For many middle-aged men, they have a special interest in sex. However, excessive indulgence in sexual activities can be highly detrimental to the prostate: prolonged intense sexual excitement can easily lead to overly frequent sexual activity. In a short period, men who engage in continuous multiple instances of intercourse have an 89.7% incidence rate of acute prostatitis. Due to the extended duration of sexual activity, it can cause congestion and swelling of the prostate, leading to prostatitis. A brief moment of pleasure often results in long-term suffering.
**Suggestion:** Avoid excessive indulgence in sexual activities. For middle-aged men, overindulgence in sexual activities can accelerate physical aging. Maintaining a regular and moderate sexual life is sufficient. To prevent prostate diseases, one must start with daily living habits.
Drink about 2 liters of water daily. This effectively dilutes urine concentration, reducing stimulation to the prostate; maintain a regular and light diet, avoiding frequently consuming spicy, acidic foods or strong alcohol; pay attention to keeping warm, avoiding catching a chill. Excessive indulgence or lack of normal sexual activity can both trigger inflammation. It's best to avoid pressing on the prostate or holding urine. For example, prolonged sitting or frequently riding a bicycle can press on the prostate, causing poor local blood circulation, leading to chronic growth, hardening, and swelling of the perineal subcutaneous tissue, or even inflammation, resulting in difficulty urinating. Frequently holding urine can easily cause bladder fullness and enlargement, increasing local pressure and disrupting blood flow, exacerbating symptoms of prostate enlargement.
Experts point out that sitz baths are also good methods for preventing and treating prostate diseases. Sit in water at around 40 degrees Celsius for 15-20 minutes, which helps alleviate discomfort. However, this method is not suitable for young people who haven't had children yet or men who plan to have children. If any abnormal discomfort is detected, please seek examination at a reputable urology hospital as soon as possible.
