Prostatitis is a disease that has the greatest impact on the health of men in daily life. This disease often occurs in middle-aged and elderly men. If a male friend unfortunately suffers from prostatitis in their daily lives, they should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner to avoid delaying their condition. Although there are many clinical methods for treating prostatitis, However, patients cannot blindly choose one and then start treatment. What are the hazards of blindly treating prostatitis? Let's take a look.
Myth 1: Can it be eradicated
The treatment of prostatitis should be a long-term comprehensive treatment, and "complete cure" is unrealistic and exaggerated. He said that the most advanced method can only be clinically curable at present, which means that the symptoms disappear, but it is impossible to cure it pathologically, which means that it cannot be eradicated, ensuring that there will be no recurrence in the future. In case of irregular life and insufficient rest, symptoms may occur again.
Misunderstanding 2: Ignoring psychological guidance
Because the incidence rate of prostatitis is high, many people interpret this as that prostatitis is very serious, so the pain may be expanded, and the treatment is not effective. In addition, some people believe that prostatitis can lead to kidney failure and loss of sexual function, and often feel uneasy, which is not conducive to treatment. Moreover, due to frequent or urgent urination, or pain in urination, patients are in a state of anxiety and depression for a long time. Over time, psychological and sexual dysfunction may occur, leading to a vicious cycle of greater fear of disease and more difficult to treat, leading to increased prostatitis and sexual dysfunction.
Myth 3: Hearsay and credulity to "new" therapies
Some people are superstitious about the so-called "special drugs" and "guaranteed cures" that often appear in advertisements, and they often refer patients to one hospital for treatment after not treating them for a long time. When some institutions fail to fulfill their promise of "guaranteed treatment," these patients only fall victim to the consequences of Caikong's severe illness. "So far, there is no unified international standard for the diagnosis and treatment of prostatitis, making some wandering doctors in the Jianghu do as they please. Patients blindly seek medical treatment and privately purchase drugs, but instead delay the treatment of prostatitis, exacerbating the condition, causing a disappointing result of seeking medical treatment everywhere and lasting treatment." Director Hu said.
Myth 4: Massive use of antibiotics
Although collectively referred to as "prostatitis", there are different types of prostatitis. Repeated and extensive use of broad-spectrum antibiotics "without discrimination" not only does not comply with the principle of treating the symptoms, resulting in drug resistance, but also leads to dysbacteriosis in the body, decreased immunity, and other diseases. Prostatitis can be divided into bacterial and non bacterial prostatitis, as well as acute and chronic prostatitis.
