Many people suspect that they have prostatitis
Many people are worried that they have prostatitis. However, less than 10% of them can be diagnosed through examination, and 90% of them are just upset because of slight discomfort.
Turning to the topic of "all men have prostatitis", experts recalled a patient in the previous two years. "As soon as I entered the consulting room that day, before I opened my mouth, the patient cried and begged me: 'Expert, hurry to cure my prostatitis! Since I got this disease, I can't have a normal erection, nor can I sleep with my wife.
I reassured him repeatedly, but he just stressed that he had prostatitis and could not listen to anything. I had to interrupt him and tell him that the diagnosis of prostatitis was made by the doctor, not the patient himself. As a doctor, the first thing to understand is the patient's symptoms, not their preconceived judgments. "
Sure enough, the results of the consultation and examination showed that the patient's indicators were normal, and he did not suffer from prostatitis, and his inability to erect was probably caused by psychological stress.
Men's excessive attention to the prostate also contributed to the proliferation of false small advertisements. The word "prostatitis" appears frequently on electric poles, tricycles and walls, and various false medical information can be seen everywhere.
Experts once met an 18-year-old boy who said that he had been treated for chronic prostatitis for 4 years. "I was very surprised at that time. At this age, the prostate has just developed. How can I get prostatitis? There is obviously a problem with the diagnosis."
Experts said that some so-called experts, individual hospitals and the media exaggerated the common disease of prostatitis into a difficult and complicated disease. Some private hospitals even put forward the "trilogy of impotence, infertility and cancer", which means that prostatitis will affect male fertility and even threaten life.
This puts a heavy psychological burden on many people and keeps them seeking medical treatment everywhere. As a result, the disease that was not serious was wrongly diagnosed and treated, resulting in huge costs and health damage.
The experts also directly listed the seven crimes of illegal andrology medical institutions, including setting up diagnosis and treatment subjects in violation of the regulations, publishing medical advertisements in violation of the law, impersonating experts and exaggerating the efficacy, illegal excessive medical treatment, unqualified medical practice, and over-range medical practice.
Experts believe that people pay attention to prostate disease and male reproductive health, which is a progress and has a positive effect on promoting public health; But now, the problem of prostate disease is exaggerated. Many people only have the word "prostate" in their minds when they mention andrology, which shows that the common people's understanding of prostate is far from enough.
Prostate problem is just a small problem
Experts explained that the shape of the prostate is similar to an inverted cone, which is located between the bladder and the pelvic floor muscle and covers the urethra. It is only a male accessory gonad, and its whole life's work is to participate in the formation of semen and serve the testicles. 30% of semen is prostate fluid.
Prostatitis, which is diagnosed by many men, has only three real symptoms:
One is abnormal urination, resulting in frequent urination, urgency, endless urination, and weakness of urination;
Second, there is pain around the genitals, including pain in the lower abdomen, penis, scrotum, perineum, and the bottom of the waist;
Third, there are problems in the mental system, such as fatigue, sleep disorders, waist soreness and leg weakness, hot and sweaty, irritability and irritability.
However, having the above performance does not mean suffering from prostatitis. There are two diagnostic criteria for prostatitis: first, the cumulative time of symptoms in a year reaches more than 1 month; Second, the symptoms lasted for 2 months or more.
Just as the symptoms of each person are different after a fire, the symptoms of prostatitis will vary from person to person. Zhang Zhichao said that this is because everyone's weak points are different, and with age, people's "pain points" will also change. "You don't doubt that the headache caused by the occasional fire is a brain tumor. Similarly, you should not doubt that the temporary prostate symptoms are caused by prostatitis. This is a truth."
Generally, prostatitis is divided into physiological and pathological states. Inflammation in physiological state is mainly caused by irregular life, sedentary, drinking, eating chili peppers, holding urine for too long, and other symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, endless urination, and painful urination will occur.
It's just like staying up late will cause headaches. It's just a warning from your body to remind you to have a good rest and live regularly. Experts said that only three percent of the prostatitis that most men fear is physical, and the other seven percent are heart disease, which means they are scaring themselves.
If it is diagnosed as pathological prostatitis, don't worry. Prostatitis is not a serious disease and may be stubborn. But as long as we improve our understanding of the disease and cooperate with drug treatment, most people can control it well.
Now, many hospitals publicize physical therapy as a feature. In fact, physical therapy is not a first-line therapy. The treatment of prostate should be as simple as possible.
Prostatitis is also a manifestation of aging. After the age of 35, the prostate will also age with age, and some problems will occur, just like people's hair will be white and face wrinkles, which need people to adapt and slowly accept, and learn to live in peace with the diseases brought by aging.
The key to prostate protection is to say goodbye to sedentary
Is the prostate the most vulnerable place for men? "Obviously not." The expert replied jokingly: "Aging will make almost every organ of our body smaller and weaker. Only the prostate is getting bigger. Because it is too strong, it will oppress the urethra and cause some problems.
Moreover, there is no risk of diseases of other systems in the male reproductive system. Except for cancer, few people die because of diseases of the male reproductive system, which has the least impact on life. "
Although the prostate is strong enough and has little impact on life, men cannot ignore it. Experts believe that to protect the prostate, we should do the following: have a correct health concept, maintain a good attitude, learn to reduce pressure, and never have some symptoms, just scare yourself, 80% of people are actually aggravated by psychological influence; To say goodbye to sedentary, foreign studies have proved that sedentary has a more serious impact on men than smoking and alcohol abuse, and can induce testicular, prostate, lumbar, cervical, and even metabolic diseases. Therefore, male compatriots should get up and exercise for 10 minutes every hour they sit; Eat less stimulating food and do not overeat; Nutritional balance, meat and vegetable matching; Sleep well and don't stay up all night; Exercise properly.
Experts said that for men, prostatitis is like a cold. It is a very common disease. 35% - 50% of men will suffer from it in their life, but it is not a shame to see prostate disease.
Experts say that Chinese men may know his heart, his stomach and his liver, but they do not know the reproductive system and andrology knowledge. It is the lack of understanding that causes fear and worry.
At present, the most important thing is to treat the diseases of the male reproductive system as the same diseases as the respiratory system, digestive system and circulatory system, so that people will not go to the hospital randomly when they encounter problems, but go to the hospital and treat them in a big way.
