According to a survey data, about 35% of men over 35 have this kind of organ, while the incidence rate of men over 50 has soared to more than 40%. The threat to men's health is self-evident
Prostate is also a place where diseases are relatively concentrated, and the number of diseases makes other organs "ashamed". From inflammation to tumor, we are reluctant to let go of this "square inch land", such as prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia, prostate stones, prostate tuberculosis, prostate sarcoma, prostate cancer and so on, as well as dozens of diseases.
To make matters worse, because the prostate is an integral part of the sexual organs, once it gets sick, it can often implicate the "neighbors", causing a variety of male diseases and affecting sexual function to varying degrees. Therefore, medical experts juxtapose prostate diseases with infertility and sexual dysfunction, and call them "three swords" hanging over men's heads.
1. Prostatitis ranks first in the "black" list of prostate diseases. Prostatitis ranks first, accounting for about 10% ~ 15% of male diseases. This is not a single disease. According to the etiology, symptoms and results, it can be divided into acute prostatitis, chronic prostatitis, non-bacterial prostatitis and prostatic pain.
(1) Why do people become attached to prostatitis in middle age? ① Due to bad habits and hobbies, such as frequent sexual impulses, excessive sexual life, interrupted sexual intercourse and frequent masturbation of young and middle-aged men, the prostate is congested and even edematous. ② Long-distance cycling, horseback riding and sedentary, resulting in direct compression of perineum; (3) Regular drinking and eating irritating food are also factors that lead to repeated hyperemia and edema of prostate, and then induce prostatitis. (4) As for the infected lesions that flow from other parts of the body to the prostate through blood, there are not a few that cause inflammation. Such as urethral inflammation, can make bacteria reach the prostate through the urethra; Colonic inflammation or sexually transmitted diseases can also induce prostatitis.
(2) How do you know you have prostatitis? ① The micturition is not smooth in the past, and there are symptoms such as frequent micturition, urgency, dysuria, dribbling, incomplete micturition and weakness. ② There is a feeling of soreness and discomfort in the lower back or abdomen. ③ Insomnia, listlessness, etc.
Prostatitis is not a dangerous disease, but its impact on health should not be underestimated, especially on sexual function, which leads to reproductive dysfunction such as premature ejaculation, ejaculation pain, impotence, reverse ejaculation, abnormal semen liquefaction, vas deferens obstruction, hemospermia and even infertility.
Treatment countermeasures: ① Go to the hospital for diagnosis and take medication according to the doctor's advice. Commonly used drugs are ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin and compound sulfamethoxazole. At the same time, adjust lifestyle and change bad habits, such as drinking, eating irritating food and staying up late. And avoid sedentary, cycling and cycling for a long time. ② You can take a hot bath every night to accelerate inflammation. ③ In terms of sexual life, sexual intercourse should be forbidden during the acute inflammatory period, and all symptoms will disappear after 65,438+0 months, and sexual life can be gradually restored after the general illness is recovered; Patients with chronic prostatitis can live as husband and wife as long as they have no sexual dysfunction and no symptoms, but they can't indulge. ④ Choose an appropriate exercise mode.
2. Prostate hyperplasia-a "patent" for middle-aged and elderly men. If prostatitis "favors" young adults, then benign prostatic hyperplasia "favors" the elderly over 50 years old, which has almost become their "patent". According to the survey data, more than half of men over the age of 50 have different degrees of prostatic hyperplasia. Prostatic hyperplasia is closely related to age, and 40 years old is the turning point for men. According to the autopsy data of relevant experts, the lesions of benign prostatic hyperplasia began at around 40 years old, and symptoms such as dysuria began to appear at around 50 years old. Prostate hypertrophy is 20% in the population aged 5 1 ~ 60, 50% in the population aged 6 1 ~ 70 and 57. 1% in the population aged 7 1 ~ 80.
Why does a good prostate hyperplasia or even hypertrophy? The reason is not fully understood. Some experts believe that it is related to the accumulation of dihydrohigh ketone in the glands of elderly men, while others believe that it is the result of the change of hormone balance between men and women in the body. It is precisely because the cause is unclear that there is no exact prevention and treatment strategy at present.
When prostate hyperplasia reaches a certain level, symptoms will appear. Early micturition frequency increases, especially nocturia, with fine urine rheology, even like salivation, accompanied by lower abdominal discomfort, lumbosacral pain, decreased libido, impotence, premature ejaculation and other symptoms. Continued development is urinary incontinence, hematuria, urinary retention, involving renal function, renal hypertension and uremia.
Treatment countermeasures: patients with mild hyperplasia may wish to strengthen self-care, and can be treated with Chinese herbal medicines, such as 6 grams of Astragalus membranaceus decoction, 0/5 grams of ephedra root and clam powder, and 0/2 grams of raw rhubarb and Schizonepeta tenuifolia. At the same time, with external application, such as hot compress the lower abdomen with fried salt, one garlic, three gardenias, a little salt, mashed and applied under the navel, mashed and applied under the navel with snail, added with a little musk, and massaged by hand. In addition, you can massage Zhongfu, Liumen, Shenshu, Chise, Yinlingquan, Qihai, Guanyuan and Zhongji every day. Patients with moderate or above hyperplasia should see a doctor in time, and take medication (such as megestrol acetate, Gotterling, and Profen), surgery, low-invasive physical therapy (such as hyperthermia and acupuncture), prostate balloon dilatation, and prostate alloy stent. Which method to choose depends on the doctor's condition and constitution.
