"No, you've been to the toilet four times today, right? ”
Lao Wang listened to his wife's advice and waved his hand and said, "How can you be so squeamish, I feel okay, don't rush to the hospital." ”
During this time, Brother Wang always went to the toilet frequently, but he always felt that his urine was not clean, and from time to time he was accompanied by symptoms of frequent urination and urgency, but he didn't care too much about thinking that he was 57 years old and his physical function was declining.
A month passed, and his wife couldn't stand it, so she forcibly dragged him to the hospital for an examination. The result made both of them stupid, the doctor diagnosed Brother Wang with prostate cancer, and was immediately hospitalized, if he is not hospitalized, I am afraid that the disease will develop faster, and maybe there are only a few months left in his life.
It is understood that Brother Wang is very busy at work, and he sits in the company for a day, and likes to drink a little wine with friends after work. However, it was this kind of lifestyle that was determined by doctors to be the cause of cancer.
1. What are the habits that are easy to ignore that can induce prostate cancer?
Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor with a very high incidence worldwide. Male cancer has the second highest incidence and fifth mortality rate in the world. In 2022, the latest cancer statistics in mainland China show that the incidence and mortality of prostate cancer showed an increasing trend from 2000 to 2016.
According to statistics, men who have a chaotic sex life at a young age may have a higher chance of developing prostate cancer later in life. If a person has many sexual partners in their life, first of all, they will have a great chance of contracting AIDS, and there will be various related complications in the following decades.
Another contributing factor is sedentary lifestyle. In our daily life, the "three long" behaviors of sitting, standing and squatting for a long time, although they seem insignificant, are closely related to prostate cancer.
And, the reason why long-term sedentary is more neglected than other causes is that it is widely believed that sitting is a common lifestyle habit with no direct link to prostate cancer. In addition, the health problems caused by sitting for a long time often need to accumulate over a long period of time before they appear, and it is not easy to arouse people's alarm.
However, long-term sitting will slow down the body's blood circulation, which will affect the blood supply to the prostate area, which may lead to local cell hypoxia and malnutrition, and increase the risk of cancer. At the same time, sitting for a long time may also increase the pressure in the pelvic area, further increase the burden on the prostate and promote the occurrence of cancer.
Sedentary behaviors can be seen everywhere in life, such as sitting at a desk for a long time to work, staying still while riding in a car, etc. This habit is often seen as normal or unavoidable, so we should get into the habit of exercising regularly, which will also be better for our health.
2. Sex can actually reduce the risk of cancer!
The prostate gland is an important gland in the male body that produces fluid around the urethra that helps transport and store urine. At the same time, the prostate gland is also the target organ of the male hormone testosterone. When couples have sex, the prostate can be called the "guarantee" of sexual life, but many people don't know that men can also reduce the risk of prostate cancer by experiencing sex properly, so what are the aspects of sexual life to reduce the risk?
1. Promote blood circulation
Regular and moderate sexual activity can help increase the frequency and intensity of pudendal muscle activity, thereby improving local blood circulation, which in turn can help reduce the problems associated with pressure on the rectum and bladder, such as dysuria.
2. Relieve psychological pressure
When a man is excited, the body releases a chemical called endorphins, which have analgesic effects and can cause a sense of pleasure, and can also play a certain relaxing role, which has a positive effect on relieving anxiety, tension and other negative emotions caused by cancer.
3. Enhance the body's immunity
Studies have shown that individuals who have regular sex have stronger immune function than those who do not have sex regularly, which may be associated with improved immunity, so for patients with health problems such as proform adenitis or cancer, appropriate activities can improve quality of life.
4. Provide emotional support
The trust, understanding and support elements that are part of an intimate relationship can bring psychological comfort and encouragement to people who are experiencing life's challenges, especially in the face of a major health crisis.
It is recommended to undergo regular medical evaluation to ensure safety and efficacy. If you find any abnormalities, you should seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the best time for diagnosis and treatment.
3. 3 symptoms may indicate the coming of cancer!
Patients who urinate frequently may experience symptoms such as urgency, frequency, painful urination, and incomplete urination when urinating, which are not uncommon in daily life. However, when these symptoms appear, it indicates that there may be something abnormal in the body.
Symptom 1: Frequent urination
Frequent urination is a marked increase in the frequency of urination, beyond the normal range. This can be due to inflammatory irritation due to conditions such as cystitis, prostatitis, or neurogenic overactivity of the bladder. Frequent urination can lead to frequent interruptions of daily activities and even affect sleep quality and reduce quality of life.
Symptom 2: Burning sensation in the urethra
Burning sensations in the urethra are often associated with urinary tract infections, where toxins or other metabolites produced by bacteria can irritate the urethral mucosa, causing a burning sensation. A burning sensation in the urethra may cause the patient to avoid certain drinks or foods to reduce discomfort when urinating.
Symptom 3: Bladder weakness
If a patient who urins frequently urins in the wrong way, the bladder muscles may weaken in contraction, which can lead to urinary retention. This is mainly due to the fact that patients who urinate frequently have reduced bladder sensitivity and a reduced ability to respond to stimuli. Urinary retention usually manifests as a strong urge to urinate but inability to urinate, a feeling of fullness in the bladder, dark yellow urine, and a distended abdomen.
