1. Excessive smoking
According to a survey, the prevalence of prostate disease among smokers is 1-2 times higher than among non smokers. Tobacco contains more than 1200 compounds, most of which are harmful to the human body. The more smoking, the greater the harm to the prostate.
2. Eating spicy food
Director Zhang Heqing, a male health expert, pointed out that spicy foods are not the direct cause of prostate disease, but foods such as alcohol and chili peppers have a stimulating effect on the prostate and urethra, can cause temporary perineal discomfort, and can also cause vasodilation, causing congestion and edema in the prostate and bladder neck, resulting in reduced resistance of the prostate.
3. Long sitting
The position of the prostate determines that men largely sit on it, so men who often sit for a long time have a heavier prostate burden. Sitting position slows blood circulation, leading to chronic congestion and blood stasis of the prostate, accumulation of local metabolites, obstruction of the prostate gland tubes, and poor excretion of glandular fluid, leading to the occurrence of chronic prostatitis.
4. Get cold
The prostate is rich in adrenal receptors, which can easily cause sympathetic nerve stimulation when it gets cold, leading to adrenal contraction, increasing pressure in the urethra, and affecting urination. However, difficulty in urination can have adverse effects on the prostate.
5. Chronic constipation
A large amount of feces accumulated in the rectum in constipation can aggravate adjacent prostate congestion. At the same time, people with constipation often exert themselves to defecate, which increases abdominal pressure. Pressing on the prostate can make the urethra thinner and hinder urination, which is detrimental to the health of the prostate.
6. Holding urine
Frequent holding urine can make the bladder fill and swell, leading to weakness in urination, causing increased local pressure and impeded blood flow, exacerbating the symptoms of prostate hypertrophy. Holding urine can cause the bladder to overfill, compressing the prostate.
