As a common male disease, the harm of prostatitis constantly threatens the physical and mental health of male friends, and in addition, it also affects the quality of life of family members of prostatitis patients.
Due to the fact that the seminal vesicle and prostate are anatomical neighbors, the excretory duct of the seminal vesicle and the end of the vas deferens converge to form the ejaculatory duct, which passes through the prostate and enters the urethra. Therefore, prostatitis often combines with seminal vesiculitis. According to the course of the disease, it can be divided into acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis. Acute prostatitis is an acute prostatitis caused by bacterial infection.
So, what causes prostatitis? How should male friends reasonably avoid the harm of prostatitis? Let's first take a look at the four reasons that can easily trigger prostatitis.
1. Drinking too little water
The human body needs to replenish around 4-5 liters of water every day. In addition to the water content in food, it also needs to drink an additional 4-6 cups of water every day. Many white-collar workers or drivers often drink less than one or two cups of water a day to reduce the frequency of going to the bathroom. The human body lacks water, and urination decreases. At the same time, prostate secretions are difficult to excrete, increasing the burden on the prostate and easily inducing prostatitis.
2. Smoking and drinking
A study has found that men who smoke for a long time are five times more likely to develop prostate enlargement and chronic prostatitis after the age of 40 than non-smoking men. Smoking and alcohol can easily cause long-term or repeated congestion of the prostate gland. Among the various causes of prostatitis, congestion, especially passive congestion, is an important pathogenic factor.
3. Excessive indulgence
Moderate sexual activity can help discharge prostate secretions, but excessive frequency and intensity of sexual activity can easily cause harm to the human body. The prostate is forced to "overwork" and is in a congested state for a long time, which may cause prostatitis, as well as prostate hyperplasia or hypertrophy.
4. Adverse emotions
When there are emotions such as depression, anxiety, and tension, the secretion of the prostate gland will increase, and muscle contraction will increase. At this time, men will feel discomfort in the urethra, and urination will increase, which can easily lead to prostatitis over time.
