Self-check prostatitis
Prostatitis refers to the acute and chronic inflammation caused by prostate-specific and non-specific infection, resulting in systemic or local symptoms. Prostatitis can be divided into non-specific bacterial prostatitis, idiopathic bacterial prostatitis (also known as prostate disease), specific prostatitis (caused by gonococcus, tuberculosis, fungi, parasites, etc.), non-specific granulomatous prostatitis, prostatitis caused by other pathogens (such as virus, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc.), prostate congestion and prostate pain. Prostatitis is one of the common diseases of male genitourinary system, especially chronic prostatitis, which is most common in young men, accounting for about 80% of all the patients. Because of its complex etiology and various symptoms, it is easy to be misdiagnosed, and its condition is stubborn, which affects the normal work and learning of patients.
Clinically, it is found that some young patients are ineffective in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases in the internal medicine department because of abdominal pain to be investigated; There are also patients who have mild bladder irritation symptoms and are treated as urinary tract infection and have no effect for a long time; There are also some patients with sexual dysfunction who blindly take drugs such as helping kidney yang and tonifying kidney essence, which aggravate the disease. Finally, they found that chronic prostatitis was the root cause of these patients. The above cases are common in clinical practice.
How to avoid detours in diagnosis?
There is a simple way to self-examine prostatitis: if you find that you have one of the above three types of symptoms, you can use hot water sitz bath for 1 to 2 times a day, 20 minutes each time, and the water temperature should always be kept at about 50 degrees Celsius for 5 consecutive days. If the symptoms are relieved or disappeared, it is likely to be suffering from chronic prostatitis. This self-diagnosis method is recommended by Professor Wang Fengqi, an expert in the urology department of our hospital. It is simple and easy to operate, has no side effects, and is helpful for diagnosis and treatment. Of course, if the suspected symptoms of chronic prostatitis are found, you should go to the urology department of the hospital for treatment in time.
