The health issues of men are not optimistic. The health problems of many men have been getting worse, and diseases have become more diversified and younger. Data shows that the life expectancy of men is 5 years shorter than women; the risk of men over 35 suffering from various diseases is much higher than women; more than half of the 50-year-old men will be troubled by prostate diseases and other male diseases. (Please refer to how to regulate prostatic disease)
Statistics from the World Health Organization show that prostate diseases are relatively common in young and middle-aged men, accounting for about 35% to 40%. More than 80% of elderly men are plagued by benign prostatic hyperplasia for a long time. Currently, the proportion of patients with prostate disease in our country is increasing year by year, showing a trend of becoming younger. Moreover, more than 50% of male infertility cases are caused by complications due to prostate diseases, which is also the most easily induced type of urological disease.
Expert review:
"The youth and middle age" period is a "troublesome season" for the prostate. At this time, if the sexual activity of the human body is too frequent, combined with social pressure and changes in people's lifestyles, such as sitting for long periods, smoking, drinking alcohol, improper massage, and neglecting the hygiene of the urinary system, it can make the prostate work overtime and make the body and mind feel exhausted, leading to a decrease in resistance, making it easy to be invaded by bacteria. When the prostate is inflamed and damaged, it can first lead to a decline in semen quality, reduced fertility, and even cause infertility.

1. Cycling is a big enemy of the prostate
Cycling works on the same principle as sitting for long periods, which can cause congestion and blood circulation obstacles in the perineum and prostate area. If this continues for a long time, it can lead to prostatitis. Cycling puts more direct pressure on the perineum and prostate than sitting, especially during long-distance cycling. This can result in numbness and discomfort in the perineal area, perineal pain, urethral pain during urination, difficulty in urination, and lower back pain. This is one of the main reasons for the high incidence of chronic prostatitis in Chinese men.
2. Smoking harms the prostate
Tobacco is a solanaceous plant and also one of the plants with the most bio-alkaloids. The smoke produced by smoking contains a large amount of harmful components, mainly nicotine, tar, arylhydroxy acid, carbon monoxide, etc., which can reduce the physiological function of the body itself to identify, eliminate, and clear antigenic foreign bodies. Long-term smokers have reduced immunity, making them susceptible to harmful microorganisms, and the prostate may be one of the affected organs.
3. Alcohol is highly harmful to the prostate
Alcohol is widely recognized in the industry as the number one "killer" of the prostate, and examples of excessive drinking inducing prostate disease are not uncommon. Alcohol entering the body can accelerate blood circulation, dilate blood vessels, especially the internal organ blood vessels significantly. When suffering from prostatitis, especially acute prostatitis, alcohol should be absolutely prohibited to prevent inflammation from spreading and causing other chain reactions.
