Prostatitis is the most common disease in andrology. According to a survey, 50% of men have suffered from symptoms of prostatitis at some stage in their lives, causing enormous physical pain and mental stress to patients. But is prostatitis really that scary? What kind of disease is it? How did I get it? Can it be cured? Below, we will solve these puzzles for everyone.
Puzzle 1: What kind of disease is prostatitis?
More and more male doctors are treating prostatitis as a series of syndromes. Currently, the internationally recognized diagnostic standard is through symptom diagnosis.
There are two common clinical symptoms:
1. Pain symptoms in the area around the prostate are commonly seen in the lower abdomen, perineum, lumbosacral region, and anal distension.
2. Urination symptoms. Such as frequent urination, urgency, waiting for urination, incomplete urination, abnormal urethral discharge, etc.
Routine examination of prostate fluid, B-ultrasound examination, and bacterial culture of prostate fluid are only used as auxiliary diagnostic methods.
If prostatitis is untreated and mistreated, it may also cause varying degrees of anxiety and depression, and even develop diseases such as impotence and premature ejaculation.
Puzzle 2: Where does prostatitis come from?
When it comes to inflammation, many people think of bacterial infections. In fact, only about 5% of prostatitis is caused by bacterial infections, and 95% are not caused by bacteria.
So how did you get aseptic prostatitis?
Mainly caused by poor lifestyle:
1. Prostatitis after sitting out: Nowadays, many people sit for a long time, but the anatomical position of the prostate determines that when a man sits down, it will compress this weak gland, easily causing local blood circulation disorders in the prostate, causing aseptic inflammation.
2. Prostatitis after eating: Nowadays, many people like to eat spicy and stimulating food, which can stimulate the prostate and urethra, cause congestion and edema of prostate tissue, and lead to aseptic inflammation.
3. Drinking prostatitis: This mainly refers to drinking alcohol. Alcohol can dilate blood vessels in the prostate, causing congestion in the prostate gland and causing prostatitis.
4. Prostatitis: The most common form is holding urine. Holding urine for a long time can lead to reflux of urine into the interior of the prostate, causing inflammation and calcification. In addition, the lower third of the urethra is contaminated with bacteria. Normal urination can have a flushing effect on the bacteria, but drinking less water and urinating less can reduce the flushing effect on the urethra, leading to bacterial inflammation. "The other is sperm suppression. If men are not conditioned to have regular sexual life, and young people are at an age of active personality impulses, frequent tolerance for ejaculation can lead to frequent congestion of the prostate.".
5. Frozen prostatitis: Many men love to be cool and unrestrained. When the weather is cold, they need to be gentle and not warm, which can easily freeze them; In the summer, indulge in binge drinking or excessive drinking of iced beverages. When a person is exposed to cold, the sympathetic nerve is easily excited, leading to vasoconstriction, which can lead to obstructed excretion of prostate fluid, resulting in prostatitis. During the late spring cold, there is a significant increase in the number of patients who come to see a doctor due to prostatitis, which is known as frozen prostatitis. After catching a cold, there may be symptoms such as colds and fever, which can also exacerbate the symptoms of the prostate.
Puzzle 3: Can prostatitis be cured?
Everyone is most concerned about the treatment and prognosis of prostatitis. Everyone will ask, can this disease be eradicated? Andrologists believe that prostatitis can be cured. Generally speaking, as long as the treatment method used is correct, adhere to standard treatment for two to three months, and cooperate with some adverse lifestyle changes, it can generally be clinically cured.
The first step in treating prostatitis is to change the unhealthy lifestyle. Prostatitis is a lifestyle disease. More than 90% of prostatitis is caused by poor lifestyle. After patients change their poor lifestyle, more than 50% of prostatitis can heal themselves. Generally speaking, acute bacterial prostatitis requires infusion and anti-inflammatory treatment. Chronic bacterial prostatitis can be treated with oral antibiotics.
Western medicine treatment can solve some symptoms of prostatitis, and more symptoms need to be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese andrologists often believe that prostatitis is caused by kidney deficiency, blood stasis, and dampness and heat, and requires treatment with methods of tonifying the kidney, activating blood circulation, and clearing heat. Specific to each specific patient, the strength of the three methods may vary, so patients cannot purchase their own traditional Chinese medicine to treat prostatitis, and they need to be guided by a doctor's syndrome differentiation before using drugs.
We suggest that friends with symptoms of prostatitis should seek medical advice from the andrology department of a regular hospital. On the one hand, male doctors are "specialized in the art industry", have a wealth of male knowledge, and better understand the "pain" of men. On the other hand, male doctors can formulate personalized treatment plans based on individual differences.
In summary, prostatitis is a lifestyle disease that a man is likely to experience in his lifetime. It is a disease that afflicts the patient physically and mentally. However, as long as we correctly understand the cause, treatment, and care of prostatitis, and strictly abide by the eight rules for prostatitis, namely, not drinking alcohol, not eating spicy food, not catching cold, not sitting soon, not holding urine, not holding sperm, not resisting thirst, and not suppressing, we can win this "prostate defense war.".
