1, prostate health care method
1, go to the hospital for screening.
It is suggested that at the age of 50, you should go to the hospital for rectal examination and prostate antigen examination every year. If you have a family history of prostate cancer, you should start these tests at the age of 40.
2. Pay attention to the intake of beans.
The mortality rate of prostate cancer in Japanese men is five times lower than that in American men. It is generally believed that their diet is mostly low-fat and high-fiber food. Bean food is very common in Japanese food. Tofu, bean powder and soybean milk are all foods that can effectively curb prostate cancer.
3. Pay attention to eating more tomatoes
Researchers found that people who eat the most cooked tomato products have the lowest risk of prostate cancer. The so-called "maximum" means ten books a week. It sounds like a lot, but 1/2 cups of ketchup is just one serving-maybe you poured more than one serving on the spaghetti.
4. Pay attention to regularity. The incidence of acute prostatitis is as high as 89.7% for those who have sex many times in a short period of time.
On the contrary, abstinence makes the prostate secrete a lot of "hoarding", which leads to long-term excessive expansion and congestion of the prostate and can also cause inflammation. In addition, coitus interruptus, sexual intercourse interruption, etc. , but also make the prostate congestion, swelling and cause inflammation.
5. Use hormone supplements with caution
There is a lot of publicity that testosterone therapy can enhance his desire for life, especially sex life. However, high-dose testosterone is often associated with prostate hypertrophy and tumors, which is rarely mentioned. If he has prostate disease, then stay away from these hormone supplements.
6. Pay attention to regular exercise in the sun.
Life stress will increase the chance of prostate enlargement. When the stress of life slows down, the symptoms of prostate will be relieved, so try to stay relaxed. Go to outdoor sports with him quickly. Moderate exercise helps to strengthen the body's resistance and improve the local blood circulation of the prostate.
7. Eat more foods rich in zinc.
Zinc can increase the anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects of prostate, so eat more zinc-rich snacks such as seafood, white melon seeds, peanuts, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds. Antioxidants can protect prostate, and men should eat more nuts, fresh vegetables and fruits on the table.
2. Daily care of prostate
(1) Sexual life (ejaculation) is regular, 2-3 times a week, as far as possible in the morning, and then drink plenty of water to flush the urethra.
(2) Do not smoke or drink, and eat less spicy, greasy, thick and hairy food.
(3) Sleep 1-2 hours every day and exercise for about 30 minutes every day (don't drink water before exercise 1 hour, and avoid strenuous exercise for 30 minutes after taking medicine to avoid affecting absorption). Exercise is best to jog, do more lower body exercises, and avoid strenuous exercise and inactivity.
(4) Eat a balanced diet, eat less and eat more meals (resolutely don't eat too much, all kinds of staple foods, vegetables, fruits, chicken and pork are the best), and keep the stool unobstructed. Pay special attention to the influence of dinner on defecation. Eat less and eat early for dinner.
(5) Drink plenty of water. Drinking water is best arranged in the morning and noon, and don't drink water for 2 hours before going to bed.
(6) Avoid catching a cold, especially when taking a bath. It is very important to keep the temperature of the prostate.
(7) avoid prostate congestion, can't stand sperm, can't take a sauna, avoid sedentary, avoid riding a bicycle for a long time, and avoid urinating.
(8) Keep cheerful. Don't care too much, be in a good mood, and cooperate with the doctor to treat slowly. People who can't be cured are always on tenterhooks and rely on drugs, and they can't be cured. There is no specific medicine to treat this disease, which is not a common infection. The most important thing is the enhancement of self-resistance. Mental stress is even more detrimental to recovery. It is absolutely impossible to rely solely on drugs. The most important thing is maintenance.
3. Factors affecting prostate
Risk factors 1: cycling for a long time.
Many men will choose cycling, but cycling often will also bring bad effects to the prostate. The continuous friction or vibration between the body and the hard seat will destroy the prostate tissue structure and cause injury. Experts suggest that cycling should not exceed half an hour at a time, especially for patients with prostate disease, and cycling should be avoided as much as possible. Walking, running, mountain climbing, swimming and other sports are all beneficial to prevent prostatitis.
Risk factor 2: overweight.
Body weight is an important index affecting prostate health. The overweight, the higher the testosterone level in the body, the easier it is to induce prostate cancer. In addition, being overweight can even damage the health of your reproductive system, because after an overweight person sits down, the meat in the buttocks and inner thighs is concentrated in the private parts, which is equivalent to heating the testicles, and the hot environment is harmful to the reproductive system. Therefore, overweight people should take an active part in exercise, do lighter exercise such as swimming and reduce excess fat.
Risk factor 3: eating red meat.
A survey in the United States found that people who regularly eat red meat have an increased risk of prostate cancer 12%, because saturated fat in red meat is not good for prostate health. Experts say that tomatoes, known as the "king of prostate health", contain super antioxidant lycopene, which can not only prevent the occurrence of prostate diseases, but also accelerate the recovery of prostate. Omega 3 in fish also helps to reduce the risk of prostate disease, so you can eat more. It should be noted that patients with prostatitis and hyperplasia should avoid eating peppers, eat less irritating foods such as ginger, onion, garlic and peppers, and should not eat too much beef and mutton, seafood, coffee, cola and strong tea.
Risk factor 4: Drinking alcohol.
A study by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in the United States found that people who drink more than 50 grams of high-concentration alcohol every day are more than three times more likely to develop advanced prostate cancer than those who don't drink or drink less. Experts remind that long-term excessive drinking is not only harmful to the digestive system, nervous system and metabolic system, but also stimulates the secretion of testosterone, which in turn affects the secretion and excretion of prostatic fluid. Therefore, men must drink moderately, especially those who already have prostatitis, and should give up drinking completely.
Risk factor 5: sedentary and not exercising.
A survey in Sweden found that compared with people who often walk, people who sit in the office for a long time have an increased risk of prostate cancer by 30%. Experts say that long-term sedentary often makes the prostate part in a state of oppression, which is more likely to induce prostatitis. Therefore, people who work in the office all the year round should stand up and exercise for about 8 to 10 minutes after sitting for an hour. In addition, outdoor activities are also essential, and you can stick to it at ordinary times.
Risk factor 6: Poor sleep.
Researchers from the University of Iceland studied the impact of sleep on the risk of prostate cancer, involving more than 265,438,000 men aged between 67 and 96. The results showed that the risk of prostate cancer in people with poor sleep was 1.6~2. 1 times higher than that in people without sleep problems, including difficulty in falling asleep, easy waking up at night and easy waking up in the morning. Experts say that poor sleep will reduce the resistance and immunity of the whole human body, and at the same time make the prostate vulnerable to bacterial invasion. If you often stay up late in dangerous ways such as smoking, drinking, surfing the Internet and sitting for a long time, the harm will be even greater.
Risk factor seven: smoking.
It was found that the prevalence of prostate diseases in smokers was 1~2 times higher than that in non-smokers. This is because tobacco contains more than 1200 compounds, most of which are harmful to human body. Experts say that the more you smoke, the greater the harm to the prostate. Therefore, not smoking and quitting smoking as soon as possible are the best ways to protect prostate and prevent prostate cancer.
Risk factor 8: Irregular sexual life.
Generally speaking, premature sexual intercourse, frequent sexual intercourse, excessive sexual life or long-term abstinence will increase the incidence of prostate diseases.
