What are misconceptions about prostatitis? Doctors say that prostatitis is a disease that many middle-aged and elderly people care about, but care is enough. However, many people have insufficient understanding of prostatitis, leading to many cognitive errors. Therefore, it has increased the psychological burden of patients, and the doctors have made a summary of related misconceptions about the prostate.
The main misunderstandings about prostate gland include the following aspects:
Major: Prostatitis cannot be cured of chronic prostatitis
Pathological changes are relatively complex, and many factors can exacerbate prostate congestion, causing symptoms to recur, such as excessive fatigue, and disordered diet. However, no matter how repeated, the symptoms after repeated treatment are always lighter than before, until they disappear. Being able to receive formal and scientific treatment while avoiding the impact of some adverse factors will definitely be able to effectively treat chronic prostatitis
Second: Only antibiotics can cure chronic prostatitis
A large proportion of patients with chronic prostatitis are sterile, and some chronic prostatitis is caused by some pathogenic microorganisms. Using antibiotics to treat them is naturally difficult to achieve good results.
Third: Chronic prostatitis is the same as benign prostatic hyperplasia
There are often patients who confuse the two, and many patients worry that chronic prostatitis can directly cause prostate hyperplasia. In fact, these understandings are incorrect. This is because chronic prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia are two completely different diseases with different etiology and pathology, and there is no necessary connection between the two.
Fourth: Chronic prostatitis is infectious
In clinical practice, the vast majority of chronic prostatitis cannot be detected for pathogenic bacteria, which means it belongs to non bacterial prostatitis. For this type of chronic prostatitis, it is not infectious. In addition, there are still some patients with bacterial infections that also belong to "non specific bacterial prostatitis.".
Fifth: Chronic prostatitis is a sexually transmitted disease
Prostatitis is the most common inflammatory disease of the male reproductive system. Because its treatment is difficult and effective, many people mistake it for diseases such as sexually transmitted diseases.
Clinically, there are two types of prostatitis: acute and chronic. Acute prostatitis is often caused by bacteria. Inflammation occurs mostly due to bacteria in the urethra, and predisposing factors include colds, alcohol consumption, excessive libido or abstinence, long-distance cycling, perineal trauma, urethral equipment testing, and emotional changes, but it is not a sexually transmitted disease.
