Long term repeated congestion of the prostate is one of the causes of chronic prostatitis, and whether it is bacterial prostatitis or aseptic prostatitis, the inflamed prostate tissue will be extensively congested.
Therefore, when preventing and treating chronic prostatitis, it is very important to pay full attention to preventing factors that may cause or increase prostate congestion.
Alcohol is a type of beverage that has a vasodilator effect, and the phenomenon that people often see as "blushing when drinking" is the result of alcohol expanding facial blood vessels. For invisible internal organs, alcohol dilation of blood vessels can also cause organ congestion, and the prostate is no exception. Due to the habit of long-term drinking and even excessive drinking among some middle-aged people, chronic prostatitis is not easy to cure, and even if cured, it is very easy to relapse.
Smoking is harmful to one's health. Although most people are aware of the dangers of smoking, little is known about the impact smoking can have on the prostate. In fact, toxic substances such as nicotine, tar, nitrosamines, and carbon monoxide in cigarettes can not only directly poison prostate tissue, but also interfere with the neural function that governs blood vessels, affect blood circulation in the prostate, and can also exacerbate prostate congestion.
Spicy foods, such as scallions, raw garlic, chili peppers, peppers, and other stimulating foods, can cause vascular dilation and organ congestion. Some patients with chronic prostatitis have a habit of eating spicy foods, often able to control when the symptoms of the disease are severe, but relapse when the symptoms are relieved, which is also an important reason for the prolonged and difficult recovery of prostatitis.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, prostatitis belongs to the category of diseases known as "sores and swollen toxins".
It is best to also try to eat as little as possible about the "hair products" mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine:
1. Edible fungi: mainly mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, etc. Overeating these foods can easily trigger wind induced yang, trigger liver yang headaches, liver wind dizziness, and other chronic diseases. In addition, it can also easily induce or worsen skin sores and swelling.
2. Sea fish: mainly including hairtail, yellow croaker, pomfret, clam, shrimp, crabs and other aquatic products. Most of these foods are salty, cold, and fishy, which can easily trigger allergic disease attacks such as asthma and urticaria for those with allergic constitution. At the same time, they can also trigger skin diseases such as sores and swelling.
3. Vegetables: mainly bamboo shoots, mustard, pumpkin, spinach, etc. These foods can easily cause skin sores and swelling.
4. Fruit category: mainly peaches, apricots, etc. Previous studies have pointed out that eating more peaches is prone to heat, causing various diseases such as carbuncle, sore, gangrene, furuncle, and insect malnutrition. Eating more apricots can cause carbuncle and furuncle, which can damage muscles and bones.
5. Poultry and livestock: mainly including rooster, chicken head, pig head meat, goose meat, chicken wings, chicken feet, etc. These types of food are active and floating, and can easily cause wind and yang to rise, triggering chronic diseases such as liver yang headache, liver wind and dizziness, and can also easily induce or worsen skin sores and swelling. Eggs should not be eaten too much.
So, in order to avoid long-term and repeated chronic congestion of prostate tissue, it is necessary to avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods. Patients with chronic prostatitis must overcome these bad habits, especially during the remission period of the disease, and should pay attention to persistence to avoid exacerbating the condition due to temporary pain, leading to long-term pain.
Other precautions for chronic prostatitis:
1. Avoid bad habits such as prolonged sitting, staying up late, holding urine for a long time, unclean sexual behavior, excessive sexual activity, and having sex after showering.
2. Adhere to regular treatment and lifestyle.
3. Be cautious in using any treatment method that involves urethral, targeted, or anal interventions, and do not trust any medical advertisements. The so-called "high-tech" treatment has no other effect or therapeutic effect except for cheating money, and even worsens as the treatment progresses.
4. During treatment, there is no need to prohibit sexual activity. Proper sexual activity can help with recovery, but it is also important to avoid excessive sexual activity.
5. Do not abuse antibiotic.
6. To achieve a complete cure for prostate diseases, systematic treatment is necessary, not just for a moment. A good mindset is crucial.
7. If there is infection with pathogens such as Mycoplasma and Chlamydia, it is better to treat both spouses together.
8. Persist in exercising for one hour a day, no less than three times a week, which is beneficial for recovery.
9. Foods that are beneficial for prostate rehabilitation include winter melon kernels, pumpkin seeds, chestnuts, apples, white fungus, and selenium containing foods.
Tip: Moderate exercise, a good mindset, and a regular lifestyle can help restore health.
