Prostatitis is a common disease in men. Because of the lack of understanding of the disease, many men are excessively worried about prostatitis, resulting in excessive treatment. Most prostatitis belongs to chronic prostatitis, but it can be self-healed by changing living habits.
Prostatitis can heal itself
Prostatitis includes acute prostatitis caused by infection and chronic prostatitis caused by non-infection. Prostate disease is not terrible, it is just an inflammation. Young people are prone to prostatitis, most of which are caused by excessive drinking or bad living habits. Among these patients, more than 70% can achieve self-healing without treatment.
Because young people have certain self-recovery ability, if they change their bad habits, they can heal themselves.
But if the symptoms of prostatitis are serious, affecting life, and even affecting fertility, we should pay attention to it and treat it.
Three typical symptoms of prostatitis
There are three typical symptoms of prostatitis, which are irritation symptoms, obstructive symptoms, and obstructive complications.
Irritating symptoms:
We are familiar with frequent urination and urgency of urination, which are irritating symptoms of the prostate. Patients with prostatitis may also urinate more frequently, even incontinence. This is due to the stimulation of prostatitis, which leads to excessive bladder activity.
Obstruction symptoms:
It is characterized by laborious urination, urine thinning, dripping after urination, etc. Prostatitis patients sometimes have to wait a little longer to urinate.
Obstructive complications:
The symptoms include urinary infection, stones, and pain.
Don't do three things to protect the prostate
1. Drinking
If you have a history of prostate disease, don't drink often. Because alcohol will stimulate the blood circulation of the human body.
Wine entering the body can accelerate blood circulation and expand blood vessels, especially splanchnic blood vessels, and the prostate is no exception. When suffering from prostatitis, especially acute prostatitis, alcohol should be strictly prohibited to avoid the spread of inflammation and other chain reactions. For patients with chronic prostatitis, drinking a lot of alcohol is very harmful. Because drinking a lot of alcohol can damage the body's defense function, make bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms easy to invade, and greatly increase the chances of infection and relapse of old diseases. Therefore, patients with chronic prostatitis should be cautious about drinking alcohol.
2. Sedentary
The prostate is wedge-shaped, and men keep sitting for a long time to let the body pressure the prostate. It causes gland hyperemia and makes the excretion of prostate fluid difficult, thus causing aseptic inflammation. Therefore, it is recommended that men sit up and walk after 40 minutes. If they drive or ride for a long time, they should also pay attention to changing their sitting posture to fully relax the prostate.
3. Spicy food
Spicy food will also stimulate the prostate, leading to prostate congestion, which will affect the recovery of prostatitis. Spicy food also affects gastrointestinal digestion and causes constipation. Poor stool will also compress the prostate, leading to prostate congestion. If you eat spicy food and drink alcohol, it is even more harmful to the prostate.
