The consensus among modern people on prostatitis is:
Prostatitis is too difficult to cure, and some exaggerate it as a "non cancer incurable disease", causing people to turn pale when talking about "prostatitis" and avoid it. In fact, "prostatitis" is similar to the respiratory system of the human body, often "catching a cold". Timely intervention can cure it. If there is no timely medical intervention, similar to "bronchitis, pneumonia, emphysema, tuberculosis", there will be caruncle inflammation, chronic prostatic ductitis, prostatic fibrosis, prostatic cysts, prostate stones, ejaculatory duct inflammation, ejaculatory duct obstruction dilation, seminal vesiculitis, etc Therefore, we can jokingly refer to "prostatitis" as "prostate cold".
Due to the characteristic of prostatitis being prone to recurring attacks from time to time, there have been some negative theories of excessive medical treatment and intimidation by specialized hospitals and doctors in society, as well as media blindly following and exaggerating its harm Demonizing prostatitis.
In order to further clarify the theory of "prostatitis"="prostate cold", I will slowly elaborate on "demonized prostatitis" with everyone. Relieve the public's misunderstanding and obsession with prostatitis.
The prostate is one of the important gonadal organs unique to men, the size of which is like an inverted "chestnut". The upper part is adjacent to the bladder, and the posterior part is adjacent to the ampulla of the seminal vesicle ejaculatory tube. A wide posterior urethra passes through the middle of the prostate. The ejaculatory tube from the ampulla of the seminal vesicle merges and continues to form the ejaculatory tube, and then passes through the posterior part of the prostate, opening in the seminal caruncle area of the urethra. The urinary tract continues below, with the pubic symphysis in front and the rectum attached behind. So, transrectal digital examination can touch the prostate gland (as shown in the picture) The clinical manifestations of prostatitis are concentrated in the areas above, below, and behind the pubic bone in the lower abdomen, as well as in the perineum, anus, urethra, and reproductive tract.
Prostate blood circulation:
The blood supply is mainly from the branches of inferior vesical artery and rectoperineal artery. Most of the prostatic venous reflux flows into the internal iliac vein through the reflux, which is the same as the middle rectal venous plexus. Therefore, the rectal tamponade is mainly placed at the middle rectal venous plexus (as shown in the figure). Otherwise, it will be inactivated through liver circulation.
The prostate is composed of 30-50 vesicular glands of varying shapes and sizes, as well as surrounding smooth muscle, fibrous tissue, etc. These ducts are then graded and collected to form 16-32 ducts, which finally open to the urethral crest and seminal vesicle on both sides of the posterior urethra. If the prostate and its surrounding tissue areas are affected, resulting in local edema, injury, infection, scar, etc., which makes the local prostatic fluid drainage impeded, the components of prostatic fluid are slowly absorbed, coagulated and calcified, which is one of the conditions for B-ultrasound examination report "prostate calcification or prostate stones" - diagnosis of "prostatitis".
The prostate has endocrine and exocrine functions. The prostate of normal adults weighs about 5-10g, and can secrete about 2ml of prostatic fluid every day, which is rich in lecithin, zinc, calcium and other electrolytes of various enzymes. Prostatic fluid is the main component of men's semen, accounting for about 1/3 of the ejaculated semen, and plays a very important role in the normal function of sperm; In addition, the secretion of prostatic fluid is regulated by male hormones, so it is very important for men's sexual life and fertility - "prostatitis" affects fertility.
And every 5-7 days, the testicles continuously produce many sperm, which are stored in the epididymis (a man's ammunition warehouse) next to the testicles. After more than 7 days, the sperm is not expelled and gradually evolves from a "little tadpole" to an "ice and snow toad", quickly aging, liquefying and being absorbed This is the fourth requirement of the "8 Elements for Preventing Prostatitis" summarized by experts: Regular sexual activity: generally 1-2 times a week for healthy sexual activity, and it is best to wear a condom during the onset of prostatitis. In this way, it can promote the metabolism of the prostate and other reproductive tracts, using the theory of input and output. For those who abstain, the prostate is like a stagnant pool of water, even more "foul smelling".
Prostatitis is one of the common diseases in men, ranking first among male patients under the age of 50 in the urology department. In recent years, with the rapid development of the domestic economy and the stimulation of adverse environmental factors, as well as various pressures from life, work, economy, and family, the population with prostatitis has become younger, more diverse, more complex, and overly understood. The prostate gland also follows the "wind and rain" of the human body, undergoing a physiological evolution of self balancing due to self imbalance. Like stroke, it mainly manifests as changes in functional status, changes in local anatomical structure, and the evolution of neuropsychiatric imbalances.
In fact, the early imbalance of prostate function, anatomy, and autonomic nervous system in the vast majority of prostatitis is similar to human upper respiratory tract infections, which can also be referred to as the "prostate cold". It can be cured through simple rehabilitation treatment and the body's self stabilizing system. Prostatitis patients can greatly reduce their recurrence rate by fulfilling the "8 elements to prevent recurrence of prostatitis".
