Prostate problems can be said to be the unspoken secret of many men nowadays. Being under the dual high pressure of life and work for a long time forces the body into an overdraft state, often resulting in a deterioration of men’s health. This is also the “source” of men suffering from prostatitis.
So what signals does a man’s body send when he suffers from prostatitis? How can we prevent the occurrence of prostatitis? Men should also be more informed, and wives should pay more attention too.
Four common symptoms of prostatitis in men
Acute bacterial prostatitis: When men suffer from bacterial prostatitis, it is easy to have chills and high fever, often accompanied by varying degrees of lower urinary tract infection symptoms. For example, frequent urination, urgency to urinate, and difficulty urinating may occur. Some may feel discomfort in the rectal and perineal areas. During examinations, there will be a noticeable increase in white blood cells in the blood and urine.
Chronic bacterial prostatitis: These patients often experience long-term lower urinary tract infection symptoms. Unlike acute bacterial prostatitis, the symptoms are recurrent, sometimes persisting for up to three months.
Chronic prostatitis: Patients of this type often experience pain in the pelvic region, including the perineum, penis, and lumbar sacral region, which results in noticeable difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and prolonged pain that directly impacts the quality of marital life and may even trigger sexual dysfunction.
Asymptomatic prostatitis: Patients of this type do not show obvious symptoms in daily life, but severe issues are discovered during routine prostate examinations. Timely treatment can effectively address the problem.
To stay away from prostatitis, men should remember “more water, less urine, just right”
Drink more water: Men should ensure they stay well hydrated in daily life to increase urination, dilute urine concentration, reduce prostate irritation, and provide a certain level of protection for the prostate. Drinking water not only dilutes blood but also has a diluting effect on urine.
Avoid holding urine: Holding urine can cause great harm to the bladder. When feeling the urge to urinate due to bladder fullness, it is important to urinate promptly. Prolonged urine retention is very detrimental to the bladder and prostate, damaging harmful substances in urine and stimulating the bladder and prostate.
Optimal marital life: Preventing prostate diseases should start from a young age with limitations on the frequency of marital activities. Excessive or restricted sexual activities can lead to prolonged congestion in the prostate, making it prone to enlargement. Therefore, marital activities should be appropriate to protect both the male prostate and female uterus.
Quick tip: Additionally, men should learn to release their stress, especially in the mental aspect. Timely alleviation of worries can help prevent the onset of prostate diseases and enlargement. Engaging in appropriate exercise and adopting healthy lifestyle and dietary habits will lead to improved health.
