What is the knowledge about men’s preventive health care?

To put it bluntly, there are not so many mysterious "secret recipes" for men's preventive health care. The core is to focus on daily habits and conduct targeted screening as needed, and don't just make up for it. A while ago, I accompanied a friend to the urology department to get a report. I met a 32-year-old Internet operator who was holding his urine until he felt pain when urinating. The result was that he had chronic prostatitis with calcification. He casually said that eight out of ten male colleagues around him had prostate problems, so he just let it go. The doctor looked over his report and sighed, saying that if it takes another two years, he might have hyperplasia, and he would be the one to suffer.

When many people mention men's health care, their first reaction is to replenish the kidneys. In fact, it is really unnecessary. Just like if your mobile phone has too many programs running in the background and is stuck, you have to replace it with a new battery, which is not correct at all. Usually, get up after sitting for an hour, get a glass of water, and take a walk for 2 minutes. Don't always sit in the chair and press the prostate. It is much more effective than the Internet celebrity gland-protecting supplements you spend hundreds of dollars to buy. There is currently no unified conclusion on whether to deliberately control the frequency of sexual life. Some clinical studies believe that regular ejaculation can reduce the risk of metabolic waste accumulation in the prostate. Others believe that as long as there is no discomfort in the body, there is no need to deliberately stick to the standard of how many times a week, just follow your own state, and there is no need to copy other people's "health formulas".

Don’t think that screening is something that only middle-aged and elderly people need to do. Men who are sexually active in their 20s can definitely add HPV screening to their annual physical examinations. Don’t think that this is a women-only project. After men are infected, they may not only develop perianal and genital warts, but they can also easily cross-infect their partners. I heard from a nurse in the department before that a young couple tested the virus three times, and it took almost a year for them to completely turn negative. They suffered a lot for nothing. After the age of 35, it is best to add PSA (prostate specific antigen) screening. It only costs more than 100 yuan to draw a tube of blood. It can detect early prostate lesions in advance and is very cost-effective.

On weekdays, don’t always eat heavy meals with oil, salt, and cold beer. If you get off work early, take two less subway stops to walk home. Don’t sit on the sofa and play games all day on weekends. Go hiking with friends and play half-court basketball. You don’t have to develop eight-pack abs. It’s better to move than to lie down. If you really feel backache, difficulty urinating, and general lack of energy for a week or two in a row, don’t be embarrassed to go to the men’s department, and don’t blindly search Baidu to diagnose and buy aphrodisiacs for yourself. Many minor problems are caused by it. A few minutes of early treatment is more effective than any health care method.
