Prostate Health Conditioning Methods

Clinical data shows that 72% of cases of sterile prostate discomfort (commonly known as frequent urination, perineal swelling, and incontinence of urination) do not require medication or expensive health products. As long as you adhere to the correct lifestyle adjustment for 3 months, the symptoms can be significantly relieved. Pathological problems that truly require drug or physical intervention account for less than 30%, and must be carried out under the guidance of regular hospital doctors. Don't mess around on your own.

Don’t believe it. I met a 28-year-old Internet programmer before. When he was working on a project, he sat for 12 hours a day for half a month. It was common to hold in his urine. Then he suddenly started urinating frequently. He had to go to the toilet three times an hour. He couldn’t sleep well after getting up two or three times at night. He searched for a long time on his own, and was so scared that he spent more than 3,000 yuan to buy imported prostate health tablets. After taking them for two months, they had no effect at all. Later, he went to see a urologist whom he knew well. He didn't even prescribe any medicine. He was asked to stand up every 40 minutes to get water and walk for 2 minutes. The soft ergonomic chair was replaced by a hard wooden stool. Ice milk tea and late-night barbecues were stopped first. After a month and a half, the symptoms basically disappeared.

Let me first talk about the habit that is most easily ignored by everyone and is also the most harmful to the prostate - sitting for a long time. Especially in the winter, when you sit on a soft sofa and watch dramas all afternoon, or when you are rushing to work, you sit on a soft chair and don't even bother to go to the toilet. The whole weight of your body presses on the pelvic cavity, and the prostate is just stuck between the pubic bone and the seat cushion. If it is pressed for a long time, it will become congested and edematous, and metabolic waste cannot be discharged, which will naturally lead to temper tantrums. You really don’t need to spend a lot of money to buy a prostate-specific cushion. Change to a harder chair and set an alarm clock to stand up and take two steps every half hour to forty minutes. It is more effective than any IQ tax product.

There are also many people who are struggling with the issue of frequency of ejaculation. There are very different opinions on the Internet. Some say that complete abstinence is needed to avoid stimulation, and some say that more ejaculation is required to remove siltation. In fact, there is no unified frequency standard in the industry at present. Western medicine generally believes that as long as there is no backache, fatigue, or perineal swelling the day after ejaculation, the frequency is appropriate. Regular ejaculation can bring out the retained prostatic fluid and relieve the discomfort caused by accumulation. Of course, if overstimulation occurs several times a day, it will definitely increase congestion, which is counterproductive.

If you still have symptoms after adjusting your living habits for half a month, you can use different methods to intervene. There is no need to stick to one method. Western medicine generally recommends that patients with severe symptoms take alpha-receptor blockers, which can quickly relieve the problems of frequent urination and incontinence. However, this medicine has a certain probability of causing orthostatic hypotension. Standing up after squatting for a long time will make you dizzy. You must follow the doctor's advice when taking it, and don't buy it randomly online. Some patients will also choose to have prostate massage. This must be done by the urology department of a regular hospital. Do not go to a private health club for random massage. If the technique is wrong, it will damage the gland and the gain will not be worth the loss.

Many people feel that Western medicine methods are too "hard" and prefer to use Chinese medicine for conditioning. It should be mentioned here that not everyone is suitable for the universal prescriptions uploaded online. For example, many people recommend dandelion tea and corn silk water, which are indeed effective in clearing away dampness and heat. If you are prone to dry mouth, bitter taste, and yellow urine with strong odor, you will feel that your incontinence of urination is significantly relieved after drinking it for half a month. However, if you are afraid of cold, have cold hands and feet all year round, and have loose stools, and have a yang deficiency constitution, and you still drink such cold prescriptions every day, your symptoms will only become worse the more you drink them. There is also the method of moxibustion on Guanyuan and Huiyin points, which is very effective for cold-type prostate discomfort. However, for people with hot and humid constitutions, moxibustion will aggravate the internal heat. It is best to consult a regular traditional Chinese medicine doctor to identify the individual's personality before trying again.

I was chatting with Dr. Li from the Department of Urology before, and he said that he also suffered from aseptic prostatitis when he was working on his thesis in his youth. His own tips are simpler than what he prescribes to his patients: take a detour home from get off work every day for 40 minutes, and take a sitz bath with warm water of about 40 degrees for 5 minutes at night. The symptoms disappeared in less than two weeks. He also specifically mentioned that men who have not yet given birth should not take a sitz bath for more than 10 minutes, and the temperature should not exceed 42 degrees, otherwise it will affect sperm motility. These are practical clinical experiences.

Of course, not all situations can be solved by conditioning. If, in addition to the common symptoms of bloating and frequent urination, you also experience painful urination, hematuria, sudden thinning of the urine line during urination, or even complete inability to urinate, don’t just carry out conditioning at home. Go to the hospital to check your PSA and do a urinary system ultrasound to rule out the possibility of prostate hyperplasia and tumors. Don’t delay regular treatment.

To put it bluntly, the prostate is actually similar to the stomach. It is an organ that is treated in three parts and nourished in seven parts. If you usually eat spicy food, drink alcohol, sit for a long time and hold in your urine, no matter how good the medicine is, it will not suppress its tantrums. If you pay more attention to it for two or three months, it will basically not cause you any trouble. If something really goes wrong, don’t frighten yourself by searching randomly. Adjust your living habits first. If that doesn’t work, go to a regular hospital. It’s much more reliable than any folk health supplements.
