Chronic prostatitis (CP) is the most common urinary system disease that afflicts young and middle-aged men under the age of 50. It is estimated that over 50% of men have experienced some symptoms of prostatitis in their lifetime, especially pain and discomfort such as urination pain, perineal pain, testicular pain, as well as frequent urination and poor urination.
Chronic prostatitis is an important disease that affects the health of men. The role of psychological factors in the pathogenesis of chronic prostatitis has received increasing attention from relevant doctors, and a large number of studies have been conducted around the relationship between the two. Foreign studies believe that the early pain and urination symptoms of chronic prostatitis are related to depression, while urination symptoms are related to low masculinity; Emotional tension and depression are potentially important factors for the occurrence, development, and persistence of CP. Domestic research has found that the personality characteristics of CP patients tend to be psychotic, with psychosomatic symptoms manifested as somatization, anxiety, fear, psychosis, and depression, which are significantly related to pain, neurasthenia, age, and course of disease.
Chronic pain leads to widespread depression and anxiety in CP patients. In patients with sexual dysfunction, mental stress increases, leading to significant psychological symptoms. When sexual function improves, psychological symptoms also decrease. Some studies have shown that the psychological symptoms of CP patients are related to prolonged treatment, and prolonged self psychological pressure and social pressure exacerbate the psychological symptoms. For patients, only the relief of symptoms is the only appropriate treatment endpoint. The longer the course of the disease, the more severe the patient's psychological disorders; The heavier the psychological burden, the longer the course of illness. Psychological factors directly affect the outcome of the disease, and psychological changes can be mutually causal with the onset and outcome of chronic prostatitis. Therefore, in order to completely cure this disease, it is not necessary to rely solely on medication, but also to increase psychological treatment and nursing, effectively reducing the psychological pressure of patients, and eliminating the vicious cycle caused by psychological disorders.
Eliminate concerns and face them positively. If you suffer from prostate disease, it can easily lead to pessimistic psychological disorders such as anxiety, depression, and terror. Only when patients face reality, seek medical attention in a timely manner, and truthfully inform their doctors of the symptoms and related conditions of their illness can they prevent and eliminate psychological barriers and actively cooperate with treatment. There should be healthy sexual awareness and good sexual behavior. Some patients are unwilling to seek treatment in a regular hospital due to improper sexual behavior; Some patients experience sexual dysfunction and are constantly restless due to concerns about affecting marital relationships and fertility. These psychological disorders and emotions aggravate the mental burden of patients, directly affecting treatment, and can lead to poorer and poorer curative effects. Therefore, patients with chronic prostatitis of this type should actively and thoroughly correct their bad sexual behaviors, re-establish healthy and upward sexual concepts and awareness, and obtain complete spiritual relief.
