How foot massage can prevent prostate disease

Prostate diseases are known as the unspeakable secrets of men, and the main types include: inflammation, hypertrophy, prostate tumors, hyperplasia and cancer. Prostatitis is a common disease among young and middle-aged men, accounting for about 25%-40% of adult male patients in urology. So what is the prostate?

Scientific prevention of prostate disease should start with understanding the prostate.

The prostate is an inverted triangle-shaped gland about the size of a chestnut. It is located below the bladder, just in front of the outer wall of the rectum, outside the upper urethra, and surrounds the urethra. Although the prostate is small, it is composed of five lobes: the anterior lobe is the smallest and rarely becomes diseased; the middle lobe and the left and right lobes are prone to inflammation and hypertrophy; and the posterior lobe is prone to inflammation and cancer.

From an anatomical perspective, the prostate forms the wall of the proximal urethra, including the internal urethral sphincter, a circular smooth muscle fiber that surrounds the prostatic urethra and controls the drainage of urine from the bladder. The contraction function during ejaculation can close the proximal part of the prostatic urethra, preventing semen from flowing back into the bladder, and input the seminal vesicle fluid, prostatic fluid in the prostatic cells and ducts, and the contents of the vas deferens into the prostatic urethra and excrete them out of the body.

The prostate has an important exocrine function, constituting the main part of the first part of semen, participating in the coagulation and liquefaction process of semen, and providing nutrients for the survival of sperm. Its biosynthetics and some secretory products are closely related to the fertilization process, and it also provides some substances to resist male urinary tract infections. Prostatic fluid is an important component of semen, accounting for about 25% to 33% of the total semen volume. The fructose, amino acids, lecithin, etc. it contains are the main energy sources for sperm activity; a large amount of potassium citrate, phosphate, sodium, potassium, calcium and other substances can alkalize semen to counteract the acidic environment in the female vagina and improve the survival rate and activity of sperm; prostatic fluid secretes a large amount of semen liquefying enzyme to help liquefy coagulated semen; the hyaluronidase contained in the prostatic fluid can assist sperm entering the female vagina to penetrate the cervical mucus and the ventral membrane of the egg, thereby promoting the combination of sperm and egg.

Why is prostate disease difficult to cure and often recurs?

The surface of the prostate is covered with a hard lipid membrane, and there are few blood vessels inside the gland. It is difficult for antibiotics that work by penetrating the blood circulation to enter the prostate to take effect. They can only relieve inflammation of the tissues around the prostate, but cannot completely cure diseases inside the prostate. Therefore, there are better anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics for treating inflammation in other parts of the body, but it is difficult to cure prostate diseases.

The reflex area of ​​the prostate in the foot is located on the inner side of the heel, in the triangular area below and behind the medial malleolus. The sensitive point of the prostate is near the vertex of the triangle, close to the bladder, and this is the corresponding relationship from a physiological and anatomical perspective. Foot massage can effectively prevent prostate hypertrophy and prostatitis, and has a good effect on improving symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty urinating, hematuria, bladder and urethra pain.

Why does foot massage have such a good recovery effect on prostate disease?

Because foot massage is a comprehensive conditioning method, it mainly stimulates the reflex areas of the feet, and the body obtains a signal of internal conditioning and information of its own recovery, which mainly activates the body's own immune system. Through this self-regulation, the prostate tissue is repaired and the corresponding symptoms are alleviated.
