"Honeymoon Prostatitis" is a major joy in life, but some grooms unfortunately suffer from prostatitis during their honeymoon. Therefore, this disease is also known as "honeymoon prostatitis" and is mainly related to the lifestyle of newlywed men during this period.
Firstly, the excitement and novelty of the newlywed period often result in unrestrained sexual activity during the honeymoon. Excessive and frequent sexual intercourse can cause repeated and sustained congestion of the prostate, which meets the conditions for the development of aseptic prostatitis and is an important factor in the occurrence of inflammation.
Literature reports have shown that the rate of prostatitis in individuals who engage in multiple sexual encounters within a short period of time can reach 89.7%. Furthermore, the use of methods such as withholding ejaculation or interrupting sexual intercourse due to fear of pregnancy can also cause congestion of the prostate and lead to inflammation.
Secondly, alcohol is often used to enhance the atmosphere during wedding banquets. Alcohol is a major enemy of the prostate and can cause rapid congestion. Excessive alcohol consumption and continuous stimulation can ultimately lead to the occurrence of inflammation. Additionally, some individuals blindly take so-called "aphrodisiac" drugs, which can also cause congestion and edema of the prostate.
Furthermore, the stress and busyness of organizing a wedding, fatigue from long-distance travel, irregular eating and sleeping habits, and constant temperature changes can lower the body's resistance and make it susceptible to bacterial invasion and infection. Neglecting sexual hygiene and developing urethritis can result in retrograde infection and subsequent prostatitis. So how can this honeymoon disease be prevented?
Experts suggest: prevent exposure to cold. In late autumn to early spring, weather changes are unpredictable, and cold weather often worsens the condition. Therefore, patients must pay attention to keeping warm and prevent colds and upper respiratory infections. Consume less spicy food (including alcohol), as spicy and irritating foods can cause congestion of the genital organs, exacerbate symptoms of hemorrhoids and constipation, and put pressure on the prostate, worsening difficulty in urination.
Avoid holding urine. Holding urine can cause excessive bladder distension, weaken the detrusor muscle tension, and make urination difficult, easily inducing acute urinary retention. Therefore, it is important to urinate when there is a need. Avoid overexertion. Excessive fatigue can deplete vital energy, and insufficient vital energy can cause weak urination and easily lead to urinary retention.
Avoid prolonged sitting. Prolonged sitting can worsen conditions such as hemorrhoids and cause congestion in the genital area, leading to difficulty in urination. Regular participation in cultural and sports activities, as well as Qigong exercises, can help alleviate symptoms.
