Does prostatitis need treatment? Prostate is a unique organ of men, and prostatitis can occur in men from puberty to old age; Prostatitis is not progressive. From this point of view, it can be observed without treatment; Prostatitis can also affect life treatment and can be treated according to symptoms.
Prostatitis can not be treated, which is from the perspective that the disease is not progressive. For men, prostatitis is just like a cold and fever. It is a very common disease with a high incidence rate. The data showed that the prevalence of prostatitis in Asian men aged 20 to 79 was 2.7% to 8.7%; Prostatitis patients account for 8%~25% of the urological outpatients; About 50% of men will be disturbed by prostatitis at some time in their lives. However, the essential feature of chronic prostatitis is that there is no clear progression, which is not enough to threaten the life of patients and the function of important organs. Therefore, chronic prostatitis should not be turned pale by talking about it, and should not be expanded. Otherwise, small problems will be exaggerated, and will inevitably lead to the wrong way of massive medication and over-treatment. In clinical practice, there is almost no doctor to treat prostatitis, which shows that prostatitis has no important characteristic of progressiveness.
Prostatitis can be treated from the perspective of disease treatment objectives. What we treat clinically is disease, not the number on the test sheet, let alone the number on the test sheet. If the symptoms caused by prostatitis (symptoms of prostatitis mainly include perineal discomfort; urgency of urination, frequency of urination, etc.; pain after orgasm, frequent ejaculation; premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction indirectly caused by psychological influence) have an impact on the quality of life of patients, they can be treated, but they do not advocate the use of expensive treatment methods, because prostatitis is essentially a disease without progression; If prostatitis has no symptoms or has little impact on the quality of life of patients, it can be completely observed.
