What not to do for prostate health

If you want to protect your prostate, the pitfalls you should avoid are holding in your urine for a long time, being sedentary for a long time, having extreme sexual frequency, long-term highly stimulating diet, catching cold in your lower body, and going to informal institutions for so-called prostate care.

When I was sorting out outpatient cases a while ago, I met a 29-year-old back-end employee from an Internet company. He had been working on the Double 11 project for almost a month. He sat at his workstation for more than ten hours every day. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to go to the toilet.

Don't underestimate holding in your urine. When the bladder pressure is high, urine carrying metabolic waste and even bacteria can easily flow back into the glandular ducts of the prostate. It's like the dirty water that was originally intended to be discharged is poured back into the half-blocked sewer pipe. It can easily accumulate and become inflamed. If you have urethral inflammation, the infection will move up the urine and the disease will occur faster. What's more, he sat still all day long, and the position of his prostate was just stuck between the pelvis and the seat. The weight of his upper body pressed down, and the entire gland was squeezed and congested. The blood circulation was as slow as a jammed conveyor belt. Metabolic waste was blocked in the gland and could not be discharged. Inflammation was suppressed even if there was no inflammation. This is the reason why six or seven out of ten truck drivers who run long distances and clerks who sit in offices all year round suffer from prostate soreness.

There are also many pitfalls in diet. Of course, this does not mean that you can't eat spicy food or ice. If you are used to eating it, you won't feel uncomfortable. If you eat a small amount, it will be fine. I am afraid that you will already have signs of perineal swelling and tingling when urinating. If you eat red oil hot pot with cold beer, it will really add fuel to the fire of the already congested glands. Alcohol, in particular, is more irritating to the prostate than spicy food. Many people find it difficult to urinate and have a distended lower abdomen the next day after drinking alcohol. This is because the prostate has been "soaked" by alcohol and become edematous.

Another point that many people struggle with is whether sex life will damage the prostate. In the past, the old concept said that if you have prostate problems, you need to be completely abstinent to avoid congestion and aggravation of discomfort. Now there are also many clinical data showing that when chronic prostatitis is in the stable phase, regular ejaculation 1-2 times a week can bring out the inflammatory secretions accumulated in the gland ducts and recover faster. In fact, there is nothing wrong with both statements. If the pain is severe during an acute attack, the frequency must be controlled first. If there are no obvious symptoms at ordinary times, there is no need to abstain from sex, but go to extremes, either having sex frequently in a short period of time, or not ejaculating for several months. These two situations will really damage the prostate.

Another pitfall that many people are embarrassed to mention is that they secretly go to health centers for so-called "prostate maintenance." I met a 27-year-old young man before. He believed the massage that the merchant said could detoxify him. Formal prostate massage can only be done by a doctor. You need to put a finger cot into the rectum to find the right position, and control the intensity very carefully. The technicians in the health centers outside do not understand anatomy at all, and random massage will only cause problems.

In fact, the prostate is not that delicate. Don’t deliberately mess with it. Stand up and walk two more steps. Don’t hold in your urine. If you feel uncomfortable, go directly to the urology department of a regular hospital for a check-up. It is more reliable than buying thousands of dollars of skin care products or doing any health care programs.
