases as soon as they hear of the availability of" specific drugs "to" eradicate "prostate diseases.". In fact, there are no specific drugs for treating prostatitis, and comprehensive treatment needs to be targeted at individual conditions.
3、 Scientific and standardized treatment in regular medical institutions. The etiology of the prostate is complex, especially the symptoms of chronic prostatitis are not uniform, the etiology is obscure, diagnosis is difficult, and drugs are difficult to reach the lesion, which can easily lead to long-term treatment and recurrent attacks of prostate disease. Only regular medical institutions can provide standardized treatment for this disease.
For prostate diseases, experts advocate early prevention, early detection, and early treatment. At ordinary times, men should develop scientific living habits in their daily lives, abstain from alcohol and tobacco, and eat a light and nutritious diet.
