Prostate gland is one of the most important parts for men to keep healthy. It is related to men's sexual ability and reproductive health. So how should men protect prostate gland? What should we pay attention to in our daily life?
1. Eat well
What to supplement: trace elements zinc and antioxidants (both beneficial to the health of the prostate).
What to eat: It is good for the prostate to eat some kidney tonic. Pumpkin seeds and walnut kernels are not only good for tonifying the kidney, but also have diuretic function, and walnut kernels have the effect of moistening the stool. Therefore, when men are old, they should eat more pumpkin seeds and walnut kernels to supplement the deficiency of kidney qi.
It is good for men to eat garlic and vinegar often, which is good for protecting the prostate and killing bacteria in the prostate.
What not to eat: Although alcohol, chili and other foods as well as smoking will not directly cause prostate disease, they can stimulate the prostate and urethra, cause temporary perineal discomfort, and also cause congestion and edema in the prostate and bladder neck, resulting in poor urination. Therefore, contact should be minimized. Especially remind that food cannot replace medicine, and don't forget to take medicine no matter how busy you are. Most of the drugs for prostate hyperplasia should be taken every day. Don't leave a meal.
Pay attention to your diet. If you want to have a healthy prostate. We should try to refrain from eating spicy food in our life, because these foods are very stimulating. So it is good to suggest that you eat more vegetables and fruits.
2. Drink well
What to drink: water.
Function: When the weather is cold, it is still advocated to drink more water and urinate more, and flush the urethra fully through urine, which is conducive to the discharge of prostate secretion and can also prevent the infection of the urethra. Even patients with prostate disease should drink more water.
How to drink: drink more during the day. Drink at least 7 glasses of water (about 2000 ml) every day. Drink one cup of water (70 ml) every morning after getting up. It can protect your prostate at any time, make urination smooth, diminish inflammation, detoxify, and tonify the kidney. In order to avoid frequent waking up, drinking water should be reduced 2 to 3 hours before going to bed.
Special reminder: drink too much and urinate too much. However, it is not advisable to "endure for a while" in case of urgency. Holding urine will make the bladder overfilled and compress the prostate. For patients with prostate diseases, it is easy to cause urine reflux, harm the kidneys and ureters, even cause renal failure, and may also cause dysuria and acute urinary retention. So, remember to urinate immediately when you feel like urinating.
3. Play well
What to play: take a walk and fight
How to play: Many patients with BPH have retired and have more spare time. They like playing mahjong and poker. This is beyond reproach. However, when playing mahjong and poker, it is easy to sit for a long time. The position of the prostate determines that men "sit" on the prostate, so the prostate burden of men who often sit for a long time is heavier. Therefore, when playing mahjong and poker, you should get up and walk from time to time. It is better not to play mahjong and poker for a long time. You should choose other playing methods and activities, such as walking and boxing.
Avoid sedentary, including cycling, motorcycle and car driving for a long time. The sitting position slows down the blood circulation, especially in the perineum, which leads to chronic congestion and blood stasis of the prostate, accumulation of local metabolites, obstruction of the prostate gland tube, and poor excretion of glandular fluid, leading to the occurrence of chronic prostatitis.
Maintenance skills
1. Drink more water. Drinking more water will cause more urination. Urine with high concentration will stimulate 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. Do not hold urine. Once the bladder is filled with urine, you should urinate. Holding urine is bad 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 say hello to the driver, get off and urinate, don't hold your breath.
3. Temper your sex life. To prevent prostate hypertrophy, we should pay attention to it from the young age. The key is to have a moderate sex life, and not indulge or abstain. Frequent sexual life will make the prostate in hyperemia for a long time, and even cause prostate enlargement. Therefore, especially in the youth with strong sexual desire, pay attention to abstinence in sexual life, avoid repeated hyperemia of the prostate, and give the prostate time to fully recover and repair. Of course, excessive abstinence will cause fullness and discomfort, which is also harmful to the prostate.
4. Relax more. Life pressure may increase the chance of prostate enlargement. Clinically, when the pressure of life slows down, the symptoms of prostate will be relieved, so we should try to keep relaxed at ordinary times.
5. Take a warm bath. Taking a warm bath can relieve the tension between muscles and prostate, and relieve the discomfort symptoms. Frequent taking a warm bath is undoubtedly very beneficial for patients with prostate disease. If you use warm water to bathe your pudenda 1-2 times a day, you can also get good results.
6. Keep clean. The male scrotum is flexible and secretes more sweat. In addition, the vulva is poorly ventilated, so it is easy to hide dirt and dirt. Local bacteria often take advantage of this, which will lead to prostatitis, prostate hypertrophy, and decreased sexual function. If you do not pay attention in time, serious infection will occur. Therefore, cleaning the perineum is an important link in preventing prostatitis. In addition, it is necessary to wash the external genitalia every time you have a roommate.
7. Protect against cold. Don't sit on the cool stone for a long time, because the cold can make the sympathetic nerve excited, resulting in increased internal pressure of the urethra and causing reflux.
8. Avoid friction. Perineal friction will aggravate the symptoms of the prostate and make the patient obviously uncomfortable. In order to prevent local harmful friction, you should ride less bicycles, let alone bicycles or motorcycles for a long time or a long distance.
9. Try not to sit too long. Avoid playing mahjong, playing poker, watching TV, etc. for a long time. Desk workers or those who need to take a long-distance bus should get up and exercise their muscles and bones at regular intervals. In addition, cycling and other cross-riding actions will cause pressure on the prostate and lead to prostate congestion. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid cycling for a long time.
