For middle-aged and elderly men, prostate problems are often a "hidden problem.". To protect the prostate, male friends must drink more water and frequently change their sitting positions.
Drinking more water can increase body fluid, fully flush the urethra, facilitate the discharge of prostate secretions, and protect the safety of the prostate. Drinking more water for men can also prevent urinary system diseases, kidney and bladder stones, etc. However, attention should be paid to controlling the amount of drinking water within two hours before going to bed. After people fall asleep, they can not discharge the water with the intention of urinating. Holding the urine will make the bladder overfilled, which will lead to difficulty in urination. In this way, it is easy to induce acute urinary retention.
In addition, because the prostate gland is located at the bottom of the human pelvic cavity, when sitting upright, the center of gravity of the human body is centered. Maintaining the same sitting position for a long time will inevitably oppress the prostate gland, which will lead to poor blood circulation over time, which may cause inflammation or congestion, hypertrophy, and thus induce prostate disease.
When a man is sitting, it is extremely easy to accumulate metabolites in his body, worsen blood circulation, cause obstruction of the prostate gland ducts, impeded secretion of glandular fluid, chronic congestion of the prostate, induce prostatitis, and lead to varying degrees of symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, incomplete urination, and urinary tract infections. Frequently adjust the sitting posture and rotate the center of gravity between the left and right hips to reduce prostate congestion. "However, one should not develop the habit of sitting on one side because one is intent on reducing the pressure on the prostate gland. This can cause muscle tension on one side of the body, which can lead to muscle pain, bone joint or pelvic floor discomfort.".
Changing the sitting posture is beneficial for the rehabilitation of BPH
When a person sits upright normally, the center of gravity naturally falls on the position of the prostate. After sitting for a long time, the hyperplastic prostate must bear the pressure of weight, which inevitably leads to the expansion of the hyperplastic prostate into the urethral canal, which oppresses the urethra. In severe cases, it can cause difficulty in urination, or even urinary closure.
If the patient's daily sitting posture consciously shifts their center of gravity to the left or right buttocks (which can be rotated appropriately between the left and right buttocks), this can prevent the body's center of gravity from directly compressing the hyperplastic prostate, thereby avoiding or reducing the pressure of the hyperplastic prostate toward the urethra. Using this method for a long time has a protective effect on the hyperplastic prostate.
In addition, patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia can also try the method of whole body shaking. After taking a deep and long breath, using both knees and hips as the focus, the whole body can easily and quickly shake up and down for 5 minutes. The arms, wrists, palms, genitals, and body all fluctuate and shake with it. "When shaking, it accelerates from slow to slow, and at the end, it gradually slows down to give the lower body a warm feeling.". After shaking, take a deep and long breath, which has the effect of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and dredging channels and activating collaterals.
