Natural Remedies for Prostate Congestion Caused by Prolonged Sitting

Sitting for more than half a day, when getting up, the lower abdomen bulges, and urination is not smooth. Don't ignore it! This is the "distress signal" of the prostate gland, which has been congested and swollen after a long period of pressure.

For people who sit for long periods, such as office workers and drivers, taking medicine and injections is not the first choice. There are many gentle and effective natural therapies in life, which can protect prostate health without cost or habit formation. 

Here are some natural remedies to relieve prostate congestion caused by prolonged sitting.

Get Up and Move Every Hour

The prostate is like a fragile "small balloon," which is continuously compressed by the buttocks and pelvic cavity when sitting for a long time, resulting in blocked blood circulation, congestion, and edema. Continuous sitting for more than 4 hours can halve the blood flow of the prostate, and the congestion state can last for more than 6 hours.

The solution is quite simple: Set an alarm to get up and move for 5 minutes every hour. No need for complex exercises; simple actions will do, such as rotating your waist 10 times, doing 30 seconds of stepping in place combined with 10 times of pelvic contraction, or squatting 5 times to stretch the perineum. Remember, moving once every hour is the easiest way to relieve stress!

Besides, you can have a reguar exercise in your daiy life.  For example, jogging, swimming and Tai Chi are all a good choice.

Choose a chair that also has exquisite, avoid soft sofa (oppressive feeling is stronger), choose woodiness or a hard office chair first, tie-in 3-5 centimeters of thick bamboo plait, flax is a breathable cushion, can disperse pressure to be able to dissipate heat again. The prostate is "cool and afraid of heat," and keeping cool can reduce discomfort.

Drinking Water Correctly 

Many people are so busy that they forget to drink water and think that going to the toilet less saves time, which actually increases the burden on the prostate. 

After urine concentration, harmful substances continue to stimulate the prostate, which can easily aggravate prostate congestion and cause infection. The incidence of prostatitis is higher in men who drink less than 1000 ml of water per day.

Correct practice: Drink 1500-2000 ml of water (about 7-8 cups) every day, be sure to drink many times, avoid one-time irrigation! Drink 300 ml of warm water on an empty stomach in the morning to help discharge secretion from the prostate; drink 400 ml at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.; drink 200 ml an hour before going to bed. Don't be afraid to get up at night, because the concentration of urine at night is more stimulating.

Be sure to pay attention to: drink less strong tea, coffee and alcoholic drinks, which will dilate the blood vessels of the prostate and aggravate the congestion of the prostate; if you want to urinate, discharge it in time, do not hold back the urine, otherwise the bladder will swell and oppress the prostate, which is purely "adding insult to injury."

Healthy Diet 

Many people have had similar experiences when the perineum swells after eating hot pot and drinking beer. Spicy food and alcohol will directly stimulate prostate vasodilation and aggravate congestion.

Daily diet is mainly light, eat more celery, spinach, apples, and other fiber-rich vegetables and fruits, keep the stool smooth (dry stool will oppress the prostate). Pepper, Sichuan pepper, and other spicy seasonings to eat as little as possible, alcohol can not touch, do not touch, can not be pushed off the occasion to taste.

No need to deliberately supplement, a light and balanced diet is the best nourishment for the prostate. The goal is to alleviate prostate congestion rather than "supplement repair."

Regular Ejaculation 

Regular ejaculation is very important. Prostatic fluid secreted by the prostate needs to be discharged through ejaculation to avoid glandular blockage and siltation, thereby relieving congestion; long-term abstinence or excessive frequent ejaculation can damage the prostate.

The key is to grasp the "moderation": excessive frequency of ejaculation will make the prostate continue to be excited and increase the burden, and long-term abstinence will lead to glandular fluid siltation. 

Ejaculation can be adjusted according to age and physical condition. For young people, 1-2 times a week is appropriate; middle-aged people follow their own feelings, and no discomfort after ejaculation is the appropriate frequency.

Warm Sitz Baths 

Warm sitz baths for 10 minutes before going to bed every night is a "little trick" to relieve prostate congestion. Warm water can promote local blood circulation, relax muscles, reduce congestion and inflammation, and most adherents report that the feeling of perineal bulging is significantly reduced.

The method is simple: prepare a basin that can hold the buttocks, pour in warm water of about 104℉ (feel slightly hot but not hot), the water level can not pass the perineum; when taking a sitz bath, separate the legs, gently rub the perineum clockwise 30 times to help the muscles relax, get up and dry after 10 minutes, be sure to pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching cold!

Mild Herbal Therapy 

After a period of daily conditioning, if the discomfort of perineal swelling, frequent urination, and urgent urination has not been alleviated, you can try the natural herbal therapy developed by Dr. Li Clinic—the Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill. 

This natural herbal formula, in line with the conditioning idea of "clearing heat and promoting diuresis, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis," can solve prostate congestion and inflammation caused by sitting for a long time.

Compared with Western medicine, which focuses on sterilization, the Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill has obvious advantages, which can synchronously achieve "eliminating inflammation, dredging obstruction and nourishing glands." 

It contains Plantain seed, safflower, and honeysuckle, and has effects in promoting urination, removing dampness, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and clearing away heat and toxic materials. 

It can also dredge glandular ducts, improve prostate metabolism, and is mild in nature without extra burden, suitable for long-term conditioning.

Warm Reminder: 

The core of these natural therapies is to make the prostate less oppressed, maintain the circulation of Qi and blood, without complicated operation, the key is "persistence!" In addition, more than three times a week of aerobic exercise (fast walking, swimming, etc., 30 minutes each time) can improve blood circulation as a whole and indirectly protect the prostate.

Be sure to keep in mind that if there is persistent frequency of urination, urgency of urination, pain in urination, or pain in the perineum and lumbosacral region, seek medical examination in time. Early intervention can prevent minor problems from developing into chronic diseases.

Conclusion 

The body needs regular maintenance, and the prostate is the "weak point" of men. For sedentary people, it is better to integrate these simple natural therapies into daily life than to remedy them afterwards-sitting less, drinking more water, and moving frequently are the best care for the prostate.
