"Prostatitis is a common disease in men, just like a cold." Prostatitis is not an unseen disease, and there is absolutely no need to be nervous.
By mastering the following knowledge, you can objectively and correctly treat prostatitis:
Not the culprit for erectile dysfunction (ED)
For most men, psychological factors are an important reason for ED. Due to lack of understanding of prostatitis, some patients have a heavy psychological burden on their backs, leading to ED, and prostatitis has therefore been wrongly blamed for ED. In fact, prostatitis does not cause ED, and patients with prostatitis should not have any concerns about it. Diverting attention and reducing psychological burden are good ways to regulate ED, and are also beneficial for the treatment of prostatitis.
Generally not contagious and does not affect fertility
More than 90% of prostatitis is a sterile inflammation of the prostate caused by local congestion of the prostate, which is not contagious. However, a few prostatitis caused by mycoplasma and chlamydia may cause cross infection, and infected women may cause fetal malformations after pregnancy. Therefore, it is necessary for both parties to check for mycoplasma infection before pregnancy. For men, whether it affects fertility depends on the quantity and quality of sperm, while prostatitis has little impact on the quantity and quality of sperm, so prostatitis generally does not affect fertility.
Whitening of the urethra is not necessarily prostatitis
Urethral whitening is an important indicator for the diagnosis of prostatitis, but it is not necessarily prostatitis, and it can also occur in normal people. Generally speaking, the secretion of male androgens is relatively vigorous in the late night, coupled with the accumulation of urine in the bladder, making it easy for the penis to erect in the late night or early morning. The bulbous and paraurethral glands are also stimulated by hyperemia, resulting in secretion of mucus that causes the urethral orifice to drip white. Under normal circumstances, the urethral orifice drips white once or twice a month. If the urethral orifice drips frequently, you should seek medical attention from a regular medical institution.
Won't turn into prostate cancer
As a "component" of the male reproductive and urinary system, any problem with the prostate gland can make men feel nervous, which is a normal psychological reaction. In fact, prostatitis is just as minor a disease as a cold, and its impact on the body is not particularly significant, and it does not turn into prostate cancer. There is absolutely no need to bear a heavy psychological burden for this. Prostatitis often occurs in men under the age of 50. Through treatment or self conditioning, symptoms can be considered cured until they disappear.
"There is a membrane around the prostate that prevents drugs from penetrating easily, so the symptoms of prostatitis won't disappear as quickly as a cold.". "After the symptoms have been eliminated, they may appear under certain circumstances, like colds, but they are not incurable.". One of the keys to treatment is to relax, not be misled, and not focus on the disease. A cheerful mood can enhance immunity and is more conducive to the recovery of diseases.
Don't abuse antibiotics
It is a common idea for people to diminish inflammation when there is inflammation. In fact, more than 90% of prostatitis is caused by aseptic inflammation caused by local blood aggregation in the prostate. Antibiotics have no use at all, and can only cause imbalance in the body's flora and some side effects. Long-term use of antibiotics can also cause bacterial resistance. If antibiotics are really needed for other diseases, there is no drug available.
Don't be fooled by "high-tech therapy"
Currently, there are standardized treatment methods for prostatitis, which have good results for most patients with prostatitis, and the price is relatively low. Some so-called high-tech endourethral therapy techniques are not yet mature, and some may even cause damage to the urethra and ejaculatory tubes. Patients should choose carefully.
