Prostatitis is one of the common reproductive system diseases in men. Prostatitis is prone to relapse and is not easily cured completely. Therefore, it is even more important to take preventive measures. To reduce the chance of developing prostatitis, the following precautions should be taken.
Preventive measures for prostatitis
1. In daily life, pay attention to whether the foreskin is too long. If the foreskin is too long, circumcision should be performed as soon as possible to avoid bacteria hiding in the foreskin causing infection.
2. Pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the perineal area clean, urinate and clean the external genitalia in a timely manner after each sexual activity.
3. If infection occurs in other parts of the body, it should be treated promptly to prevent bacteria from entering the prostate through the blood.
4. Establish a correct sexual concept, and live a moderately married life. Avoid excessive sexual activity that can cause prostate congestion, but also avoid long-term abstinence.
5. Drink plenty of water in daily life, avoid holding urine, and keep the urinary tract smooth. This helps the normal discharge of prostate secretions.
6. Daily attention should be paid to increasing or decreasing clothing, and less tight pants and jeans should be worn. It is best to choose cotton underwear with good ventilation.
7. Avoid sitting and driving for long periods of time to avoid squeezing the prostate and causing poor blood flow.
8. Develop good living habits and quit smoking and drinking.
9. Eat less greasy and fried foods in your daily diet. You can eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and other foods. You can also eat more apples with high zinc content, which is very helpful for preventing prostatitis.
10. Proper exercise, such as shadowboxing and walking, can improve the blood circulation of prostate tissue and enhance the body's immune system.
