Drinking alcohol and eating spicy food may be a habit of many men, but experts warn male friends to beware of these bad habits that can damage your prostate gland. If a friend who likes to drink and eat spicy food often feels unwell and wants to go to the bathroom, they may as well go to the hospital for an examination to avoid being disturbed by prostatitis.
The doctor said that Xiao Zhang should come to see a doctor earlier because prostate inflammation is the most common problem for middle-aged and middle-aged men. If a 30-50 year old man asks a urologist for help because of a problem with unsmooth urination, an experienced physician will carefully examine to see if prostatitis is causing the problem. Inadequate cleaning measures for sexual behavior, frequent urination, nervousness, depression, drinking alcohol, and craving spicy food can all lead to sequelae such as irritation in urine, increased pressure in the bladder, and backflow of urine within the prostate, which can lead to prostate inflammation.
Men with acute inflammation of the prostate may experience symptoms such as chills, fever, severe lower pain, difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and general joint pain. There may also be problems with blood in the urine and abnormal secretion in the urethra. Doctors remind young men to avoid developing prostatitis by controlling their diet:
Alcohol: Alcohol is a drink that has the effect of vasodilation. The phenomenon that people often see as "blushing when drinking" is the result of alcohol expanding facial blood vessels. For internal organs that are invisible from the outside, it is also evident that alcohol dilates blood vessels and causes congestion in the organs, including the prostate. Due to the habit of drinking alcohol for a long time, even excessive drinking, some young and middle-aged people are prone to develop prostatitis.
Smoking: Smoking is harmful to health. Although most people know about the dangers of smoking, little is known about the effects of smoking on the prostate gland. 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 the blood circulation of the prostate, and can also aggravate prostate congestion.
Spicy food: Stimulating foods such as scallions, raw garlic, chili peppers, and peppers can cause vasodilation and organ congestion. Some patients with prostatitis have a spicy eating habit, often able to control when the symptoms of the disease are severe, but relapse when the symptoms are relieved, which is also an important cause of prostatitis.
In short, in order to avoid long-term and repeated chronic congestion of prostate tissue, it is necessary to avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy food. Prostatitis patients must overcome these bad habits, especially during the remission period of the disease, and should pay attention to perseverance to avoid exacerbating the condition due to temporary pain, leading to long-term pain.
