For male friends, suffering from prostatitis is a very tragic event. Because prostatitis, in addition to causing embarrassing symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, impotence, and premature ejaculation, treatment is also very difficult and troublesome.
According to a rough estimate, more than 80% of prostatitis patients have experienced secondary treatment.
Speaking of this, some patients with prostatitis, especially those with chronic prostatitis, may be tempted to ask: Why is prostatitis so difficult to treat? Prostatitis, why can't it be cured once?
To be precise, there are three main factors that can truly determine the therapeutic effect of prostatitis:
1. The level of the attending physician;
2. Advantages and disadvantages of treatment methods;
3. The patient's own awareness.
Therefore, as long as we "choose the right attending physician", "choose the right treatment method", and "develop good personal habits," prostatitis is difficult to treat without curing!
1. Select the right attending physician.
At present, the development level of medicine has not yet reached the level of "comprehensive treatment of all diseases" and "effective treatment of all diseases", especially for (chronic) prostatitis, such chronic diseases (WeChat, there is no possibility of "complete cure" or "100% complete cure".
Therefore, when there is an attending physician who is very confident and very clear about telling you that he can ensure that your prostatitis is "completely cured" or "100% completely cured", it is recommended that you stay away from such an attending physician. Because the beautiful promise made by such an attending doctor for you is impossible to achieve at this stage.
To put it bluntly, you should choose an attending physician with solid professional knowledge, rich clinical experience, objectivity, pragmatism, and seeking truth from facts, rather than a "speaker" who hastily draws conclusions, overstates words, makes promises, and talks big!
2. Choose the right treatment.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current treatment methods for prostatitis are more complex than the prostatitis disease itself. Even many senior doctors cannot remember clearly or completely what microwave, short wave, ultrasound, lumen intervention, traditional Chinese medicine enema, antibiotic injection, plus extracorporeal microwave, extracorporeal short wave, extracorporeal ultrasound, rectal microwave, rectal short wave, and rectal ultrasound are.
In terms of effectiveness, currently common clinical methods for the treatment of prostatitis are indeed very good for the temporary relief of symptoms. For example, various physical hyperthermia methods such as microwave hyperthermia, short wave hyperthermia, ultrasonic hyperthermia, and so on, can be treated immediately, and symptoms can be alleviated immediately.
Of course, these are only short-term effects.
Like other tissues in the human body, the prostate is also composed of proteins. After long-term physical hyperthermia, it is easy to cause denaturation and coagulation of prostate constituent proteins under relatively high temperature cauterization, thereby accelerating the aging and necrosis of prostate gland tissue. Therefore, from a long-term perspective, long-term physical hyperthermia treatment often results in more gains than losses.
Other treatment methods, such as transurethral antibiotic injection and transperineal antibiotic injection, can directly cause mechanical damage to the prostate while preventing bacteria and inflammation. Even if previous inflammation can be eliminated, corresponding inflammation will still occur in the repair process of new wounds.
In addition, mechanical damage to the prostate can cause calcified scars that are prone to accumulation of dirt and dirt in the corresponding areas after repair, which can also easily lead to repeated prostatitis.
Therefore, for prostatitis, we should try to choose non-invasive, non-invasive and conservative treatment methods, such as traditional Chinese medicine treatment, oral antibiotics, and intravenous antibiotic infusion (only for bacterial prostatitis). Even if the effect is limited, there will not be too much side effects.
Develop good personal habits.
Due to the close relationship between the occurrence of prostatitis and personal habits, such as long-term sitting, frequent doing those movements, excessive sexual activity, and excessive consumption of spicy and stimulating foods, it is also crucial to develop good personal habits during the treatment of prostatitis.
Of course, good personal habits, in addition to eliminating the above-mentioned bad personal habits, also include some practical and beneficial behaviors for the rehabilitation of prostatitis, such as selectively eating fresh, juicy, zinc rich, lycopene rich fruits and vegetables, and selectively engaging in squatting, rope skipping, running, mountain climbing, and other lower limb sports that are more involved.
