What are the preventive health products for men

First of all, we need to clarify the concept. The national drug regulatory department has never approved the category of "men-specific preventive health care drugs." Some of the related products we usually talk about are over-the-counter/prescription drugs with clear indications and are only targeted at prevention in specific risk scenarios. The rest are mostly health foods with blue hat labels, which do not belong to the category of drugs and cannot replace drugs to treat diseases.

A while ago, I accompanied my family elders to the urology department for an annual check-up. The doctor mentioned that if the man is over 40 years old, has mild urination problems, and the physical examination shows that the prostate has a tendency to hyperplasia, he will recommend to prepare some low-dose tamsulosin or finaxone as directed by the doctor. Amines are all regular state-approved products, which can reduce the risk of subsequent difficulty in urinating and urinary retention. However, these drugs are prescription drugs and must be prescribed according to your physical symptoms. If you buy them indiscriminately, you may have side effects such as decreased sexual function and low blood pressure.

If a young man is preparing for pregnancy and his sperm activity is found to be low during physical examination, regular hospitals will usually prescribe the approved version of L-carnitine, coenzyme Q10 and male-specific folic acid. These can indeed improve sperm quality and reduce the risk of abnormal embryonic development. The premise is to meet your physical examination indicators. If the quality of your sperm is fully up to standard, it is useless to take it. On the contrary, it may increase the burden of liver metabolism. I used to buy imported Coenzyme Q10 to prepare for pregnancy. After taking it for two months, the transaminase level was high, and it took half a month to stop before it went back down.

Currently, the academic community has not been able to confirm the accuracy of products such as maca, oyster peptides, and ginsenosides that are very popular on the Internet and claim to be able to "replenish yang and resist fatigue." I have checked relevant literature before, and there is a small-scale sample study saying that the alkaloids in maca can relieve physical fatigue. , there are also large-sample clinical controlled trials that show that its effect is not significantly different from placebo. If you usually work overtime and occasionally feel tired, it is okay to buy some regular blue hat products, but don’t expect it to cure diseases, let alone buy those three-free products whose batch numbers cannot be found.

Last year, the police station in our jurisdiction reported a case in which someone was selling "men's kidney health pills" without a batch number, secretly adding a large dose of sildenafil. An uncle with a history of hypertension took the pills and had cerebral hemorrhage and went to the ICU. It cost him hundreds of thousands to save him. In fact, for most men who have a regular schedule and have normal physical examination indicators every year, there is no need to take any additional preventive drugs or health products. Eating well and staying up late less, exercising more and smoking less and drinking more are more effective than taking any number of supplements.
