What kind of exercise is good for prostate cancer patients

If men want to have satisfying sex, a healthy prostate is essential. However, the prostate is very delicate, and many men will be troubled by prostate problems as they age. At this time, exercise is very important. So what kind of exercise can prostate cancer patients do?

Exercise can improve blood circulation, increase the secretion of prostatic fluid, and reduce inflammation. It is also good for relieving chronic prostate symptoms such as sore waist, pain and discomfort in the perineum and lower abdomen, nerve dysfunction and neurasthenia. Regular exercise can also deliver drugs to the prostate gland faster, thereby enhancing the efficacy of the drugs and improving the quality of life of patients.
However, there are certain things to pay attention to when exercising for prostate patients. It is not advisable to choose riding sports such as cycling, motorcycles, horseback riding, and racing, because these sports can directly compress the urethra and prostate, and the bumps and friction during exercise can easily cause congestion and edema of the prostate, aggravating the condition.

Recommended exercises are jogging, brisk walking and swimming. Swimming can promote local blood and lymphatic circulation in the prostate, which helps to reduce prostate inflammation. But be careful not to let the water temperature of the swimming pool be too low, preferably between 25℃ and 30℃. If the water temperature is too low, it will stimulate the gland to contract and become congested, aggravate the accumulation of fluid in the prostate, and further affect the health of the prostate. The swimming speed should be controlled at about 30 meters per minute, and the time should be about 15 to 20 minutes.
