Sex life is related to prostate health

　　what is prostate

　　The prostate is male The accessory glands of the reproductive organs are located in the neck of the bladder, wrapped around the posterior urethra, and look like an inverted chestnut. The main function of the prostate is to secrete prostatic fluid, which together with the seminal vesicles, bulbourethral glands and other secretions constitute the liquid part of semen, and sperm The survival, activation, fertilization, etc. are all closely related. During intercourse, the prostate secretes a large amount of prostatic fluid, so it will cause congestion, edema, and muscle contraction. Under normal circumstances, it takes 24 to 48 hours to eliminate congestion and edema.

　　The relationship between prostate and sex

　　If men have excessive sexual intercourse, it is easy for their sexual organs to become repeatedly and persistently congested, leading to pathological changes.

　　Prolonged abstinence is also not advisable. On the one hand, once ejaculation Afterwards, the time for pelvic congestion to subside is 15 to 30 minutes; and if there is no orgasm, it will take 1 day for pelvic congestion to subside. If prostatic fluid cannot be discharged for a long time or there is no ejaculation for a long time, adult men will have a feeling of fullness and a desire to relieve physiological tension. If the desire cannot be satisfied, physiological impulses will often cause prostate congestion, causing and aggravating chronic prostatitis symptoms. On the other hand, when inflammation of the prostate occurs, there are many bacteria and inflammatory cells in the prostatic fluid. If sexual intercourse is not carried out, the prostatic fluid accumulates in the acini and cannot be discharged, and the bacteria continue to multiply. Although effective antibiotics are used, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory results.

　　In addition, holding in urine will overfill the bladder and compress the prostate. disease For patients, it is easy to cause urine reflux, causing harm to high-level organs (kidneys and ureters); spicy foods such as alcohol and chili peppers can stimulate the prostate and urethra, which can cause temporary perineal discomfort. It can also cause congestion and edema of the prostate and bladder neck, resulting in reduced prostate resistance. Therefore, it is best not to eat spicy food and drink excessive alcohol; at the same time, the trace element zinc can enhance the anti-infection effect of the prostate and should be taken in more. Seafood, lean meat, whole grains, legumes, white melon seeds, peanut kernels, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, etc. all contain a large amount of zinc. In addition, men should have more whole grains, nuts, vegetable oils, fresh vegetables and fruits on their tables to supplement various antioxidants.

　　Doctors also emphasized that diseases such as excessive foreskin and phimosis will cause moisture in the foreskin, which is conducive to bacterial reproduction. In some cases of excessive foreskin or phimosis, there is a stricture of the external urethral orifice. Pathogens in the urethra can easily retrogradely infect the prostate during urination. Living habits can also aggravate prostatitis symptoms. Sitting, cycling, and driving for long periods of time may compress the prostate and cause prostate congestion, leading to chronic prostatitis.
