Prostatitis can be divided into acute and chronic prostatitis according to its course and manifestations.
During acute prostatitis, patients may manifest frequent urination, urgency, and pain in urination. They may experience dripping urine, terminal hematuria, and pain in the perineum, as well as radiation to the perineum, lumbosacral, or thigh. They may experience symptoms such as high fever, chills, headaches, general pain, fatigue, and loss of appetite.
The symptoms of chronic prostatitis vary in severity, with mild to asymptomatic symptoms. However, most patients can see pain or discomfort in the perineum or rectum. Pain can radiate to the lumbosacral region or to the pubic bone, testicles, groin, etc. It can have symptoms such as discomfort in urination, burning sensation in urination, and often milky white secretion at the urethral orifice.
Dietary health care
Tomato: Tomato is a fruit and vegetable that men cannot miss. The lycopene contained in tomato has the function of "dredging" the gland and preventing prostate disease. Tomatoes are also rich in vitamin C, calcium, potassium, and other nutrients, which can stabilize blood vessel functions, improve immune function, and promote calcium absorption and deposition.
Pumpkin seeds: Pumpkin seeds are rich in trace element zinc. Zinc is an essential element in the human body, which is closely related to metabolism, growth and development, as well as various other physiological functions. Male semen contains a large amount of zinc, and insufficient zinc in the body can affect the quantity and quality of sperm. So men should eat more pumpkin seeds every day.
Carrots: Carrots are rich in β- Carotene. β- Carotene can be converted into vitamin A in the body as an antioxidant that can enhance the body's resistance and help prevent the occurrence of prostatitis and tumors.
Six Methods of Prostate Care
1. Drink more water. Drinking more water can lead to more urination. High concentration urine can cause some irritation to the prostate, and long-term adverse stimulation is harmful to the prostate. Drinking more water can not only dilute blood, but also effectively dilute the concentration of urine.
2. Moderate sexual activity. Prostatitis patients should refrain from having sex during their illness and avoid any behavior that may lead to X excitement.
3. Avoid friction. Perineal friction can exacerbate the symptoms of the prostate and make patients visibly uncomfortable. In order to prevent localized harmful friction, it is recommended to ride fewer bicycles, and not to ride bicycles or motorcycles for long periods or distances.
4. Take a warm bath. Taking a warm bath can relieve the tension between muscles and prostate gland, alleviate discomfort symptoms, and regular bathing in warm water is undoubtedly very beneficial for patients with prostate disease. If you use warm water sitz baths to massage the genitals 1-2 times a day, you can also receive good results.
5. Protect against cold. Do not sit on cold stones for a long time, as cold can increase sympathetic nerve excitation, leading to increased internal pressure in the urethra and causing reflux.
6. Do not hold urine. Once the bladder is filled with urine, you should urinate. Holding urine is not good for the bladder and prostate. Before taking a long-distance bus, you should empty your urine before taking the bus. If you need to urinate urgently on the way, you should greet the driver, get off and urinate, and never hold your breath.
