Remind men: These 3 bad habits are quietly hurting your 'life glands' and need to be changed in time!

The "prostate" gland is unique to men, and it is also the largest solid organ among the accessory glands of the male reproductive organs.

　　Many people misinterpret the prostate, believing that it has little significance to the body, neither the urinary system nor the reproductive system. In fact, the prostate has an irreplaceable role for men.

　　According to the current clinical data, the function of the prostate is quite complex, and its exocrine secretion is the production of prostatic fluid, which is an important component of jing fluid and plays an important role in the normal function of jingzi. Its endocrine function is rich in 5α-reductase, which can convert testosterone into more physiologically active dihydrotestosterone.

　　Not only that, the prostate also has the function of controlling urination. It surrounds the urethra and is close to the bladder neck. It participates in the formation of the internal urethral sphincter . When a man has the urge to urinate, it will be accompanied by the contraction of the detrusor and the relaxation of the internal sphincter. Urine is excreted . Moreover , the prostate also has a transport function, which plays an important role in ejaculation.

**It is precisely because the function of the prostate is complex and irreplaceable that the prostate is clinically referred to as the "life gland" of men.

　　You must know that the prostate tissue is actually very fragile . There are many bad habits in life that may cause damage to the prostate, and then affect the male reproductive system and urinary system. Therefore, everyone should learn to take care of the prostate in life.

　　If you have the following three bad habits, it may be too late to correct them now:

　　1. Holding back urine

　　The kidneys are the organs that produce urine in the human body, and the bladder is the organ that stores urine. As mentioned above, the prostate plays a role in controlling urination in men. Usually, men's endurance is relatively good, and then affected by factors such as work and sleep, many men have developed the habit of holding back urine for a long time .

　　As everyone knows, holding back urine for a long time will not only increase the pressure in the urethra, but also stimulate the prostate, cause the prostate to contract abnormally and be in a state of congestion . The accumulation of prostatic fluid will become a playground for bacteria, and it is easy to induce various prostate diseases .

　　Therefore, male friends should quit the bad habit of holding back urine, and when the urge to urinate comes, they need to go to the bathroom to release it in time;

　　2. Excessive indulgence

　　Although prostatic hyperplasia is easy to appear in middle-aged and elderly people, men should start to pay attention to and prevent it from young adults. The key points to be mentioned here are excessive indulgence and abstinence.

　　You must know that too frequent intercourse will keep the prostate in a state of congestion for a long time , and prolonged abstinence will also lead to the accumulation of prostatic fluid and repeated congestion of the prostate, which in turn increases the incidence of prostate diseases .

　　Therefore, everyone should learn to control reasonably and maintain sexual intercourse 1-2 times a week to meet physical and psychological needs;

　　3. Sedentary for a long time

　　Many men work by sitting for long periods of time to operate computers, steering wheels or instruments. After get off work, they are bound by electronic products on the sofa or bed. They sit for more than 10 hours a day.

　　As everyone knows, long-term sitting is not only the source of joint disease, it is also closely related to prostate disease .

　　Because when men sit for a long time, affected by their body position, the pubic bone, bladder, rectum and other tissues are directly pressed on the prostate, resulting in a sudden increase in the pressure on the prostate . Prostatitis is caused by this.

　　In addition to the above bad habits, long-term smoking and drinking, obesity, unhealthy eating habits, drinking too little water, not paying attention to personal hygiene, etc., may cause damage to the prostate gland and lay a breakthrough for prostate disease.

　　Therefore, everyone should pay attention to prostate health in daily life, and it is necessary to stay away from these unhealthy habits.**
