Written by Amanda Chou
Prostatitis frequently occurs in men under the age of 50. Most of them are related to frequent sexual life, frequent masturbation and pathogen infection. It can lead to urgent urination, frequent urination, pelvic and sacral pain and sexual dysfunction.
In clinical practice, quinolones are usually used to treat bacterial prostatitis to kill bacteria. But for nonbacterial prostatitis, which is more common in prostatitis, the choice of antibiotics is often not ideal. Herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill of Dr. Lee's TCM Clinic can penetrate the prostate so that the efficacy can reach the affected area, and fundamentally eliminate the cause of disease.
In addition to medication, we can learn about the nine self therapies in daily life.
1. Keep a good attitude
Nowadays, the fast pace of life and work and study pressure makes many people suffer significant mental stress. If they are not relieved for a long time, their metabolism and blood circulation ability will be affected.
Moreover, long-term bad mentality and pressure will increase the probability of prostate enlargement. When life pressure is reduced, the related symptoms of chronic prostatitis will be relieved.
2. Drink more water
The human prostate surrounds the root of the urethra. If the urine concentration is too high, it will stimulate the prostate, which will damage the prostate and increase prostatitis incidence.
Drinking more water can increase urination, dilute urine concentration, reduce the stimulation of the prostate. Also, drinking more water can accelerate blood filtration, which is good for the body.
3. Stay away from alcohol and spicy food
This kind of food is easy to stimulate the human body, affects normal metabolism, stimulates the prostate, which may cause prostatitis. Besides, it can also cause other body diseases, such as liver disease, gastrointestinal disease, cardiovascular disease, etc.
4. Take a warm bath
A warm water bath can relieve prostatitis symptoms and the tension of the human body. Simultaneously, a warm water bath can also promote blood circulation, which is conducive to health.
5. Control sex
Nowadays, young people have a full understanding of sex. But frequent sexual life will lead to the prostate in a congestive state, leading to prostate hypertrophy, and eventually may lead to prostatitis. However, abstinence for a long time can also cause prostate discomforts. Moderate sexual life is conducive to prostate health.
6. Don't hold your urine
Due to specific jobs, many people often hold urine, such as nurses, police, assembly line workers, drivers and high-altitude operators. However, holding urine for a long time will damage the reproductive system, endanger the health of the prostate and kidney, and increase prostatitis incidence. To avoid injury to the prostate, men should be ready to urinate in advance when engaged in work.
7. Pay attention to personal hygiene
Men sweat more, poor ventilation of the pudenda, so that bacteria are easy to breed, leading to prostatitis and reproductive system diseases. Therefore, pay more attention to personal hygiene to prevent and alleviate prostatitis is incredibly essential. Men should choose loose underwear, have a frequent bath, change underwear, clean the vulva before and after the sex.
8. Keep warm
In daily life, men should pay attention to keep warm, especially in winter. Cold can increase the excitability of the sympathetic nerve in the human body, which will lead to the increase of internal pressure of the male urethra, cause countercurrent, stimulate the prostate, and then damage the health of the prostate and cause prostatitis.
9. Avoid perineal frictio
Riding bicycles or motorcycles will cause pressure on the prostate, leading to prostate congestion, leading to prostatitis. At the same time, the perineum friction in cycling will aggravate the symptoms of prostatitis. In daily life, men need to pay attention to reduce riding time and avoid rubbing the perineum for a long time.
Prostatitis is a common male disease, affecting normal urination and sexual life. However, unclear etiology makes the treatment more difficult, so daily protection is essential. The above nine self therapies can relieve the symptoms of prostatitis and prevent the disease. Men who have prostatitis may as well try it.
