How to distinguish between cystitis and prostatitis?

In modern society, there are more and more male diseases, and many men do not know enough about the diseases, and often confuse the two most common diseases. Many men cannot distinguish between prostatitis and cystitis, so they do not receive timely treatment or preventive measures, because both diseases have symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination, and urgent urination. So many people get it wrong, what is the difference between the two diseases, let's find out.

The sites of onset and causes of prostatitis and cystitis are different. Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate. Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder. The causes of prostatitis are more complicated. Common pathogenic factors include pathogen infection, urination dysfunction, mental and psychological factors, neuroendocrine factors, abnormal immune response, oxidative stress theory, lower urinary tract epithelial dysfunction, etc. Cystitis is caused by specific and non-specific bacterial infections. Common pathogenic bacteria include E. coli, E. coli, Proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, etc.

There are also subtle differences in the clinical symptoms of prostatitis and cystitis. The main symptom of cystitis is obvious urinary tract irritation. Patients with cystitis will experience symptoms of urination discomfort such as frequent urination, urgent urination, and painful urination. Patients with severe conditions may have hematuria. The symptoms of prostatitis are relatively complex. In addition to the symptoms of urination discomfort such as frequent urination, urgent urination, and painful urination, there will also be perineal pain, sexual dysfunction and other neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as neurasthenia, insomnia and forgetfulness. In addition, prostatitis will also have symptoms such as white dripping after urination.

The treatment methods for prostatitis and cystitis are also different. Compared with cystitis, prostatitis is more harmful. Prostatitis is mainly treated with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics. However, general cystitis does not require drug treatment. Patients only need to rest properly, drink plenty of water to increase urine volume, and pay attention to nutrition.
