How do patients with prostate cancer take care of themselves

At present, prostate disease is a common disease among middle-aged and elderly men. Patients should focus on the cause of the disease, actively cooperate with treatment, and it is also very important to take care of themselves. Next, experts will introduce you to the self-care methods for prostate cancer.

1. Regular life. Regular life, regular sleep and regular meals can protect the prostate. Drink more water and urinate more. Frequently flush the urethra with urine to help discharge prostate secretions and prevent infection. Do not hold urine too much, because holding urine will increase the tension of the prostate capsule, which will aggravate prostate hyperplasia in the long run.

2. Adjust your diet. Studies have shown that excessive intake of fat in daily life can promote prostate hyperplasia. Spicy and irritating foods such as chili, pepper, onion, ginger, etc. can not only cause congestion of the genital tube, but also aggravate the symptoms of hemorrhoids and constipation, and compress the prostate to aggravate urination difficulties. Therefore, the diet of prostate patients should be light and low in fat, avoid spicy food, tobacco and alcohol, and eat more cereals, nuts and vegetables. Drinking can cause congestion of the prostate and bladder neck and induce urinary retention, so patients must absolutely abstain from alcohol.

3. Strengthen exercise. Appropriate physical exercise can improve blood circulation, promote the secretion of prostatic fluid, dilute and wash out bacterial toxins. Drivers and office secretaries should not sit for long periods of time. They should pay attention to changing their positions in time during work, take a proper rest after work, and pay attention to appropriate activities such as walking. Try to walk instead of driving. This can improve local congestion of the prostate and reduce or avoid the occurrence of chronic prostatitis.

4. Pay attention to genital hygiene. Men should clean their external genitals regularly, and their spouses should also pay attention to genital hygiene to prevent bacteria hidden in the external genitals from entering the male urethra, invading the prostate, and causing prostate inflammation. Take a warm bath or sit bath every night; wear less or no tight underwear to improve the blood circulation of the prostate, which is beneficial to protect the prostate. It is also necessary to urinate in time after each intercourse and clean the external genitals.

5. Don’t ride too much. Middle-aged and elderly men, especially those with prostate hyperplasia, should not ride bicycles or motorcycles for a long time to avoid pressure on the prostate.

6. Pay attention to sexual lifestyle. Patients with prostate disease should pay attention to the appropriateness of sexual life with their spouses, neither excessive indulgence nor blind abstinence.
