Patient's question:
I want to understand how squats can protect the prostate. Because my father suffers from prostate disease, and among my roommates, some of their fathers also have prostate disease. I see them suffer greatly from this condition, experiencing frequent pain when urinating, which makes me feel sad. So, I want to find many ways to protect the prostate. I heard that squats can help, but I want to know if it's true.Doctor's answer:
Many experts have proven that the squatting exercise can cause rhythmic contraction and expansion of the muscles in the perineum and pelvic area. By doing so, it tightens the prostate, which is adjacent to the perineum and pelvic muscles, thereby improving blood circulation. This allows the prostate to secrete prostatic fluid more vigorously, achieving good protective effects. On the other hand, squats can also help men achieve a more perfect physique and a good body shape.
