Chronic prostatitis is one of the most common diseases in adult men, and is almost the most well-known male disease. Its "super high visibility" is largely hyped up by some magazines, newspapers, or websites with ulterior motives.
The thrilling propaganda that prostatitis can lead to impotence, infertility, and prostate cancer is the most bullshit and common statement in misleading propaganda about prostatitis.
Prostatitis is not directly related to impotence and infertility
Decreased libido and impotence are mostly caused by excessive psychological pressure, and the underlying cause is not chronic prostatitis. "Because normal penis erection depends on the normal physiological structure, innervation, normal blood supply to the cavernous body of the penis, and the regulatory role of male hormones, that is, endocrinology. Chronic prostatitis does not affect any of these processes.".
Theoretically speaking, because prostate fluid is an important component of semen, when suffering from chronic prostatitis, it should have an impact on semen volume, pH value, sperm viability, motility, semen liquefaction, etc. However, it must not be determined that infertility must be caused by prostatitis, and there are many reasons for infertility. Therefore, more tests should be conducted.
Many people are also concerned that prostatitis can cause prostate cancer, which is also without conclusive medical evidence.
Prostatitis is not terrible, mild symptoms can heal themselves
The symptoms of prostatitis are mainly divided into two categories, one is frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, waiting for urination, bifurcations in urination, and urinary tract whitening; The other type of pain is caused by stimulation of the pelvic floor nerve plexus, such as lower abdominal distension, perineal pain, testicular pain, and even lumbosacral pain.
The "Guide to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Prostatitis" classifies prostatitis into four types: acute bacterial prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis, chronic non bacterial prostatitis, and asymptomatic prostatitis. According to the latest diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines, patients with type IV prostatitis, who have no clinical symptoms, only find evidence of inflammation during prostate examinations, and generally do not require treatment.
Prostatitis is known as a self-limiting disease. As long as you control your lifestyle, sometimes you can improve yourself. Some patients believe that the difficulty in treating prostatitis lies in the fact that the symptoms sometimes cannot be eliminated at once, but they are not incurable.
