Will abstaining from masturbation improve prostate health?
Giving up masturbation will not heal the prostate if there is already a problem with it. However, abstaining from masturbation can play a role in assisting treatment. If there is inflammation, hyperplasia, or other manifestations in the prostate, timely medication is required. Understanding the specific issue and maintaining cleanliness in private areas, eating a light diet, and enhancing physical fitness are also important.
Giving up masturbation will not cure prostatitis, but it is an important condition for the treatment of prostatitis. Only by abstaining from masturbation can prostatitis be better treated. Patients with prostatitis can take antibacterial drugs under the guidance of a doctor to control inflammation; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken to relieve pain symptoms; α-blockers can be taken to improve obstructive urination symptoms; if the patient has excessive bladder activity, M-blockers can be used for treatment. In daily life, patients should pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene in the perineal area, eat a light diet, appropriately increase exercise, and enhance physical fitness.
There are many causes of prostate inflammation, which can be broadly classified into bacterial and non-bacterial infections. Non-bacterial infections include mycoplasma, chlamydia, and aseptic inflammation, as well as infections in other parts of the body, including intestinal infections, which may also cause prostatitis. Therefore, the pathogenesis of prostatitis is diverse, and multiple factors can lead to acute or chronic prostatitis.
