The prostate can also experience a "sub-health state." In the period before the onset of prostatitis, the local function of the prostate may have already undergone a certain degree of change. However, at this stage, the patient may not yet feel any obvious symptoms or abnormalities. The prostate may be in a sub-health state during this time, making it particularly susceptible to prostatitis under certain inducing factors. Even after the disease has been cured, although the pathogens within the prostate have been completely eliminated, this does not mean that the tissue damage caused by the infection has been fully repaired. For a short period after inflammation is cured, the prostate may still be in a sub-health state and extremely prone to re-infection.
How should we face the sub-health state of the prostate? I will explain the following two points:
Enhancing the body's immunity and disease resistance
Maintaining a regular lifestyle, having a routine for daily activities, and persisting in appropriate physical exercise (such as practicing Tai Chi, sprinting, or walking after meals) can improve blood circulation, help absorb local inflammation, and enhance the body's internal resistance and immune function. All these are of great significance in preventing the occurrence of prostatitis. Exercise involving muscles in the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and perineum can also massage and adjust the function of the prostate, promoting blood circulation and lymphatic circulation in the prostate tissue. Additionally, maintaining smooth bowel movements, drinking plenty of water, and frequent urination can flush the urethra with urine, helping expel prostate secretions and prevent repeated infections.
Furthermore, urologists indicate that the non-standardized use or abuse of antibiotics can lead to an imbalance in the normal flora of the prostate, complicating the bacterial composition of the urinary and reproductive systems. This can facilitate the colonization, growth, and reproduction of external bacteria, leading to severe cases of secondary infections and the formation of multi-drug resistant strains, which has become an important reason for the difficulty in diagnosing and treating the etiology of prostatitis.
Restricting Stimulating Diets
Alcoholic beverages, chili peppers, and other spicy foods stimulate the prostate and urethra. Consuming them can cause vasodilation, swelling, or reduced resistance of the prostate, often leading to clinical symptoms of prostate discomfort. These conditions can favor the rapid growth and reproduction of resident bacteria in the prostate, potentially triggering acute prostatitis or worsening chronic prostatitis. Through our observations of patients with prostatitis, we find that the main foods causing prostate congestion are alcohol and chili peppers. However, not everyone who consumes them develops prostatitis. For instance, in the cold northern regions of China, people like to drink strong liquor, while in some tropical southern regions, residents enjoy eating chili peppers. Yet, there is no higher incidence of prostatitis compared to other areas. The key lies in mastering the "degree" issue and adhering to individualized principles. As for other stimulating foods such as fish, shrimp, chicken, beef, mutton, dog meat, or other foods, they do not excessively congest the prostate, so there is no need to overstate the role of stimulating foods in causing prostatitis.
The causes of prostate diseases are complex and varied. If patients feel discomfort, they should seek medical attention at a reputable hospital as early as possible. After identifying the cause, treatment should be administered under the guidance of professional physicians while maintaining good living habits and an optimistic attitude to achieve recovery as soon as possible.
