Unlike acute prostatitis, chronic prostatitis does not appear suddenly, but it appears repeatedly for a long time. Although it is not life-threatening, it is recognized by the medical community that it is difficult to cure and easy to relapse, and many patients will bring it into old age.
Eliminating tension helps alleviate symptoms
The cause of chronic prostatitis to avoid stress is still controversial, but it is generally affirmed by doctors that eliminating patients' stress will help alleviate the disease.
British scientist Miller found in his study that prostatitis patients have different levels of stress factors when their symptoms worsen, such as overwork, fatigue, anxiety, etc. Miller pointed out that the treatment of chronic prostatitis with behavioral therapy to eliminate stress is definitely beneficial.
Domestic statistics also found that 65% of chronic prostatitis patients are middle-level managers and business backbones, especially male middle-level managers over 35 years old. After entering middle age, their social responsibilities increase, and their mental pressure also increases. Therefore, it is particularly important for patients with chronic prostatitis to make psychological adjustment.
Another special discovery in recent years is that among chronic prostatitis patients, car drivers with less mental stress also account for a large proportion and are not easy to cure. Urology experts explained from a physiological point of view that sedentary can slow blood circulation and directly lead to perineal and prostate congestion.
Chronic inflammation is easy to induce prostate cancer
Chronic prostatitis can also induce prostate cancer by eating less animal fat. In countries where meat and dairy products are the staple foods, the incidence rate of prostate cancer is higher than that in countries where rice and vegetables are the staple foods. Among them, men who eat a lot of fat, especially animal fat from red meat, are most likely to cause prostate cancer. Therefore, the incidence of prostate cancer is high in Europe and the United States. In China, with the change of dietary structure, the National People's Congress has increased the intake of dairy and meat products. In recent years, the incidence rate of prostate cancer in China has increased year by year.
