How to maintain prostate health

The core principle of maintaining the prostate is to reduce unnecessary stimulation and adjust living habits in accordance with its physiological state. There are not as many complicated procedures as those spread on the Internet, and there is no need to take any special health products.

I have been on the urology department triage desk for almost five years, and I have seen too many young people with prostate problems. Last month, there was a young man who worked as a game planner. He stayed up late for a week to work on a project, sat for 12 hours a day without getting up, and drank iced Coke and spicy duck neck. When he came, he was in pain so much that he could not straighten his waist. It was found that he had an acute prostatitis attack. Many people always think that they need to give the prostate something to supplement or do special care to call it maintenance. In fact, it is really unnecessary. It is just a small gland that looks like a chestnut. What they fear most is pressure, suffocation, and stimulation. For example, when you sit for a long time, all the weight of your upper body is pressed against the bottom of your pelvic cavity, which blocks the prostate tightly, causing poor blood circulation. Inflammation will naturally come to your doorstep. Usually, if you sit for forty to fifty minutes, stand up and walk two steps, and drink a glass of water and shake it for two minutes, it will be more effective than any massage.

There is no unified conclusion in the industry regarding the frequency of semen ejaculation. Some studies believe that regular semen ejaculation can reduce prostatic fluid accumulation and reduce the probability of inflammation. Some experts believe that as long as there is no discomfort afterward, such as perineal swelling or backache, it does not matter whether it is once a week or three or four times. There is no need to stick to the "standard frequency" mentioned on the Internet. On the contrary, excessive anxiety is more likely to induce functional discomfort.

Speaking of this, some people must want to ask, can the sitz bath and prostate massage methods uploaded online be used? In fact, it depends on the situation. For patients who have been diagnosed with chronic prostatitis, taking a sitz bath in warm water of about 40 degrees for 10 minutes every day can indeed relax local muscles and relieve swelling. However, long-term sitz bathing is not recommended for men who have not yet given birth. High temperature may affect sperm activity. ； As for prostate massage, it is not recommended for ordinary people to do it at home. Wrong technique will cause gland damage and congestion and edema. We have previously treated patients who had acute urinary retention by pressing blindly.

Usually, drink less alcohol that is too strong, and don't eat too many spicy and exciting things at once. These will congest the prostate. It's okay to eat something if you are craving for food every now and then. Just don't eat it every day. Also, don't hold in your urine all the time. An overly distended bladder will also compress the prostate. There is nothing you can do if you are caught in a traffic jam on the highway or can't go to the toilet during a meeting. Just don't hold it in on purpose.

In fact, the prostate is really not that delicate. You don’t have to worry about it. It is much more effective than buying health care products worth thousands of dollars. If you really have persistent frequent urination and perineal distension and pain, don’t scare yourself by searching for diseases on the Internet. Go to a regular hospital to register for a urology department. For a dozen yuan, you can do a digital examination or prostate fluid test first. Most problems can be easily solved.