3. Prostate stones should not be underestimated. Men over 40 years old often suffer from small stones, the diameter is only 1mm, and the largest stones are 3-4cm in diameter, most of which are rice grains to pea grains, and the number can range from 1 to hundreds. It feels hard, brown or black, and there is generally no discomfort. If it is combined with prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia or urethral stricture, symptoms will appear. The existence of stones can be found by X-ray fluoroscopy or B-ultrasound examination and anal digital examination.
Where does the prostate come from? Most of them suffer from chronic prostatitis, which leads to the deposition of salts in urine in prostate tissue and the formation of stones, and stones often store bacteria and are continuously discharged into prostate tissue to induce inflammation, which is also the crux of chronic prostatitis.
Treatment countermeasures: people without obvious symptoms do not need treatment, so they may as well live in peace with them. Patients with chronic prostatitis should actively treat inflammation. In addition to the rational use of antibiotics, we should pay more attention to the drainage of prostatic fluid, regular prostate massage, and dredge the prostatic fluid blocked by stones. Prostatectomy can be performed for patients with prostate stones complicated with benign prostatic hyperplasia, with the purpose of relieving urinary tract obstruction and achieving the effect of removing stones.
4. Prostatic spasm is related to gender. Mr. Wang, who has never been confused, finally ushered in the wedding night. During the honeymoon, the husband and wife loved each other very much, and almost every night was "Furong spent the spring night in his tent". However, the good times did not last long. On the last night of his honeymoon, he suddenly felt a sharp pain at the root of his thigh while having sex with his wife. Since then, pain has occurred from time to time during ejaculation, which has cast a shadow over the life of husband and wife.
The male doctor in the hospital diagnosed Mr. Wang with prostate spasm. Because the prostate is congested during sexual life, it is possible to have a long-term spasm of the prostate. In addition, Mr. Wang has prostate hypertrophy, and his sex organs have been in a state of inhibition for many years. Frequent sexual life after marriage keeps the prostate in a state of congestion, and convulsions are inevitable.
Treatment countermeasures: control sexual intercourse and prevent excessive congestion of prostate. At the same time, quit smoking and drinking, eat less spicy food such as hot and sour, and don't take drugs casually.
5. Prostate cancer-a deadly killer. Prostate, like other organs, is also a sneak attack target of cancer, and its incidence is increasing day by day, which has become a big killer of middle-aged and elderly people. According to the investigation of relevant experts, about 40% of middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old suffer from different degrees of prostate cancer, but only 8% eventually develop prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is easily confused with prostatic hypertrophy, both of which are manifested as urinary tract obstruction, causing dysuria. It is very important to make an accurate distinction. Especially the early diagnosis of prostate cancer is more meaningful. The main methods of differentiation are symptom analysis, digital rectal examination, cystoscopy, B-ultrasound or CT scanning.
Treatment countermeasures: strive for early diagnosis and timely surgical resection of the lesion. According to the condition, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine are used.
6. There are tricks to care for the prostate. Like other organs, the strategy of "prevention is more important than cure" should be adopted to deal with prostate diseases, which can be started from the following aspects.
(1) Adjust the three-meal diet: eat more foods with prostate protection. Studies have shown that tomatoes (rich in antioxidant lycopene), bean products (containing phytoestrogen genistein that inhibits tumor growth), nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts and so on. , which contains a lot of vitamin E) and fish (containing fatty acids that regulate prostate metabolism) are worthy of this position. In addition, vegetables and fruits are also good foods to prevent prostate cancer, such as garlic, apples, black fungus and cauliflower.
(2) Drink plenty of water, don't hold your urine: Drinking plenty of water can increase urine volume and flush the urethra. One urination can remove 99% bacteria in urine, thus reducing the chance of prostate infection and preventing prostatitis.
(3) Abstinence: neither too frequent nor abstinence. Frequent sexual life will make the prostate in a state of congestion for a long time, which will become the bane of prostate hyperplasia and even hypertrophy. But abstinence is not good, it will cause fullness and discomfort, and it is also harmful to the prostate.
(4) Wash the external genitalia with water frequently: keep it clean to prevent bacterial sneak attack.
(5) Massage the lower abdomen: it is beneficial to the recovery of bladder function, promote bladder emptying and reduce residual urine volume. Practice is: supine or supine, with the right palm on the navel and the left palm on the back of the right hand, rub it clockwise in the small abdomen for 5 minutes, then rub it in the opposite direction for 5 minutes, and do it every morning and evening 1 time.
(6) Relaxation: Being happy is not only beneficial to physical and mental health, but also can relieve the tension of pelvic floor muscles.
(7) Cold prevention: It is cold in winter and spring. Pay attention to cold prevention and warmth to prevent colds. Don't sit on a cool stone for a long time in summer and autumn, because cold will increase the excitement of sympathetic nerve, which will lead to the increase of urethral internal pressure and reflux.
(8) Take more warm baths: it can relieve the tension between muscles and prostate and slow down the symptoms of discomfort. Bathing perineum with warm water 1 ~ 2 times a day can also achieve the same effect.
(9) Avoid friction: perineal friction will aggravate the symptoms of the prostate and make patients feel uncomfortable obviously. In order to prevent local harmful friction, you should ride bicycles less, and it is not advisable to ride bicycles or motorcycles for a long time or a long distance.
In fact, most men don't know how to properly maintain reproductive organs, so many misconceptions are often spread. If you want the prostate to be healthy forever, men should take good care of it in their daily lives.
