The prostate is the largest accessory gland in men, and plays a very important role in male physiological activities. If the prostate is not properly maintained, symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, and difficulty in urination can occur. If it is not cured for a long time, it can damage the physical and mental health of men, leading to male sexual dysfunction, and male infertility. Prostate disease is now the most common clinical andrology disease! In recent years, due to the pressure of work and the impact of family factors, more and more young people have also developed prostate symptoms!
Why Prostatitis Troubles Men for Life
The prostate is the largest accessory gland in men, and plays a very important role in male physiological activities. If the prostate is not properly maintained, symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, and difficulty in urination can occur. If it is not cured for a long time, it can damage the physical and mental health of men, leading to male sexual dysfunction, and male infertility.
The urethra is connected to the outside world, and various pathogenic bacteria can easily enter the prostate through the urethra and cause infection. In addition, the prostate is adjacent to the vas deferens, ureters, seminal vesicles, bladder, and rectum, and is often affected by inflammation in adjacent organs, leading to various diseases such as prostatitis. Therefore, the prostate is more likely to become a "problem prone area" for men.
In young adulthood, the prostate is prone to acute and chronic prostatitis, because it is the peak period of male physiological activity during young adulthood, which can easily lead to repeated congestion of the prostate and induce inflammation under the stimulation of physiological excitement. When the body's resistance is weak or other parts become infected, the pathogen can infect the prostate and form acute and chronic inflammation.
Clinically, there are two common conditions for prostatitis: one is that the early clinical manifestations are atypical, which can easily be ignored and delay the optimal treatment opportunity. The other is that the disease delays for a relatively long time, with diverse clinical manifestations, which not only causes physical pain to the patient, but also brings psychological pressure, making treatment more complex.
Four Misunderstandings in the Treatment of Prostatitis
Experts point out that lack of understanding of the severity of prostatitis, failure to treat when sick, and random visits to small clinics are the fundamental reasons why many men have been unable to get rid of the disease. Some men have diseases to carry, while others dare not go to regular hospitals to see a doctor, preferring to believe in wandering doctors in the Jianghu; Some people do not look when their condition is mild, and only seek medical help when they develop chronic prostatitis; Some people blindly and randomly take tonic drugs, resulting in excessive or forced excitation of the prostate, which can cause recurrent prostatitis. Patients also have the following four misconceptions in the treatment of prostatitis:
Myth 1: It is believed that chronic prostatitis is the same thing as prostatic hyperplasia. In fact, chronic prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia are two completely different diseases with different etiology and pathology.
Mistake 2: Believing that only antibiotics can cure chronic prostatitis. A large proportion of chronic prostatitis is sterile, and some chronic prostatitis is caused by some pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve good results by using antibiotics alone, and comprehensive treatment should be carried out in conjunction with other physical therapies.
Mistake 3: Believing that chronic prostatitis is infectious. In clinical practice, many chronic prostatitis belong to non bacterial prostatitis, which is not infectious. In addition, bacterial infections in some patients also belong to "non specific bacterial prostatitis". Therefore, in general, patients can live a normal, reasonable and regular life without undue worry.
Myth 4: Believing that prostatitis cannot be cured. Many factors can exacerbate prostate congestion and cause symptoms to recur, such as excessive fatigue, eating disorders, and so on. However, the symptoms after repeated treatment are always lighter than before. Therefore, chronic prostatitis is not incurable, and scientific treatment methods should be adopted to avoid the impact of adverse factors.
