How should men take care of their glands in autumn?

Phenomenon: Autumn wind blows out "glandular" disease

A few days after the long holiday, because prostatitis urinary system disease The number of patients visiting the hospital has surged. Doctors analyze that this is related to the long holiday period. male It is related to uncontrolled drinking, smoking, staying up late, eating spicy food, etc. In addition, the high incidence of prostatitis in autumn is also closely related to weather factors.

There are obvious seasonal factors in the incidence of prostate disease. As the weather turns cooler, the prostate glands shrink and the glandular ducts and blood vessels expand, causing chronic congestion, which increases the pressure within the urethra and can cause reflux in severe cases. Over time, the glands also undergo degenerative changes, further aggravating the blood circulation disorder in the glands, causing blood stasis and increasing the chance of bacterial retention. Changes in the condition of the urethra will aggravate the accumulation of prostatic fluid, leading to the onset of prostate disease and symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, perineal and testicular pain.

In addition, the climate in autumn is relatively dry, the human body urinates less, and the urethra cannot be flushed normally, which increases the incidence of prostate diseases.

Prevent drinking more water and keeping warm

Despite repeated reminders, many men still don’t pay much attention to drinking water. After the weather gets colder, many people drink less water, which has adverse effects on the prostate and other organs. Most people just need to drink 2000ml of water every day. This amount of water drinking can achieve the purpose of flushing the urethra, promoting the discharge of prostate secretions, and preventing prostate infection through urination.

In autumn, one thing to pay special attention to is local warmth. Some men think they are in good health and are not afraid of the cold, while others tend to wear less clothes in pursuit of fashion and neglect to keep their prostate warm, which can easily induce prostate disease or aggravate the original condition. Maintaining a warm local environment can reduce prostate pressure and smooth prostate drainage. Keeping warm can also reduce muscle tissue contraction and restore prostate congestion and edema.

In addition, don’t “hold it in” when you have an urgent need to urinate. When you have an urgent need to urinate, just endure it as long as you can. This can easily cause urinary reflux and cause harm to high-level organs (kidneys and ureters). ； It is best to quit smoking, drinking, and eating chili peppers. Foods such as wine, chili peppers, and smoking all have a stimulating effect on the prostate and urethra, resulting in reduced prostate resistance.

Men can enhance the anti-infection ability of the prostate by promptly supplementing their diet with trace element zinc.

Don’t just give up on treatment when it’s good”

Many people know that the most distressing thing about prostate disease is that it is difficult to heal. In fact, if treated properly, prostate disease is not difficult to cure. Since the symptoms of prostatitis are diverse and not directly proportional to the severity of the inflammation, the symptoms are relatively complex. After a period of treatment, some patients with prostatitis feel that there is no obvious discomfort and stop taking medication on their own. But not long after, prostatitis symptoms came back with a vengeance.

This is caused by the patient stopping medication prematurely before his prostatitis is truly cured. This will not only increase the patient's mental burden, but also easily increase bacterial resistance, making subsequent treatment more difficult.

Prostate disease generally requires treatment for 1 to 3 months, and after the effect appears, the treatment must be continued for a period of time to consolidate it, and then stop when no improvement is seen. Some patients have clinical End treatment when symptoms are significantly reduced or disappeared. In fact, the patient's subjective feeling is not consistent with the objective examination, and the chance of recurrence is very high. If you are diagnosed with prostatitis, you must treat it correctly and treat it actively. The key to effectively treating prostatitis is not to "just give up".
