A University
of Ilorin Teaching Hospital
pharmacist, Mr Lanre Alege, has confirmed some of the things to expect when one
engages in regular sexual activities. According to Vanguard, the pharmacist earlier today, Sunday,
October 18, charged many for lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of
Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH). Talking on the topic: “Minimising the
Risk of BPH” at the monthly Keep Fit Exercise for members of staff of the UITH
held at the Kwara Stadium, Alege said constant sex, nutrition, limitation
of alcohol intake, exercise, sitting habit and dressing mode are what make up
lifestyle changes.
Describing
Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH), as a non cancerous growth of the prostate
gland, Alege explained that studies in some developed countries had shown that
50 per cent of men in their 60s and about 80 per cent of those in their 80s
suffered from Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH).
“The
prostate gland is a secretary gland in the male reproductive organ which is a
disease common in men aged 50 and above,” he stated.
According
to him, as the prostate gland expands, it squeezes the urethra or causes the
muscles around the urethra to contract, making it difficult to urinate.
“Frequent urination, especially at night,
reduces or weakens the flow of urine, difficulty or hesitation in starting
urine or holding urine or feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder after
urination,” he
said.
“Consumption
of red meat everyday triples the chances for prostate disease. Milk intake
everyday also doubles the risk while not taking fruits and vegetables multiply
the risk. Men should avoid tight under wear, as it impacts on circulation
around the groin and heat up a bit. Regular sex is good for the prostate,” he said.
