Can I exercise during prostate cancer?

Can I exercise during prostate cancer? Prostate health is essential for men to have satisfying sex. However, the prostate is very delicate, and many men will be troubled by prostate problems as they age. At this time, exercise and conditioning are very important. Let's take a look at the following introduction.

Exercise can improve blood circulation, increase the secretion of prostatic fluid, and reduce inflammation. It is also good for relieving chronic prostate symptoms such as sore waist, pain and discomfort in the perineum and lower abdomen, nerve dysfunction and neurasthenia. Regular exercise can also deliver drugs to the prostate gland faster, thereby enhancing the efficacy of the drugs and improving the quality of life of patients.

However, there are certain requirements for exercise for prostate patients. It is not advisable to choose riding sports such as cycling, motorcycles, horseback riding, and racing, because these sports will directly compress the urethra and prostate, and the bumps and friction during exercise can easily cause congestion and edema of the prostate, aggravating the condition. The recommended exercises are jogging, brisk walking and swimming. Swimming can promote local blood and lymph circulation in the prostate and help the subsidence of prostate inflammation. But be careful, the water temperature of the swimming pool should not be too low, preferably 25℃~30℃. If the water temperature is too low, it will stimulate the gland to contract and become congested, aggravate the accumulation of fluid in the prostate, and further affect the health of the prostate. The swimming speed is controlled at about 30 meters per minute, and the time is about 15~20 minutes.
