The prostate is known as the "first gland" of a man. The prostate fluid it secretes every day is a component of semen, which can be seen as closely related to reproduction. However, according to statistics, about half of men worldwide will develop prostatitis in their lifetime. How can we not be troubled by it?
The prostate is most afraid of seven words: pressure, cold, suffocation, drunkenness, spicy, smoke, sex??
When it comes to inflammation, everyone will think of bacterial infections, but clinical data shows that only 5% of prostatitis is caused by bacterial infections, while most of the others are caused by poor lifestyles.
Pressure - Modern people are all sitting at work, eight hours a day is the norm, and even more, more than ten hours a day. Due to the special location of the prostate, when a man sits down, he will compress the gland, causing blood circulation disorders in the gland, and prostate fluid cannot be excreted normally, leading to inflammation.
Cold - The prostate is particularly afraid of cold, but now many men wear very little in winter and often eat cold drinks in summer. When people get cold, the sympathetic nerve is excited, causing vasoconstriction, and prostate fluid excretion is impeded, ultimately causing inflammation.
Holding back - holding back urine for a long time, causing urine to flow back into the prostate, causing inflammation; In addition, urination can flush the bacteria in the urethra, but modern men who drink too little water, urinate too often, and have a reduced ability to flush the urethra can also cause prostatitis.
Drunken - The dual stimulation of alcohol can rapidly expand the capillaries of the prostate, causing gland congestion, and causing prostatitis.
Smoke - Tobacco burning can produce a variety of harmful substances that can directly damage the elasticity of blood vessels and induce disease.
Spicy - Eating too much spicy food can also stimulate the urethra and prostate, causing prostatitis.
Sex - Frequent marital life or long-term abstinence can also affect the blood circulation of the prostate, causing inflammation.
What are the hazards of prostatitis?
Although prostatitis is a common disease, if it is not treated for a long time, it still has a significant impact on life:
First, it affects the quality of life of couples and can also cause psychological disorders in patients;
Secondly, if prostatitis is not treated in a timely manner, it can lead to hyperplasia of the prostate, long-term compression of the bladder, making urine unable to empty, leading to residual urine, causing urinary tract infections and even nephritis;
Third, infection caused by prostatitis can lead to seminal vesiculitis, vasculitis, etc;
Fourth, it affects the dysfunction of endocrine hormones and brings great difficulties to life.
Whether there is prostatitis, two signals can be self checked
1. Pain: Common sites include the perineum, lumbosacral region, and lower abdomen, accompanied by anal distension.
2. Urination symptoms: such as urgency, frequent urination, incomplete urination, and abnormal urinary secretion in the urethra.
Of course, if the above two symptoms are difficult to determine, the diagnosis can be made through B-ultrasound examination and routine examination of prostate fluid.
Can prostatitis be cured?
In fact, in the eyes of doctors, prostatitis is not an incurable disease. Generally speaking, as long as formal treatment is used and bad lifestyle is changed, it can be cured.
Step 1: Change unhealthy lifestyles.
Step 2: Carry out anti-inflammatory treatment. If it is chronic bacterial prostatitis, only oral antibiotics are required. If it is acute, infusion treatment is required.
Step 3: The doctor will prescribe corresponding medication for the patient and take it according to the course of treatment to alleviate symptoms.
