Prostatic hyperplasia is a kind of andrology disease with high incidence rate, especially for men over 50 years old. After the age of 65, more than half of the general male population will suffer from prostate enlargement. However, the relative treatment difficulty of this disease is not very high. Generally, as long as the medication is scientifically used according to the doctor's requirements, the condition can be controlled in a short period of time. In addition to daily medication, daily care is also very important. Today, let's learn together how to take care of prostate hyperplasia patients in their daily lives? How to prevent prostate hyperplasia?
1、 Precautions for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia
1. Avoid drinking tea or coffee frequently: Tea and coffee contain certain diuretic ingredients, which have a certain stimulating effect on the prostate. Long term consumption can have an impact on the prostate and worsen the condition. It is recommended that people with such habits replace tea and coffee with warm water to develop the habit of drinking warm water. Not only can it improve the metabolic capacity of cells, but it can also promote diuresis, allowing inflammatory factors to be excreted with urine.
2. Long term sitting: Prolonged sitting can compress the pelvic cavity and also affect the prostate, making it easy to experience congestion symptoms. For patients with pre-existing prostate hyperplasia, prolonged sitting can worsen the symptoms. Regular exercise is more conducive to the elimination of inflammation through urine.
3. Long term holding of urine: Many men may experience long-term holding of urine due to daily work and life reasons. Holding of urine can cause the bladder to be excessively filled for a long time, which can compress the prostate and lead to more severe prostate hyperplasia in patients. Therefore, patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia must remember to urinate in a timely manner, and drink plenty of water on a daily basis. Increasing urine output is beneficial for relieving inflammation.
4. Frequent sexual activity: Many young men have relatively good physical fitness, so their sexual desire is relatively strong, leading to uncontrolled sexual activity. Regular sexual activity can help the prostate eliminate inflammatory factors. Excessive sexual activity can lead to long-term congestion of the prostate, which not only does not help the condition, but also exacerbates the inflammation without relief. So, it is necessary to arrange the frequency of sexual activity reasonably, usually 1-2 times a week. For older patients, the frequency should be reduced.
5. Quit smoking: If patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia have the habit of smoking, they must quit smoking in a timely manner after getting sick. Because the nicotine contained in cigarettes can affect many organs in the body, such as the kidneys, liver, prostate, etc. If a patient continues to smoke after falling ill, it may worsen the condition and affect the effectiveness of treatment.
2、 How to prevent prostate hyperplasia
1. Develop good eating habits: quitting smoking and drinking is very important. At the same time, it is important to avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods as much as possible. If consumed for a long time, it will increase the stimulation of the prostate and increase the probability of prostate disease. We should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
Reduce the consumption of coffee and tea to prevent symptoms such as increased urine output, frequent urination, and urgency.
2. Develop good drinking habits: Drink plenty of water appropriately. Urination can increase metabolism in the body and help flush the urethra, which has a certain effect on preventing prostate hyperplasia. At the same time, there is also the benefit of reducing blood viscosity, and generally maintaining a daily water intake of 1.5L-2L is the most appropriate.
Be careful not to drink water before bedtime to prevent excessive nocturia from affecting sleep.
3. Moderate exercise: Exercise can increase one's immune system, and if you want to prevent prostate hyperplasia, exercise is also very important. Pay attention to the intensity of exercise, which does not need to be too strong and is suitable for oneself. At the same time, avoid prolonged sitting to prevent affecting the blood circulation in the perineum.
4. Keep warm: When changing seasons or cooling down, pay attention to keeping yourself warm. The prostate gland tends to prefer high temperatures, and if it is too cold, it can worsen the condition. At the same time, it is important to avoid the occurrence of colds and fever. Once a cold and fever occur, it can lead to a weakened immune system and increase the possibility of infection and inflammation.
5. Do not hold urine: Do not hold urine for a long time to prevent the prostate from being affected by bladder filling. Be sure to urinate as soon as possible.
6. Regular physical examination: It is necessary to develop the habit of regular physical examination, ensure 1-2 times a year, achieve early detection and treatment, and prevent the condition from worsening.
