When it comes to cancer, many people avoid it, but the human body produces cancer cells every day, so cancer can happen to anyone.

Men are more likely to develop cancer than women. According to the data from the National Cancer Center, the expected incidence of cancer in Chinese men is 234.9/100,000 and that for women is 168.7/100,000. In particular, prostate cancer ranks the second among all male malignant tumors in the world.

In China, the annual growth rate of prostate cancer incidence is about 2.75%. Epidemiological data in 2020 shows that prostate cancer has become the sixth most common malignant tumor in Chinese men, seriously threatening men's health.

So, how to prevent prostate cancer?

A study by Harvard Medical School offers a new idea for men.

Moderate sex life to prevent prostate cancer

The authoritative academic journal "European Urology" published a study by Harvard Medical School, researchers put 31295

The men were divided into a youth group (20-29 years old) and a middle-aged group (40-49 years old), and they were asked to record the number of their releases each month for a period of 18 years.

The results showed that men with 21 or more discharges per month in the youth group had a 20% lower risk of prostate cancer than men with 4 to 7 discharges per month; in the middle-aged group, the risk of prostate cancer was even lower. twenty two%.

This led to the conclusion that "more frequency is associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer."

However, it should be noted that although sexual life can help prevent prostate cancer, the frequency needs to be moderate.

Of course, the prevention of prostate cancer can not rely on sex alone. Proper exercise, avoiding prolonged sitting, drinking plenty of water and urinating in a timely manner, and eating a reasonable diet are also the keys to preventing prostate cancer.

Are men less capable as they age?

Men tend to be more interested and proactive when it comes to sex, even if not for prostate cancer prevention. But as you get older, some people may be overwhelmed. Are men's abilities also affected by age?

Generally speaking, after men enter puberty, with the development of their bodies, they will generally enter a mature state around the age of 24, and their desires will gradually become stronger. However, after the age of 32, the physical function gradually declines, the secretion of male hormones in the body decreases, and the increase of female hormones will cause low desire.

Coupled with bad living habits, such as staying up late, smoking, drinking, eating irregularly, overeating, or chronic diseases such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, high blood pressure, etc., male functions will also be affected, and even sex Dysfunction, such as premature ejaculation.

Studies have shown that about one-third of men have premature ejaculation to varying degrees. If there is a short release time (usually less than 1 minute for intercourse), inability to voluntarily control ejaculation or poor control, low self-esteem, anxiety and other negative emotions, it is very likely to suffer from premature ejaculation.

It is recommended to seek medical treatment in a timely manner. At present, the treatment methods of premature ejaculation include drug therapy, behavioral intervention therapy, physical intervention therapy, topical drugs, surgery, traditional Chinese medicine therapy, etc., but mainly drug therapy is the main method.

The current drug for the treatment of premature ejaculation is the serotonin reuptake inhibitor, dapoxetine hydrochloride, which is also widely used in clinical practice. Like Aitingjiu (dapoxetine hydrochloride tablets), it can act on the central nervous system of the human body. It increases the concentration of serotonin in the brain and improves the central nervous system's control over ejaculation, thereby prolonging the time and treating premature ejaculation.

2 ways to help improve sexual performance

Of course, disease is always "prevention is better than cure". In daily life, consciously developing good habits will also help improve sexual performance.

1. Insist on exercising

Exercise releases dopamine, which makes people feel happy, improves physical fitness, and helps improve sexual performance. Especially aerobic exercise, such as jogging, swimming, cycling, playing ball, etc., can exercise the whole body, promote blood circulation, improve the blood circulation of sexual organs, and also make the pelvic muscles and muscles near the perineum contract, and the speed of blood flow. Speed ​​up and increase sensitivity.

In addition, you can also perform deep squats, which can exercise the pelvic floor muscles, improve blood circulation, speed up the congestion of the penis, and also make the lower limbs stronger, and have more strength to support longer movements during intercourse. The daily levator ani exercise has a certain massage effect on the prostate, and can also reduce prostate congestion and reduce inflammation.

2. Eat healthy

The "killing power" of tobacco and alcohol on male function is not small. Studies have confirmed that the toxic substances in tobacco can destroy the interstitial cells that make male hormones. Alcohol can cause a decrease in serum testosterone levels, resulting in decreased libido and sperm deformities. Therefore, men who like tobacco and alcohol, for their own "sex happiness", it is best to quit smoking and drinking.

For people who like high-fat and high-protein, but do not like vegetables and fruits, this eating habit is prone to high blood lipids, which increases the

The viscosity of blood affects the function of blood vessels and narrows the blood vessels of the penis, thereby reducing the supply of blood flow to important parts.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop the habit of healthy eating, to achieve a combination of meat and vegetables, comprehensive nutrition, eat more foods rich in vitamins, nuts, papaya, leeks, fish, shrimp and so on.
