Prostate Health Methods

Don’t take supplements blindly, use less pressure, ejaculate regularly, and go to a regular hospital for check-ups if you feel unwell. This is more effective than buying any sky-high price maintenance products.

I have been in the urology clinic for almost 8 years and have seen too many patients who complicated simple problems. Not long ago, there was a 32-year-old Internet programmer who saved up to 3,000 yuan to buy imported prostate care soft capsules. After taking it for almost a month, he still had frequent urination and urgency. When he sat down for consultation, he did not dare to touch his buttocks. When I asked him, I found out that he sat for 12 hours a day without moving when he was working on a project. He occasionally got up to get a glass of water. The pants he bought were slim-fitting and tightened tightly. In this case, no matter how many health products he took, he would have to pay IQ tax to the merchants.

As for avoiding compression, doctors in different fields actually give slightly different advice. The general advice of western urologists is not to sit still for more than 40 minutes at a time. It is useful to get up and walk for two minutes to get a glass of water or go to the toilet. Try to cross your legs as little as possible and wear loose pants. It is best not to ride a narrow-seat road bike for more than half an hour. Many people feel numbness in the perineum after riding. This is a sign that the prostate is compressed to the point of ischemia. Don’t take it seriously. Doctors in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Andrology recommend doing some daily levator exercises, which are meant to endure the contraction of the muscles when defecating. You don’t need to find time to do it. You can do it when you are fishing at work or waiting in line to buy food. A total of 10 minutes a day can promote blood circulation in the perineum. I usually do two sets of exercises when I sit on the night shift for a long time, which can really relieve the feeling of bloating.

What many people struggle with most is the frequency of ejaculation. There is a lot of quarrel on the Internet. Some people say that holding it back nourishes the kidneys, while others say that more ejaculation can "detoxify" the prostate. In fact, there is no unified standard answer at all. What evidence-based medicine can currently confirm is that for men aged 20 to 50, the frequency of ejaculation from 1 to 3 times a week (whether during intercourse or masturbation) is within the safe range. The core standard is that you don’t feel sore in the back or weak in energy when you wake up the next day. Two months ago, there was a 28-year-old young man. He heard on the Internet that abstinence can "preserve vitality." He suppressed it for more than three months. When he came for a check-up, the white blood cells in the prostate fluid were ridiculously high. It was because the glandular ducts were blocked for a long time and he had aseptic inflammation; of course, it is not more frequent. The better. Last week, there was a 20-year-old college student who ejaculated twice a day for a week. His prostate was swollen to the point that it was larger than normal. He had to run to the toilet in half an hour. This kind of congestive edema will disappear on its own after three or four days of rest, without taking medicine at all.

If you really experience frequent urination, urgent urination, perineal swelling, or occasional urinary bifurcation, don't panic, let alone diagnose "prostatitis" by yourself based on the symptoms online. Go to a regular hospital for a urinary tract B-ultrasound plus prostate fluid routine. You can find out whether there is any problem for a few dozen yuan. Many people experience bifurcated urine when urinating in the morning or just after sexual intercourse. In fact, it is a temporary adhesion of the urethral opening. It is not a disease at all and does not need to be treated blindly. If inflammation is really detected, don’t take medicine randomly: Antibiotics are of no use for sterile prostatitis, but will disrupt the flora in the body. When the pain is severe, Western medicine will usually prescribe alpha-blockers to relieve symptoms. Traditional Chinese medicine may combine some oral medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, or let you take a warm sitz bath - soaking in warm water around 40 degrees for 10 minutes is particularly effective in relieving the feeling of bloating, but friends who want to have children should not try it. High temperature will affect sperm motility, which is a hard taboo.

As for health products such as lycopene and pumpkin seed oil that are so popular on the Internet, to put it bluntly, they are hardest hit by the IQ tax. Existing research only proves that long-term consumption of fresh tomatoes (preferably cooked, as lycopene is better absorbed) may reduce the risk of prostate cancer. It does not mean that you will not get it if you eat it. It is okay to use some pumpkin seed oil for cooking, but it is purely overthinking to expect that purified soft capsules can cure prostate hyperplasia and prostatitis.

To be honest, at least one-third of the chronic prostatitis patients I have come into contact with have symptoms caused by themselves. The prostate itself is a very sensitive organ. The more anxious you are and the more you watch yourself every day to see if you have frequent urination, the more obvious the symptoms will be. Instead, relax and stay up less late, eat less spicy food and drink less, and don’t always search for related symptoms. If you find the right one, a lot of discomfort will disappear on its own. There is really no need to think about this matter too complicated. Eat well and move well, it will work better than any other maintenance method.
