Patient's question:
A 26-year-old male had sexual activity a few days ago and frequently masturbated. He enjoys cold drinks and does not avoid spicy food. I don't know if this is the reason for my recent prostatitis. However, I now truly understand that this is not okay. Please advise me on what else I need to pay attention to.The help I hope to receive: What are the precautions for prostatitis?
Doctor's answer:
1、Cold and exposure must be strictly prohibitedCold and exposure are one of the causes of prostatitis, which can increase sympathetic nerve activity in the prostate, leading to increased pressure in the urethra. Contraction of the prostate ducts affects excretion, and the accumulation of prostatic fluid can also cause prostate congestion, resulting in the onset of prostatitis. Men suffering from prostatitis should take good care of themselves and strictly avoid cold and exposure, as this can worsen the condition and potentially lead to changes or deterioration.
2、Smoking and excessive drinking should be avoided
Numerous research studies have shown that the components in tobacco can affect normal function. Excessive drinking can easily cause congestion and edema in the prostate and bladder base, leading to urinary retention and subsequent prostatitis.
3、Avoid spicy and irritating foods
