Prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease in elderly men, which is gradually aggravated with age. Some people think that abstinence can prevent prostate hyperplasia. In fact, excessive abstinence will promote prostate hyperplasia instead. So, how to care for prostatic hyperplasia?
Excessive abstinence can cause prostatic hyperplasia
1. The components of male semen include sperm, secretory fluid of seminal vesicle and prostatic fluid secreted by prostate gland. These components are stored in seminal vesicle after mixing. When men do not ejaculate for a long time, the seminal vesicles will be in a state of high tension and filling for a long time.
2. When men repeatedly have sexual impulses that cannot be released normally, these changes in the relevant organs in their bodies have been ongoing. That is to say, the constant sexual impulse makes the secretion of prostate fluid continuously increase, and the local part of the prostate is continuously congested. Over time, it will cause prostate hyperplasia.
3. Men with normal sexual development will inevitably have frequent sexual impulse, and the human reproductive system will change with each sexual impulse, such as the secretion of various relevant glands will increase, and the blood vessels will also expand and congest.
How should the patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia be cared for in their daily diet?
1. Diet care for BPH: patients with BPH should not drink alcohol, eat less spicy and thick flavor, eat less white sugar, refined flour, drink less coffee, and eat less acidic foods such as ice lollies.
2. The diet care of patients with BPH should eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, soybean products, coarse grains (such as corn flour, buckwheat flour, etc.), and a proper amount of beef and eggs. Everyone should pay attention to the diet structure and take reasonable protein intake from youth.
3. In addition, the diet of BPH should drink more mung bean Congee. No matter how much mung beans are, put more water, boil them, put a little salt or sugar, and eat them after cooling. It is especially suitable for those who have heat in the bladder and pain in the urinary tube.
Four misunderstandings should be paid attention to in benign prostatic hyperplasia
1. Hyperplasia must be treated
Prostatic hyperplasia is not necessarily a disease. Some middle-aged and elderly friends with BPH do not have any discomfort in life. This is because BPH is outward. This situation does not cause pressure on the urethra, so it does not need treatment. Patients with dysuria should take reasonable treatment measures according to the size of hyperplasia and the severity of symptoms.
2. The greater the proliferation, the more serious the disease
Some patients find that their prostate hyperplasia is particularly serious after examination, and they are very worried. In fact, the size of BPH has nothing to do with the severity of the disease. As long as the hyperplasia of prostate tissue does not cause pressure on the urethra, even if the hyperplasia is large, it can not be treated.
3. Surgery can cause sexual dysfunction
There are many ways to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia by surgery, of which the side effects of laser treatment are small. Because of the difficulty of operation, the resection of prostate is often incomplete, and it is easy to relapse after operation. Surgical treatment of BPH will have a certain impact on the sexual function of patients, but it will not cause sexual dysfunction. Because the surgical treatment is partial resection of the prostate, and the prostate fluid secreted by the prostate is the main component of the semen, the sexual life of the patient after the operation can be normal, but there may be no sperm.
4. Hyperplasia can lead to prostate cancer
There is no clinical evidence that BPH can lead to prostate cancer. The prostate includes two parts: the prostate capsule and the prostate body. The prostatic hyperplasia occurs in the prostate body, while the prostate cancer occurs on the prostate capsule. There is no direct relationship between the two.
