What to do with prostatitis
Prostatitis is a common disease in adult males, referring to systemic or local symptoms caused by acute and chronic inflammation of the prostate. Acute prostatitis is often caused by the invasion of pathogenic bacteria due to fatigue, catching a cold, prolonged cycling, excessive sexual activity, alcoholism, injury, etc; The etiology of chronic prostatitis is relatively complex, usually caused by prolonged treatment of acute inflammation. Some patients with chronic prostatitis may experience difficulty erecting, mainly due to mental reasons. Mental stress can affect sexual desire and function, further exacerbating anxiety and anxiety, and even creating a vicious cycle.
However, prostatitis does not directly damage male sexual function. Because normal erections in males are related to the anatomical structure, nervous system, vascular system, and endocrine system of the penis, while prostatitis has basically no direct adverse effects on these systems.
If ED men blindly follow the method of treating prostatitis or even use invasive treatment to deal with ED, this "treatment" can easily cause unnecessary damage. Not only is ED not cured, but it can also lead to bacterial invasion and exacerbation of prostatitis.
In fact, even if you suffer from prostatitis, there is no need for too much psychological burden. As long as unnecessary ideological concerns are eliminated and formal diagnosis and treatment are carried out; At the same time, pay attention to rest in daily life, avoid sitting for long periods of time, avoid cycling for long periods of time, eat less spicy food, and drink less alcohol. Prostatitis will quickly recover.
Symptoms of prostatitis
1. Discomfort during urination: Bladder irritation may occur, such as frequent urination, urethral burning, pain, and radiation to the head of the penis during urination. In the morning, there may be secretions such as mucus at the urethral opening, and there may also be a feeling of difficulty urinating.
2. Local symptoms: discomfort caused by sagging and swelling of the posterior urethra, perineum, and anus, as well as increased swelling and pain caused by squatting, defecation, and prolonged sitting on chairs and stools.
3. Radiation pain: The pain of chronic prostatitis is not limited to the urethra and perineum, but also radiates to the vicinity, with lower back pain being the most common. In addition, the penis, spermatic cord, testicular scrotum, lower abdomen, inguinal area (thigh base), thighs, rectum, and other areas can all be affected.
4. Sexual dysfunction: Chronic prostatitis can cause decreased libido, painful ejaculation, premature ejaculation, etc. It can also affect semen quality. After urination or defecation, white discharge from the urethral opening can also occur, and when combined with seminal vesiculitis, bloody semen can appear.
5. Other symptoms: Chronic prostatitis can be accompanied by neurasthenia, manifested as fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, etc; Long lasting prostatitis can even cause allergic reactions in the body, such as conjunctivitis and arthritis.
6. Low back pain caused by chronic prostatitis is easily confused with orthopedic low back pain, such as myofasciitis and lumbar muscle strain, but the latter is mostly located near the belting area, which is higher than the low back pain caused by prostatitis.
