The prostate is located deep in the male pelvic cavity. Although its volume is not large, its function is not small. Male urethra, ejaculatory duct and other channels need to pass through the prostate, which plays an important role in male urination and semen transportation.

While powerful, it is also very easy to get sick and develop prostatitis. When prostatitis occurs, it will cause men to have abnormal urination, and the symptoms such as thin urinary line, weak urination, pain in urination and incomplete urination will occur; It may also cause unbearable pain in men's private parts, genitals, testes, and even the urethra in the body; What's more, some men have erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation due to abnormal prostate function.

Once these situations occur, men's mental health may also be affected, making them feel "no good". Therefore, patients with prostatitis need timely treatment. The traditional Chinese medicine diuretic anti-inflammatory pill has a good effect on the treatment of prostatitis.

5 behaviors will hurt the prostate. Don't be too indulgent

Whether the prostate is healthy or not has a lot to do with some habits in life. Doing these things for a long time will lead to prostate injury.

Often hold back urine: holding back urine will weaken the scouring effect of urine on the urethra, thus accelerating the speed of bacterial reproduction. Some bacteria will also retrograde along the urethra into the bladder, eventually inducing prostatitis. In addition, holding urine will also lead to male bladder overfilling, which is easy to cause prostatic hypertrophy.

Long term cycling: a University College London study found that long-term cycling increases the risk of prostatitis in men. The male prostate is located in a special position. Many times men are "sitting" on the prostate. Long term cycling will lead to excessive compression of the male prostate and easily induce prostate disease. The time of cycling should be well controlled, generally controlled at about 60 minutes. If the distance is more than an hour, it is best not to ride a bike.

Drinking and smoking: men who often drink alcohol have a three times higher risk of prostate disease than ordinary men. And smoking will cause adverse stimulation of the peripheral nerves of the prostate, which is easy to keep the prostate in a hyperemic state for a long time and easily cause disease.

Sedentary: the position of male prostate is relatively special. Long term sedentary will lead to compression of private parts and testes. Under the premise of poor blood circulation, it is very easy to induce inflammation, causing pain in perineum, bifurcated urine, incomplete urine, etc. In addition, sedentary people often forget to go to the toilet, and poor urination may also lead to urine reflux and induce prostatitis.

Excessive sexual Indulgence: Men's excessive sexual life will make the prostate hyperemia and prone to venous reflux obstruction. As bacteria stay in the male prostate for more time, the risk of prostatitis will also increase.

The prostate gland in men belongs to the existence of "pulling one hair and moving the whole body". Once there is a problem with the prostate, men's health will be greatly affected. Prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia and other diseases are very common in men.

To protect the prostate, keep three points in mind

First of all, we should maintain healthy living habits and pay attention to smoking cessation and alcohol restriction. At the same time, we should reduce the consumption of spicy and stimulating food, and try to give priority to light food;

Secondly, we should ensure that there is enough drinking water every day, and it is recommended that it should not be less than 1500ml. Drinking more water can promote urination, wash the urethra and prevent prostate disease;

Finally, it is suggested that men should not be sedentary every day and should get up and exercise every half an hour. At the same time, we should maintain a regular exercise habit. Exercise can accelerate metabolism and enhance immunity, which is very good for preventing diseases.

Prostate is very important for men. All men should learn to protect their prostate and avoid doing things that hurt it.
