In cold weather, elderly patients with prostatitis begin to worry again, because cold environment is one of the high-risk factors that stimulate prostatitis. Prostatitis can be cured just like a cold, but once caught cold or not noticed, it is easy to relapse. So, what is the reason why prostatitis is prone to recurrent attacks?
1. The prostate is a glandular organ in the male genitourinary system. From an anatomical position, it is adjacent to the seminal vesicle, vas deferens, ureters, bladder, and rectum. Once "neighbors" have inflammation, it is easy to cause a recurrence of prostatitis.
2. Acute prostatitis without timely treatment can evolve into chronic prostatitis, where bacteria are often difficult to completely kill and are prone to "resurgence"; "Because there are many small prostate tubes in the prostate, the unobstructed discharge of prostate fluid can easily lead to blockage, the growth and reproduction of pathogens such as bacteria, and the decline in resistance can lead to a recurrence of prostatitis.".
3. Incorrect and unscientific treatment methods emerge in an endless stream, not only failing to cure the disease, but also causing the infected pathogens to develop drug resistance, even exacerbating the condition, and bringing greater difficulties to future treatment.
4. Some patients with prostatitis caused by sexually transmitted diseases only know how to see a doctor themselves, ignoring the examination and treatment of their sexual partners, resulting in a vicious cycle of infection - treatment - re infection - re treatment.
5. The patient has been suffering from long-term illness and mental trauma, and needs to receive psychological treatment when necessary.
How to prevent recurrence of prostatitis in winter
First of all, adhere to exercise, promote blood circulation, and improve the body's cold resistance and immunity. Secondly, pay attention to local warmth preservation. People with a history of chronic prostatitis should quickly change into thick pants when the temperature drops suddenly to keep the perineum and lower abdomen warm and dry. Before going to bed at night, you can repeatedly massage the perineum with a warm water bag or take a hot sitz bath for about 15 minutes.
Again, don't sit too long and don't sit in cold chairs. Sitting for a long time can lead to prostate congestion and increase difficulty urinating. You should get up and exercise from time to time. Some people are tired from walking and like to rest on cold chairs on the roadside or in the park. Especially in autumn and winter, it is particularly cold in the morning and evening, and there is still dew on the chair. Even sitting for only two or three minutes can have an impact on the prostate.
Finally, to prevent recurrence of prostatitis, it is necessary to eat more food that can resist the cold. Fear of cold is related to insufficient intake of certain minerals by the body. In winter, drinking more milk, eating more soy products, animal liver, beef and mutton can enhance cold resistance.
