Date:2022-06-16 click:0
Modern people have taken smoking as a living habit. Not only do men smoke, but women also smoke. Smoking is very harmful, especially secondhand smoke. Regular smoking in men will significantly impact the prostate and even quickly induce prostatitis.
Tobacco contains more than 1,200 compounds, mainly nicotine, cyanide, and carbon monoxide, which are harmful to the human body. According to the survey, the probability of prostate disease in smoking men is higher than in non-smoking men one to two times. Therefore, it can be said that the more smoking, the greater the harm to the prostate.
Quitting tobacco can prevent prostate Disease.
While most people are aware of the dangers of smoking, perhaps not much is known about the prostatic harm that smoking may cause. So, what does smoking have to do with prostate disease? Nicotine, tar, nitrosamines, carbon monoxide, and other toxic substances in cigarettes can not only directly poison the prostate tissue, but also interfere with the nerve function that controls the blood vessels, affect the blood circulation of the prostate, and aggravate the congestion of the prostate.
Smoking can reduce the immunity of the human body. When the human body is attacked by harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses, immune cells cannot remove and eliminate these foreign "invaders" in time. For patients with low immunity, the disease is complicated to cure, and it will cause acute attacks in some cases.
Some medical experts attribute prostate disease to an immune disease, which shows that immunity plays a role in the disease. When tobacco is burned, trace amounts of pyrene, benzene, anthracene, and other substances are produced. Among them, benzene and pyrene have substantial carcinogenic effects, and several other substances can also enhance the development of carcinogens. Therefore, long-term heavy smoking will increase the possibility of prostate cancer.
Hyperplasia of the prostate is a senile disease that usually occurs between the ages of 60 and 70. Heavy smoking will cause premature aging, and some people have symptoms of enlarged prostate around the age of 40, which is not unrelated to smoking.
The survey shows that heavy smokers (smoking two or more 1.5 packs per day) and non-smokers have a much higher chance of developing prostatic hypertrophy. Every man is reluctant to suffer from prostate disease or an enlarged prostate in advance, so quitting smoking is one of the best preventive measures. Therefore, to enjoy the pleasure of urination, quitting tobacco is imperative.
Smoking may cause male infertility.
Smoking can reduce sperm quality, especially in prostate patients. Smoking can interfere with the function of the thalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis. It also will diminish the quality of men's semen, lead to oligospermia and azoospermia, and reduce the number of sperm by 22%. In severe cases, it can be reduced by 57%. It can also induce varicocele, leading to infertility.
It has been reported that tobacco nicotine and polycyclic aromatic hydroxy compounds can cause testicular atrophy, sperm interruption, and morphological changes in various experimental animals. Smoking can also cause impotence and infertility in men. The research analysis concluded that 2/3 of impotence patients are smokers and twice as many as non-smokers. 90% of patients with peripheral vascular obstruction are smokers, and just one person in every four suffers from it—poor blood circulation in the penis, and only 1 in 12 non-smokers.
Statistically proven, smoking on penile blood circulation is more than 90% the impact. The percentages of sperm count and motility in men who smoked were significantly lower than those in men who did not, and the cause of infertility became apparent at a glance. It can see that although smoking does not directly affect the prostate, it can affect the quantity and quality of sperm, as well as the blood circulation of the penis. As a result, it is reasonable to think that smoking will affect the quality of the prostatic fluid and the blood circulation of the gland. Thus, it is one of the potential factors becoming a cause of prostate disease.
Smoking is harmful, and there are many harms and no benefits. But we cannot underestimate the damage of tobacco to the prostate. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that smoke is the evil of fire poison, and inhaling the shade essence that is easy to hurt people, leads to a deficiency of yin essence and yin blood. It is one of the reasons prostate disease can cause yin deficiency and essence deficiency, and it is also why patients with yin deficiency prostate disease must abstain.
How to treat prostate disease mainly depends on the determination of the smoker, supplemented by drugs on this basis. You can take herbal Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, starting from nourishing yin and clearing heat, detoxification, and dampness. It has a good effect on improving the symptoms caused by prostate diseases.
