Prostatitis, though involving immune factors, is usually caused by infections. Common pathogens that cause prostatitis include bacteria, fungi, mycoplasma, chlamydia, viruses, etc. However, bad habits in daily life can easily trigger prostatitis. If not taken seriously, bacteria and viruses can invade the prostate without restraint. Below are four bad habits introduced.
1. Sitting for long periods of time
This causes congestion in the perineum and prostate, leading to a buildup of metabolic waste, blockage of the prostate ducts, and difficulty in secreting prostatic fluid, which leads to chronic prostatitis.
Suggestion: Do not sit still for long periods of time at work. Generally, one position should not exceed 2 hours. Take appropriate breaks during your free time and change positions in time.
2. Cycling
Long-term cycling can lead to numbness and discomfort in the perineum, perineal pain, urethral pain during urination, difficulty urinating, and lower back pain.
Suggestion: Continuous cycling time should generally be within 30 minutes. If the journey is long, you should get off the bike appropriately during the ride, take some activities, and rest before continuing.
3. Drinking alcohol
Excessive drinking can damage the body's defense functions, such as causing vitamin deficiency, reducing respiratory defenses, damaging the liver and kidneys, and causing anemia, making it easier for bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms to invade, greatly increasing the chance of infection and recurrence of old diseases.
Suggestion: Patients with chronic prostatic diseases should be cautious about drinking alcohol.
4. Smoking
Long-term smokers have reduced immunity, making them more susceptible to harmful microbial invasions, and the prostate may be one of the affected organs.
Suggestion: Reduce or quit smoking.
If you have friends suffering from prostatitis, it is recommended to seek treatment at a regular professional men's hospital.
