There are five key points to protect prostate health

How should men take care of their own unique gonadal organ - prostate? It is important for male friends to know this. What should we pay attention to when protecting the prostate? Here are five key points for prostate protection.

1. Drink more water every day.

Flush the urethra through urination, promote the discharge of prostate secretion, and prevent prostate infection. Too little water will make urine concentrate and reduce the number of urination, which will have extremely adverse effects on the prostate, kidney, bladder and other organs.

2. Don't hold your breath.

Holding urine will make the bladder overfilled and compress the prostate. After the cold weather, many people are unwilling to get up at night to urinate, so they are forced to hold back, but they do not know that doing so may lead to dysuria and urinary retention.

3. Quit alcohol and spicy food.

Tobacco, alcohol and spicy food can stimulate the prostate and urethra, and also cause congestion and edema in the prostate and bladder neck.

4. Local heat preservation should be in place.

Cold increases the excitability of sympathetic nerve, which leads to contraction of prostate gland, expansion of gland tube and blood vessel, and hyperemia. Therefore, it is necessary to add clothes in time according to the weather changes, and pay attention to local warming to protect the prostate.

5. Try not to sit too long.

Avoid playing mahjong, playing poker, watching TV, etc. for a long time. Desk workers or those who need to take a long-distance bus should get up and exercise their muscles and bones at regular intervals. In addition, cycling and other cross-riding actions will cause pressure on the prostate and lead to prostate congestion. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid cycling for a long time.
