Prostate Health Conditioning Methods

There is no universal formula for regulating prostate health. The core logic is to reduce long-term pressure on the gland, maintain regular metabolism of glandular fluid, and avoid inflammatory stimulation. The remaining methods must be selected based on your own age, symptom type, and living habits. Nine out of ten online content about "curing prostatitis with three actions" is deceptive.

I just received a consultation from a 27-year-old game original artist last week. He can sit at his desk for 14 hours a day. When he gets home from get off work, he can still play games for three hours while lying on a gaming chair. He has been urinating frequently for almost a month. He secretly bought a bunch of kidney-tonifying health products to eat. The more he eats, the more uncomfortable he becomes. , came here to check the B-ultrasound of the prostate. It was because the gland had been compressed and congested for a long time. No medicine was prescribed, so he was asked to replace the soft gaming chair with a hard cushion. He stood up every 40 minutes to get a glass of water and take two steps. He came back for a follow-up visit two weeks later, and 80% of the symptoms were gone. Speaking of this, someone must ask, would it be better for me to buy a prostate-specific cushion with a hollow center? In fact, the academic community has always had different opinions here: Many doctors in Western urology do not recommend that asymptomatic people use this kind of cushion for a long time. On the contrary, it will cause the pelvic floor muscles to be in an abnormal state of force for a long time, which will easily lead to cramping and pain. If you already have an obvious feeling of bloating, it is okay to use it temporarily for three or four weeks. If you have no symptoms, standing up and moving regularly is more effective than any other cushion.

When many people talk about conditioning, their first reaction is to "take something to supplement them." I have seen too many people hoarding a cupboard full of lycopene and pumpkin seed oil, and wondering whether they will have more frequent urination after half a year. Research in the field of nutrition has indeed confirmed that lycopene and zinc can help antioxidants in prostate epithelial cells and reduce the risk of hyperplasia, but only if you lack these in your daily diet - if you eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised prawns, and oysters every other day, supplementing them will completely cost you an IQ tax. On the contrary, regardless of whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, the first thing you are asked to avoid is more worthy of attention: Western medicine says to avoid alcohol and spicy food. These things will quickly congest the glands, and the inflammation that was once healed will directly return to its original state. I used to have a 38-year-old old patient whose chronic prostatitis had been stable for half a year. He drank three ounces of white wine at a class party, and that night he had urinary retention and went to the emergency room for a catheterization. ； Traditional Chinese medicine will also remind you not to drink too much cold or cold drinks, such as iced cola and iced milk tea. If you have a weak spleen and stomach and your frequent urination worsens after drinking, there is no need to insist on saying "Western medicine didn't say you can't drink it." Your own body experience is the most accurate.

There is another point that everyone is ashamed to discuss: How to calculate the correct frequency of ejaculation? The elders say that abstinence is necessary to nourish the glands, and the Internet says that semen must be discharged regularly to detoxify. The two sides are arguing, but in fact it is not so absolute at all. If you are currently in the acute inflammation stage and the pain is so severe that you cannot sit still, you must exercise restraint first. Congestion will only aggravate the symptoms. ； However, if you have chronic aseptic prostatitis and do not defecate once every three or four weeks, the glandular fluid will be blocked and it will easily breed inflammation. Generally, the frequency of 1 to 2 times a week, whether it is sexual intercourse or masturbation, is completely fine. Don't put any psychological burden on yourself to "deplete kidney energy", it is really not a problem. Oh, by the way, don’t believe in the “prostate massage and detoxification” program at the health center on the street. Many masseuses have never learned anatomy, and they don’t know how to use it. I’ve seen several people who injured their glands by pressing on them. If you really want a massage, go to the urology department of a regular hospital and see a doctor. Don’t pay the IQ tax.

As for exercise, don’t think that walking 10,000 steps a day is enough. Ordinary walking can actually only improve the blood circulation of the prostate very little. On the contrary, light exercise that requires force from the crotch is more effective, such as breaststroke. If you swim for half an hour each time, the opening and closing of the crotch can drive blood circulation in the pelvic floor, which is much more effective than checking the number of steps in your circle of friends. Some people say that Kegel exercises can improve it. Here is a reminder: If you have pelvic floor muscle spasm, the more you do contraction Kegels, the more painful it will be. It is better to start with glute bridges and freehand squats. Squat until your thighs are parallel to the ground each time. Do a group of 10, and do two or three groups a day. Don’t do too many heavy squats, which will cause congestion in the pelvic cavity and have the opposite effect. Oh, by the way, there is another small detail that many people overlook: don’t hold in your urine, especially when you are driving long distances or playing games to rank up. If you hold it in until your bladder swells and directly presses against your prostate, it will be fine once or twice. If you do this all year round, it will be strange if there are no problems.

One last thing to say, many people are scared to death when they have frequent urination and urgent urination, fearing that they may have hyperplasia or cancer. In fact, 90% of prostate problems are caused by bad living habits, just like a cold, and they can be cured by adjustments. If you really feel uncomfortable, go to the hospital for a prostate fluid routine and B-ultrasound first, and don't take antibiotics blindly - 80% of chronic prostatitis is sterile, and taking antibiotics is of no use, but will disrupt the flora in the body. To put it bluntly, the prostate is a "delicate little gland". If you don't toss it every day, sit less, drink less cold and spicy food, and don't hold it in too hard, it will basically not cause trouble for you.
