      Prostate clinic volume surges by 40% in winter

      With the advent of winter, the incidence of prostate and its complications is on the rise. Many prostate disease patients have come to their homes again with long-lost urinary frequency and urgency, and the number of prostate disease outpatients has also increased dramatically.

      Experts say that winter is the peak season for prostate diseases. Recently, the number of prostate disease outpatient clinics has increased by 40%. At the same time, ED patients have also shown an increasing trend. This is related to the low temperature of the sexual environment in winter and the lack of attention to local warmth. According to statistics, 60% of patients with prostate disease worsen or have recurring disease in winter.

      Frequent waking up at night may be caused by the prostate”

      Many people think that "more urination in cold weather" is a normal phenomenon, but if the symptoms of frequent urination and urgency are severe, it may be prostate disease.

      Experts explain that cold weather can easily irritate the bladder and reduce sweating, so you will naturally urinate more in winter. Recently, the number of middle-aged and elderly patients with prostate diseases, especially those with prostatic hyperplasia, has increased. In addition to being stimulated by cold, it is also related to people's daily drinking and improper diet. For example, in summer urology outpatient clinics are dominated by kidney stone patients, but in winter, prostate patients are likely to account for half of the total. This has a certain relationship with seasonal changes.

      Experts also point out that cold weather makes sympathetic nerve The increased excitability makes the prostate sensitive to glandular contraction, aggravating the accumulation of prostatic fluid.

      Therefore, the colder the weather, the more men must pay attention to protecting their prostate.

      Moderate sex life

      Frequent sexual intercourse can keep the prostate in a congested state for a long time, causing or aggravating prostate enlargement.

      Therefore, especially in youth when sexual desire is relatively strong, attention should be paid to moderate sexual life, to avoid repeated congestion of the prostate, and to give the prostate sufficient time to recover and rest.

      Clean the perineum

      Men's scrotum is highly elastic and secretes more sweat. In addition, the vagina is poorly ventilated, which easily harbors dirt and evil people and practices, and local bacteria often take advantage of this weakness. This will lead to prostatitis , prostatic hypertrophy, and decreased male sexual function. Therefore, persistence is an important part of preventing prostatitis.

      Pay attention to keeping warm and cold

      Although it is now a warm winter, the temperature is low in the morning and evening, so you should pay attention to keeping warm from the cold, because cold can enhance the excitement of the sympathetic nerves, which can increase the pressure in the urethra and cause reflux. The prostate duct also shrinks and causes excretion disorders, resulting in congestion, which can cause symptoms to repeat or worsen.

      self massage

      Male friends can do self-massage before going to bed to achieve health care purposes. The operation is as follows: Lie on your back, straighten your left foot, place your left hand on the Shenque point (navel), use the middle finger, index finger, and ring finger to rotate, and at the same time use the three fingers of the right hand to place the perineal point to rotate and massage for a total of 100 times. The massage accelerates the blood circulation in the perineum, which plays the role of anti-inflammation, pain relief and swelling.

      Andrology experts remind male friends that the above preventive maintenance methods should start from youth. In addition, we must develop regular and scientific living habits in our daily lives. engage in appropriate physical activity exercise To transfer the psychological burden of chronic prostatitis, eliminate anxiety and prevent mental symptoms. Life should be regular and a balance between work and rest. Don’t sit for too long to avoid affecting the blood circulation in the vagina ; Don’t ride too long ; Married life should be regular.
