Chronic prostatitis patients are very easy to see in the clinic. Prostatitis is a kind of syndrome caused by different reasons. It is a common disease and frequently-occurring disease among young men. It mainly involves urination abnormalities, pain and discomfort, sexual dysfunction and psychiatric symptoms. Doctors have summarized the common problems of outpatients, hoping to provide you with some knowledge in this regard.
1. What symptoms should we consider prostatitis?
Outpatients often come to see doctors because of abnormal urination: frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, poor urination, incomplete urination, bifurcated urine, urethral mouth secretion, etc. Sometimes there will be discomfort or dull pain around the perineum and genitals. Sexual dysfunction is also relatively common: some patients report recent loss of libido, ejaculation pain, and shorter ejaculation time. Prostatitis patients may also be accompanied by neurasthenia syndrome, showing fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, sweating, memory loss, inattention, etc.
The above symptoms are not all present, nor are they the basis for the diagnosis of prostatitis. They just remind you that you need to come to a regular hospital for further examination.
2. How is prostatitis diagnosed?
The diagnosis of prostatitis depends on the detailed inquiry of the medical history and the B-ultrasound examination of the prostate. Some patients need to check the urine routine at the same time to eliminate urinary tract infection.
3. Can prostatitis be cured?
Prostatitis is only a "common disease" of "special parts"! Prostatitis can be cured and can also be "rooted".
4. Can chronic prostatitis affect sexual function and fertility?
Chronic prostatitis may indeed cause abnormal semen parameters. At the same time, chronic prostatitis with obvious pain and anxiety symptoms will cause some sexual dysfunction, such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and decreased libido. However, even if chronic prostatitis affects sexual function and fertility, don't worry too much. Adhere to reasonable drug treatment will achieve satisfactory results.
5. Can prostatitis be infected?
Most prostatitis will not be infected because the pathogens that infect the prostate are mainly common bacteria. When individual patients are caused by mycoplasma, chlamydia, trichomonas and gonococcus, they need to exclude the infection of their spouses, and they need to be treated at the same time after confirmation.
6. What are the factors that may cause prostatitis and how to prevent it?
Prostatitis is actually a social-psychosomatic disease. The key to cure it is not only the reasonable treatment of doctors, but also the elimination of patients' wrong understanding of prostatitis, the elimination of concerns, and the cultivation of good living habits. More importantly, all sectors of society need to work together to popularize correct and standardized disease knowledge and avoid the temptation of patients by bad media.
Adverse factors that may cause prostatitis include:
1. Sitting for a long time, direct oppression of perineum area: long-term sitting work, lack of physical exercise.
2. Excessive sexual life: sexual impulse can cause repeated hyperemia of prostate, and excessive sexual life is also easy to cause bacterial retrograde repeated infection.
3. Excessive abstinence in sexual life: it will produce automatic excitation for a long time, resulting in passive congestion. It will also cause prostate fluid to accumulate for a long time and become a culture medium for bacteria.
4. Improper sexual behavior: unclean sexual behavior can cause gonococcal, chlamydia, mycoplasma and other infections, causing urethritis. If it is not cured in time, it can further spread to the deep and cause infectious prostatitis.
5. Obstructive factors of urinary tract, such as prostatic hyperplasia: this disease can lead to dysuria, increased urethral pressure, and urine reflux into the prostate gland. Stimulating chemicals such as uric acid in urine induce prostatitis.
6. Mental and psychological factors: 50% of patients with non-bacterial chronic prostatitis have symptoms of anxiety, depression, fear, pessimism and other over-tension. Because of the incorrect understanding of prostate disease, many patients find it difficult to speak and bear it. Over time, it will form a bad psychological state.
Corresponding preventive health care recommendations:
1. Pay attention to rest and sleep, avoid sitting for a long time, control alcohol and spicy, regularly do anal exercises, do not hold urine and live regularly. These lifestyle adjustments are very important for the treatment of prostatitis.
2. Drink more water, and ensure that the amount of drinking water is 2000-3000ml per day.
3. Actively and thoroughly treat acute urogenital infection, such as acute prostatitis, acute epididymitis, acute seminal vesiculitis, etc.
4. Eliminate unclean sex and prevent infection of sexual organs.
5. The sex life is moderate. It is recommended to have sex once or twice a week.
6. Actively adjust your attitude and establish a positive and upward outlook on life.
Of course, if you find that you may have symptoms similar to prostatitis, you should go to the regular specialized hospital for medical treatment in time to avoid entering the misunderstanding (think that you can take some medicine to become inflammation-anti-inflammatory drugs - not cured - anti-inflammatory drugs again), delay the illness and cause serious physical and psychological damage to yourself.
