It is well known that smoking is harmful to the human body, but a large number of patients are still unaware of the damage to the prostate caused by puffing.
The majority of patients presenting for treatment were smokers. After knowing that these patients have the habit of smoking, we have carefully reminded them and advised them to quit cigarettes, but the patients did not care about it.
Of the patients I have treated, very few actually quit cigarettes for prostatitis. Many patients agreed on the spot, and they followed suit. Some patients directly asked: “What can be wrong with me smoking? I have been in the habit for many years, and I can’t change it.” Some patients even said: “There is scientific evidence that smoking is bad for the lungs and respiratory tract, but I suffer from Prostatitis, I don’t believe that the toxins in tobacco can reach the prostate!”
In fact, this is to underestimate the effects of smoking on the human body. The tar, phenols, alcohols, acids, aldehydes and other substances in cigarettes are truly toxic and carcinogenic substances. Secondly, in the manufacturing process of cigarettes, some cocoa, licorice, sugar, glycerol, ethylene glycol and other flavoring, moisturizing, aroma-producing and combustion-supporting substances should be added to the raw materials. Although these additives are harmless themselves, they become toxic substances due to high temperature during the combustion process.
Glycyrrhizic acid in licorice can form carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons after burning and combining with other components. Burning sugar with tobacco increases the amount of tar, which is an important carcinogen in smoke. The burning substances of glycerol and ethylene glycol may not only make smokers suffer from bladder cancer, but also the acrolein produced can inhibit the excretion of tracheal and ciliary secretions from the lungs, thereby increasing the chances of suffering from bronchitis and emphysema, and make people with both diseases worse.
The toxicity of smoking into the human body can still be detected from the skin and hair after many years of quitting cigarettes, so it is not a problem for these toxins to reach the prostate.
During these years of treatment, it was found that smoking habit was more than double that of non-smoking patients. affect prostate health. Toxic substances such as nicotine, tar, nitrosamines, and carbon monoxide in cigarettes can not only directly poison the prostate tissue, but also interfere with the nerve function that controls the blood vessels and affect the blood circulation of the prostate, thereby aggravating the symptoms of hyperemia of the prostate. lead to prostatitis.
Prostatitis is originally caused by poor prostate metabolism and circulation. Smoking affects the blood circulation of prostatitis and interferes with the nerve function that controls the blood vessels. It will only make the metabolism and circulation of the prostate more problematic. If the patient already has symptoms of prostatitis, smoking will undoubtedly exacerbate the patient’s symptoms.
All of the above are important reasons why we always ask our patients to quit smoking.
For Prostate Health, Quit Cigarettes! Besides, Besides
These types of men “like” prostatitis! Prevention is the key
1. People who are sedentary for a long time are also getting younger with prostatitis. Sitting can also easily lead to prostatitis. Nowadays, many young people have a fast-paced life. In order to better complete their work tasks, they often sit for a day. This is quite harmful to the prostate, because sitting for a long time will squeeze the prostate for a long time, resulting in poor blood circulation in the prostate, which is easy to cause prostatitis. So it’s better to get up and move about every hour or two.
2. Middle-aged and elderly men, the risk of prostatitis in middle-aged and elderly men is much greater than that of young people. With the increase of age, many elderly people will find that their strength is insufficient when urinating, and the urine cannot be discharged smoothly. At this time, it is likely to be caused by prostatitis. With the increase of age, the abnormal secretion of hormones by the testes will cause the enlarged prostate to compress the urethra and cause the urination to be difficult. For early detection and early treatment, regular physical examination is necessary.
3. For men who like spicy food, many young people now treat things like spicy food. Spicy can stimulate the brain to produce excitement, but eating too much spicy food for a long time is not good for the body. Eating spicy food for a long time will stimulate the prostate gland to a certain extent. If the stimulation lasts for a long time, it will lead to prostatitis. Because the prostate plays a sterilizing role in the male body, eating too much spicy food will affect these effects and cause the prostate to be infected by bacteria.
