Prostatitis is a common disease in young and middle-aged men. It is often caused by urethritis, seminal vesiculitis or epididymitis. There are acute and chronic, bacterial infectivity and non-infectiveness, specificity and non-specificity in clinic. It belongs to the category of "suspended carbuncle, white turbid, labor drench, cream drench, essence turbid" in traditional Chinese medicine. It can be asymptomatic at all, and can also cause persistent or recurrent infection of the genitourinary system.
The prostate is the largest accessory gonad in the male genitalia. It is located at the bottom of the pelvic cavity. Above it is the bladder, below it is the urethra, in front of it is the pubis, and behind it is the rectum. Its function is to produce prostate fluid, which has the function of nourishing sperm, providing energy for sperm movement, and promoting fertilization.
Chronic prostatitis is divided into chronic bacterial prostatitis (cbp) and chronic non-bacterial prostatitis (cnp), which is equivalent to the ii and iii prostatitis of nih prostatitis classification of the national institutes of health.
Patients with chronic prostatitis generally have two uncomfortable feelings. On the one hand, they often have pain and discomfort, that is, pain in the perineum or suprapubic region of the pelvis; On the other hand, there is abnormal urination, that is, frequent urination, endless urination, or secretion at the urethral orifice.
It should be emphasized that it is not the frequent urination and pain in urination that must be the symptoms of prostatitis, nor the symptoms of chronic prostatitis.
