In today’s society, most white-collar males are in a suboptimal state of health. Factors such as high work pressure, tobacco and alcohol consumption, staying up late, lack of exercise, among others, pose health risks to them. In recent years, the likelihood of white-collar males suffering from prostatitis has been continuously increasing. Do you know why? Let’s take a look together!
White-collar males have become the new victims of prostatitis, with a rapid increase in the incidence rate among urban white-collar elites. When you experience the following symptoms, you should be alert to prostatitis and promptly seek examination at a reputable hospital:
1. Localized pain in the perineum, penis, testicles, thigh root, pubic bone upper part, sacrum, with pain worsening.
2. Abnormalities during urination, such as urethral burning, itching, incomplete urination, frequent urination, and white discharge from the urethral opening.
3. Decreased libido, lack of sexual interest, occurrence of erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, painful ejaculation during sexual activity.
4. Persistent dizziness, fatigue, anxiety, depression, insomnia, lack of concentration, decreased work efficiency, and more.
The causes leading to prostatitis in white-collar males typically include:
1. Prolonged sitting.
White-collar males often do not engage in physical labor, spending most of their day seated in offices. The prostate, located below the bladder at the pelvic floor, can be directly compressed from prolonged sitting, leading to poor blood circulation, local metabolite accumulation, and hindered elimination. Prolonged sitting exacerbates prostate edema and congestion, potentially triggering prostatitis.
2. Tobacco and alcohol stimulation.
Smoking is harmful to health, with toxic substances in cigarettes such as nicotine, tar, and nitrosamines directly harming prostate tissues and affecting blood circulation, exacerbating prostate congestion and leading to prostatitis. Alcohol consumption can dilate blood vessels, accelerate blood circulation, induce organ congestion, putting the prostate in a state of chronic congestion and edema, rendering it susceptible to chronic prostatitis.
3. High work pressure.
White-collar males commonly face high work pressure, which can disrupt their sleep and cause mental stress in high-pressure work environments. This mental stress along with various life burdens can lead to hormonal imbalance, lowered immunity, increasing the risk of prostatitis.
So, how can white-collar males treat prostatitis?
Since prostatitis caused by the above reasons is regarded as chronic non-bacterial prostatitis, treatment with antibiotics often proves ineffective. It is recommended that white-collar males use traditional Chinese medicine, such as diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills, in conjunction with lifestyle adjustments to effectively cure chronic non-bacterial prostatitis.
1. Adhere to the use of diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills, which have the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, promoting blood circulation, relieving pain, diuresis, and treating the symptoms of chronic non-bacterial prostatitis, alleviating pain and abnormal urination.
2. Drink plenty of water and urinate frequently. Concentrated urine due to inadequate water intake can irritate the prostate gland, posing harm. Therefore, it is essential to drink ample water and urinate frequently to prevent prostate damage.
3. Engage in regular exercise. In addition to work, white-collar males are encouraged to exercise for about an hour daily. Activities like walking, running, or aerobics can promote health.
Above are the relevant insights on white-collar males and prostatitis, hoping that white-collar males can pay more attention to prostate health and maintain a healthy body!
