In daily life, in order to maintain the health of the prostate, four common sense tips for health care need to be emphasized again:
1. Eat less spicy food and reduce the stimulation to the prostate.
2. Don't sit for a long time. After sitting for forty or fifty minutes, you should get up and move around.
3. An overly high or hard bicycle seat can cause local compression of the prostate, aggravate prostate congestion, and increase the possibility of inflammation. Men who ride bikes must pay attention to the comfort of the seat.
4. Maintaining moderate sexual activity is also a "good remedy" for prostate health. If sexual activity is too bland, it may also lead to local congestion and increase the possibility of prostatitis.
At the same time, the following four methods are introduced for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH):
1. Sitz bath: Use warm hot water for a sitz bath. The water temperature should be at a tolerable heat. Do this once or twice a day, each time lasting 10-20 minutes. Relax the anal sphincter during the sitz bath and use your fingers to press the perineum and around the anus under the water. You can also let the warm hot water flow impact the anal area.
2. Massage: Use your fingers to massage the perineum. You can intermittently apply deep pressure, with the degree being that you feel slight soreness, numbness, distension, and mild pain locally. Massage once or twice a day, preferably during the noon break and before sleeping.
3. Pelvic floor exercise: Regularly practice contracting the anal sphincter and pelvic floor muscles. This can improve blood circulation in the pelvis and perineum, reducing local blood stasis. Do this once to three times a day, each time lasting 10 minutes.
4. Drink floating wheat frequently: Take 50 grams of floating wheat, roast it until it turns yellowish-brown, steep it in water, and drink it as tea every day. This has a good therapeutic effect on patients with BPH.
