Myth 1: Chronic prostatitis is the same thing as prostate 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.
Myth 2: Only antibiotics can cure chronic prostatitis. A large proportion of patients with chronic prostatitis are sterile. Some chronic prostatitis is caused by some pathogenic microorganisms. Using antibiotics to treat it is naturally difficult to achieve good results. Myth 3: Prostatitis cannot be cured. The pathological changes in chronic prostatitis are complex. Many factors can exacerbate prostate congestion and cause symptoms to recur, such as excessive fatigue and poor diet. However, no matter how repeated, the symptoms after repeated treatment are always lighter than before, until they disappear. Therefore, chronic prostatitis is not a disease that cannot be cured, but rather a disease that cannot be cured due to improper treatment, failure to adhere to treatment, and failure to pay attention to preventive health care after treatment. Being able to receive formal and scientific treatment while avoiding the impact of some adverse factors will definitely cure chronic prostatitis thoroughly.
Myth 4: 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 some other patients with bacterial infections that also belong to "non specific bacterial prostatitis.". In addition, the female vagina itself has a certain self-cleaning function and disease resistance ability, so generally, patients with chronic prostatitis can boldly lead a married sexual life.
Myth 5: Chronic prostatitis is a sexually transmitted disease. Prostatitis is the most common inflammatory disease of the male reproductive system. Because its treatment is difficult to complete, 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 from bacteria in the urethra, 80% of which are Escherichia coli, which enter the gland through the prostate tube. Pathogenic bacteria from other lesions in the body, such as the tonsil, can also enter the prostate through the blood and lymph nodes, often without any symptoms. Under the stimulation of certain external factors, they can induce inflammation of the prostate, including colds, alcohol consumption, excessive or abstinence, long-distance cycling, perineal trauma, urethral equipment testing, and emotional changes, but they are not sexually transmitted diseases.
