Excessive Alcohol Can Induce and Aggravate Prostatitis

Why can long-term excessive alcohol induce prostatitis? Prostatitis is a common male urinary system disease. Male long-term or excessive drinking will cause prostate damage and prostatitis. So, how does long-term excessive drinking induce and aggravate prostatitis?

Don't "get drunk" your prostate

During the holiday, Peter had dinner almost every day. In the middle of the night, Peter was awakened by urine in his sleep, so he got up and went to the bathroom to relieve himself. Unexpectedly, he couldn't urinate. His stomach was so swollen that even his perineum and testicles felt swollen. After the doctor checked his condition, it turned out that Peter had "drunk" his prostate and had urinary retention.

According to the doctor, many people get sick after drinking every year. Prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia accounted for 80% of the patients. And the number of chronic prostatitis caused by drinking and socializing is also significant.

Experts remind men with prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia to pay attention when drinking freely. Among the many patients with prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia who come to the hospital every year, the number of new patients is more than usual, and the number of relapsed old patients accounts for a large proportion. When asking for medical history, almost all patients were related to alcohol.

In this regard, the doctor explained that after drinking, the alcohol is slowly absorbed and flows to all parts of the body after entering the blood. The prostate is a sensitive organ to alcohol. After being stimulated by alcohol, the prostate gland will also be excited. Local capillaries will rapidly expand and congest, resulting in increased exudation of liquid between cell tissues and edema of cells. The higher the concentration of alcohol in the blood, the heavier the swelling of the prostate.

Patients with chronic prostatic inflammation or hyperplasia usually have urethral compression. For example, urine rheology slowly becomes thinner when urine passes through the urethra and the urine line forks. The prostate "drunk" will occupy more urethral space, which will undoubtedly make things worse and cause difficulty in urination. When the pressure is severe, acute urinary retention will occur, and the urine will not drop out.

In addition, the swollen prostate also compresses and pulls the nerve fiber endings distributed in the prostate capsule and around the prostate, resulting in swelling pain in the lower abdomen and perineum, testicular stretch-like pain, etc.

Once urine retention occurs, if you want to make the "drunken" fat prostate thin, you can use a relatively simple method: a hot water sitz bath. Soak twice a day for more than half an hour each time. It can promote local exudate absorption and accelerate the swollen prostate's regression.

In addition, you can take a Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, which can clear away heat, detoxify, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis to eliminate discomfort symptoms. Therefore, most men should always care about their prostate health. Especially those patients with prostate diseases, it is best to avoid alcohol and not bring trouble to the prostate because of a moment of drinking.

Alcohol consumption and prostate disease

The main components of wine are alcohol and water. Many substances, such as vitamins, sugar, amino acids, and electrolytes, also benefit the human body. But, many harmful substances, such as methanol, aldehyde, lead, etc.

A small amount of alcohol, such as red wine and beer, can obtain nutrition and have mild diuretic and blood activating effects. It is not only beneficial to improve the symptoms of patients with prostatic hypertrophy but also has a specific health care effect on the human body.

Heavy drinking will accelerate blood circulation, aggravate inflammation, and even spread. Patients with prostatitis, especially acute prostatitis, should abstain from alcohol. In addition, drinking a lot of alcohol, the toxin in the wine accumulates, destroying the human body's immune system, reducing the human body's defense function, and bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms can invade, causing infection or recurrence of old diseases.

For gonads, alcohol is a powerful toxin. Drinking a large amount of alcohol will make male gonads poisoned and cause sexual dysfunction, impotence, and infertility. The treatment itself has become difficult for patients with sexual dysfunction caused by chronic prostatitis. If they drink a lot of alcohol, it will undoubtedly make the treatment more difficult.

Reminder

The human body has a solid ability to deal with alcohol, and the brain will slowly recover from drunkenness after a few hours. However, the prostate is congested quickly and heals slowly. Generally, it takes 3 to 5 days to recover gradually. The tissue fluid exuded from the prostate needs a long resorption process. It can be said that the prostate is the biggest victim of alcohol. Therefore, patients should drink as little as possible, and it is best not to drink.
