Prostatitis is a syndrome that has its own unique form. It can be divided into bacterial infectious prostatitis and non bacterial infectious prostatitis. The prostate is an accessory gland, and its special structure is conducive to the entry of bacteria, but not conducive to the discharge of inflammatory secretions. Acute prostatitis is mostly bacterial, while chronic prostatitis may be accompanied by both bacterial and non bacterial. The latter accounts for almost one fourth to one fifth of outpatient cases in urological surgery in various hospitals, but its treatment effect has been unsatisfactory and the recurrence rate is high. If the inflammation is obvious or lasts for a long time, it can affect semen, sperm quality, and erectile function. As the condition worsens, the incidence of low libido and premature ejaculation gradually increases.
Research shows that about one-third of patients with chronic prostatitis are accompanied by emotional disorders characterized by anxiety and depression, characterized by low mood and decreased energy. Some have hypochondriac delusions, often suspecting that they have a sexually transmitted disease or incurable disease, or even have suicidal thoughts. This emotional response can also be accompanied by symptoms such as autonomic nervous dysfunction.
The symptoms of chronic prostatitis are pelvic discomfort or pain, accompanied by symptoms of urination and sexual function. Laboratory tests show bacteria, mycoplasma or chlamydia, white blood cells, or other evidence of inflammation in semen or prostate fluid. The diagnosis of asymptomatic chronic prostatitis mainly depends on the results of prostate fluid examination.
The treatment of chronic prostatitis can include the following points: First, the treatment of the etiology, such as the appropriate antibiotics or anti mycoplasma chlamydia drugs for the drug sensitivity of the pathogenic bacteria, but should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor; The second is traditional Chinese medicine treatment, given oral decoction or suppository local administration to the large intestine; Physical therapy, including physical therapy, far infrared therapy, or magnetic therapy; The fourth is the treatment of accompanying symptoms, such as pain relief, guidance or treatment of sexual dysfunction, etc; The fifth is psychological treatment, which is a very important aspect that can help patients restore confidence in curing the disease.
