According to relevant data, among the "accidents" in andrology, the prostate gland is the most frightened and misled andrology disease.
1. Do you have symptoms of low back pain and tummy swelling
2. Are there any symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, or pain in urination
3. Whether there are symptoms of urethral burning and dripping white at the urethral orifice
4. Is there any phenomenon of incomplete urination, bifurcated urinary lines, and yellow urine
5. Whether there are symptoms of perineal pain and testicular pain
6. Whether there are symptoms of functional decline, mental fatigue, and fatigue
7. Are there any symptoms of dampness or itching of the perineum and scrotum
8. Are there any symptoms of dizziness, insomnia, and dreaminess
If you have any of the three types of symptoms mentioned above, you can take a hot water sitz bath 1-2 times a day, with the water temperature maintained at about 50 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes each time for several consecutive days. If you find that the symptoms have decreased or disappeared, you may likely suffer from chronic prostatitis.
Misunderstanding of prostate disease
Misunderstanding 1
Don't check if there are no symptoms
The incidence rate of prostate cancer in China is much lower than that in western countries, but in recent years the incidence rate and mortality are increasing. Compared to other cancers, prostate cancer develops relatively slowly, but its early symptoms are not obvious, making it difficult to detect in time and perform radical surgery.
Because most patients have no specific manifestations, elderly people need to go to a specialized hospital every year to check their prostate health, including digital anal examination, prostate specific antigen (PSA), and ultrasound examination.
Mistake zone 2
"Hypertrophy" diagnosed in their 20s
Prostatic hyperplasia is what people call hypertrophy of the prostate. Outpatients often encounter patients in their 20s who come to the hospital and say where they have seen them. The doctor diagnosed them as hypertrophy of the prostate.
"The prostate gland grows with age and requires a long period of accumulation. Prostate hyperplasia is rarely present in young people, and men generally do not develop prostate hypertrophy until after the age of 40 to 50.". Histological studies have found that the probability of men aged 50 years suffering from prostate hypertrophy is 50%, the probability of men aged 60 years is 60%, the probability of men aged 70 years is 70%, and the probability of men aged over 80 years is almost 100%.
Mistake 3
Don't dare to get married with prostatitis
Prostatitis is mainly seen in young and middle-aged men, and the incidence rate of prostatitis is about 30% in men aged 20 to 50. Poor living habits, coupled with the lack of timely and correct treatment, have led to various views on prostatitis in society. It is falsely advertised that prostatitis can lead to "three steps" of impotence, infertility, and prostate cancer, and some patients are so frightened that they dare not even marry.
