Why is Prostate Afraid of Cold? 6 Ways to Take Care of Prostate!

The prostate is a unique gonadal organ for men, but various pathologies such as prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, or prostate cancer may occur if men are not careful. The weather is getting colder and colder now, and the hands, feet, waist, and abdomen are hurting. Therefore, the winter is a period of the high incidence of prostate diseases.
 
Why is the prostate afraid of the cold?
 
Being stimulated by cold can increase the excitability of sympathetic nerves, causing the prostate glands to contract and the prostate glands and blood vessels to dilate. In turn, it can cause chronic congestion, increase the pressure in the urethra, and cause prostate fluid reflux in severe cases. In addition, in freezing winter, the tension in the seminal tract and the prostate cavity increases, and the smooth muscle fibers become tight. 
 
At the same time, the outlet resistance increases, which causes poor drainage of the prostate. In addition, the muscles are frequently contracted by cold stimulation, thereby aggravating prostate congestion and edema. Changes in the condition of the male urethra can irritate the prostate fluid and cause frequent urination, dysuria, testicular pain, or perineal pain, so be sure to take good care of the prostate in winter.
