Prostate inflammation caused by watching TV series and video games for a long time? Doctor: Fear of urination and difficulty in ejaculation if these "dangerous habits" are not corrected
Will sitting still cause prostate inflammation? Bacterial infection may make it difficult to urinate?
Diseases such as prostate inflammation and prostate hypertrophy usually occur in older men, but young people may also have prostate problems if they spend time day and night and remain sedentary for long periods of time. Dr. Zhou Zhengwei, director of the Urology Department of New Taipei City Hospital , said that if men notice abnormal urinary urgency, frequent need to urinate, or have urethral pain, perineal pain, gallbladder tingling, combined with pain during or after ejaculation, they should pay special attention to care. gland-related diseases.
Dr. Zhou Zhengwei pointed out that the main reason why young men develop prostate inflammation is due to abnormal lifestyles; alcohol abuse, smoking, and excessive caffeine intake are also risk factors for prostate inflammation. In addition, long periods of sitting due to work, watching TV shows, playing video games, perineal compression caused by long-distance cycling, lack of exercise, etc., may all lead to chronic prostate inflammation.
In addition, bacterial infection may also be related to prostate inflammation. Dr. Zhou Zhengwei explained that Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, and Trichomonas vaginalis infections may cause prostate infection through sexual intercourse and cause symptoms of prostate inflammation. Patients are prone to symptoms such as difficulty urinating, painful urination, penile pus discharge, and penile tingling. If the acute inflammation is not treated properly during the period, the chance of transforming into chronic inflammation will be greatly increased.
What are the effects of chronic prostatitis? Can doing “squats” help improve symptoms?
Dr. Zhou Zhengwei warned that if the symptoms of prostate inflammation are not improved immediately, the condition will progress from acute inflammation to chronic inflammation. In severe cases, prostate calcification and prostate stones may occur, which will have a certain impact on urinary function. It is recommended that if the public has difficulty urinating or urethral pain, they should go to a urology department for examination as soon as possible and receive appropriate treatment.
Will chronic prostate inflammation lead to an increase in prostate index (Prostate-Specific Antigen, PSA) and even increase the risk of prostate cancer? Dr. Zhou Zhengwei said that according to clinical research, there is no direct correlation between prostate inflammation and prostate cancer. However, it is still necessary to maintain good habits and normal work and rest to prevent prostate disease from causing chronic symptoms and affecting the quality of life.
Dr. Zhou Zhengwei reminds you that you should develop proper drinking habits and reduce holding in urine. If you have bad habits, you should also consider quitting them, such as staying up late, smoking, drinking alcohol, socializing, etc. By maintaining a regular schedule, moderate exercise and a proper sexual life, the chance of prostate inflammation will be reduced.
Dr. Zhou Zhengwei also suggested that patients can strengthen their lower body muscles through “squat” training, which is very helpful for prostate maintenance. In addition, you can also perform “Kegel exercises” in your free time to help strengthen the pelvic muscles, which is also a good way to maintain prostate health.
