Prostatitis has troubled many patients and brought great inconvenience to their lives. Prostatitis often causes other diseases of the prostate. We should pay attention to why prostatitis and prostate hyperplasia coexist. Many people do not fully understand. The following introduction can provide a clear understanding, so that we can better recover.
What is the connection between prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia?
Prostatitis is common in healthy men in the United States, and many of these men also have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Researchers are not yet sure whether there is a real correlation or a confusion of symptoms between the two.
The researchers found that 16% of men report a history of prostatitis. Among men who reported a history of BPH, the likelihood of having a history of prostatitis increased sevenfold or sevenfold. They say this result is very obvious because more than 50% of prostatitis patients report BPH, and more than 1/3 of BPH patients report prostatitis. Several factors related to prostatitis were identified. They believe this will help identify this.
The research team pointed out that male patients who reported moderate lower urinary tract symptoms were 1 to 8 times more likely to have prostatitis, and male patients with severe lower urinary tract symptoms were 2 to 8 times more likely to have prostatitis. Prostatitis is also associated with a history of sexually transmitted diseases (1 to 8-fold increase in likelihood), stress at home (1 to 5-fold increase in likelihood), and stress at work (1 to 2-fold increase in likelihood).
After the above introduction, we have gained some understanding of the relationship between prostatitis and prostate hyperplasia. Prostatitis needs to be treated promptly, otherwise it can cause other prostate diseases. If there is a disease, we must go to a regular hospital for treatment. Applying the right medicine to the case will be more conducive to the recovery of the condition.
