Meanwhile, infected prostatic tissue will congest widely no matter as to bacteral prostatitis or aseptic prostatitis. As a result, when we prevent or treat prostatitis, we should avoid the factors that will cause or aggravate congestion of prostate.
Liquor: liquor can dilate blood vessel. So you may often see someone' face is red after he drinks the liquor. The liquor can also cause congestion of internal organ, including prostate. The prostatitis is difficult to be cured if the patients can’t avoid Longtime drinking the liquor or even excessive drinking, if so, even if the disease is cured, it is easy to recur.
Tobacco: smoking is harmful to health. Nicotine, tar, nitrosamine, carbon monoxide and other toxic substance exist in tobacco, which can not only poison prostatic tissues directly, but also interrupt the nerve function governing blood vessels, influencing blood circulation of prostate and aggravating congestion of prostate.
