Frequency of urination, urgency of urination, bifurcation of urination, nine questions about chronic prostatitis

Chronic prostatitis patients are common in outpatient clinics. Prostatitis is a kind of syndrome caused by different reasons. It is a common disease and frequently-occurring disease among young men. It mainly involves urination abnormalities, pain and discomfort, sexual dysfunction and psychiatric symptoms. We have summarized the common problems of outpatients, hoping to popularize the knowledge of this aspect for everyone.

What are the symptoms of prostatitis?

Outpatients often come to see a doctor because of abnormal urination: frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, poor urination, incomplete urination, bifurcated urination, urethral mouth secretion, and sometimes discomfort or dull pain around the perineum and genitals. Sexual dysfunction is also relatively common. For example, some patients report recent loss of libido, ejaculation pain, and shorter ejaculation time. Prostatitis patients may also be accompanied by neurasthenia syndrome, showing fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, sweating, memory loss, inattention, etc. The above symptoms are not all present, nor are they the basis for the diagnosis of prostatitis. They only suggest that the patient needs to go to a regular hospital for further examination.

What tests are needed for diagnosis?

Outpatient diagnosis of prostatitis usually only requires routine analysis of prostate fluid, urine routine analysis and urine sediment examination. Special examinations such as prostate fluid culture and prostate B-ultrasound are only used for some patients.

How is prostatitis diagnosed?

The diagnosis of prostatitis depends on detailed medical history and routine examination of prostate fluid. Some patients need to check the urine routine at the same time to eliminate urinary tract infection.

Does prostatitis need treatment?

Many people think that prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate. At the same time, due to the intentional or unintentional propaganda of the bad media, "inflammation - taking anti-inflammatory drugs - not cured - taking anti-inflammatory drugs" seems to be the "standard" for the treatment of prostatitis. In fact, not all prostatitis need to be treated, and not all treatment programs for prostatitis need antibiotics. It is emphasized that the treatment goal of prostatitis is to eliminate symptoms.

Can prostatitis be cured?

Prostatitis is only a common disease of special parts, which can be cured or root removed.

Will it affect sexual function and fertility?

Chronic prostatitis may indeed cause abnormal semen parameters. At the same time, chronic prostatitis with obvious pain and anxiety symptoms will cause some sexual dysfunction, such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and decreased libido. However, even if chronic prostatitis affects sexual function and fertility, don't worry too much. Adhere to reasonable drug treatment will achieve satisfactory results.

Will it develop into prostate cancer?

No research has shown that chronic prostatitis can cause prostate cancer.

Can prostatitis be infected?

Most prostatitis will not be infected because the pathogens that infect the prostate are mainly common bacteria. Individual patients with prostatitis caused by mycoplasma, chlamydia, trichomonas or gonococcal infection need to be excluded from the infection of their spouses, and both parties need to be treated at the same time after confirmation.

How to prevent prostatitis?

Adverse factors that may cause prostatitis include:

Sitting for a long time, direct oppression of perineum area: long-term sitting work, lack of physical exercise.

Excessive sexual life: sexual impulse can cause repeated hyperemia of prostate, and excessive sexual life is also easy to cause bacterial retrograde repeated infection.

Excessive abstinence in sexual life: it will produce automatic excitation for a long time, resulting in passive congestion. It will also cause prostate fluid to accumulate for a long time and become a culture medium for bacteria.

Improper sexual behavior: unclean sexual behavior can cause gonococcal, chlamydia, mycoplasma and other infections, causing urethritis. If it is not cured in time, it can further spread to the deep and cause infectious prostatitis.

Obstructive factors of urinary tract, such as prostatic hyperplasia: this disease can lead to dysuria, increased urethral pressure, and urine reflux into the prostate gland. Stimulating chemicals such as uric acid in urine induce prostatitis.

Mental and psychological factors: 50% of patients with non-bacterial chronic prostatitis have symptoms of anxiety, depression, fear, pessimism and other over-tension. Because of the incorrect understanding of prostate disease, many patients feel it difficult to speak and avoid treatment. Over time, it will form a bad psychological state.

The following points can effectively prevent prostatitis:

Pay attention to rest, avoid sitting for a long time, quit smoking and control alcohol, avoid spicy, do regular anal exercises, do not hold urine and live regularly. These lifestyle adjustments are very important for the treatment of prostatitis.

Drink more water, and ensure that the amount of drinking water is 2000ml~3000ml every day.

Actively and thoroughly treat acute urogenital infection, such as acute prostatitis, acute epididymitis, acute seminal vesiculitis, etc.

Avoid dirty sex and prevent infection of sexual organs. Moderate sex life, recommended to have sex once or twice a week
