What is the effect of drinking alcohol on prostatitis?

Nowadays, many people have the habit of drinking. Drinking a small amount occasionally will not cause much harm, and may even have some benefits. However, if you drink for a long time, it will be very harmful to your health. Drinking a lot for a long time will cause many diseases in the body. For example, drinking is very harmful to the liver. It is worth mentioning that if men drink a lot for a long time, it will also have a great impact on prostatitis.

Effects of drinking on prostatitis:

1. In the treatment of prostatitis, repeated and large-scale use of broad-spectrum antibiotics leads to dysbiosis of the body's flora and decreased immunity. This causes the proliferation of pathogens, fungi, and microorganisms that were not originally pathogenic, becoming the source of inducing new infections or aggravating existing infections. For example, patients with non-gonococcal urethritis who use large amounts of antibiotics develop fungal vaginitis or fungal glansitis.

2. When treating prostatitis, most people first choose to use Western medicine alone. Although it can relieve some symptoms, with the development of drug resistance of bacteria, pathogens, and microorganisms, it is impossible to control the disease and it is difficult to achieve a complete cure.

3. Some drugs, especially Western medicine, have serious side effects. In addition, some hospitals advocate large doses and overtime use of drugs, which cause obvious liver and kidney damage, leading to the regret of "treating one meridian and damaging another". The more patients are treated, the weaker they become, the more they suffer, their physical quality rapidly declines, and their prostate condition worsens.

4. Patients blindly seek medical treatment without selection and buy medicine privately, which delays the treatment of prostatitis and makes the condition worse, resulting in disappointment of seeking medical treatment everywhere and failing to get cured.

5. Bad habits of the patient. Some patients accidentally get infected with prostatitis, but fail to receive standardized treatment or do not pay attention to strengthening physical exercise, adjusting their lifestyle, excessive sex life, or staying up late and drinking alcohol frequently during treatment, which will increase the difficulty of prostate treatment.

6. Some patients only pay attention to their own treatment and ignore the treatment of their sexual partners. Once they have sexual intercourse with their sexual partners, a vicious cycle of infection-treatment-reinfection-retreatment is formed.

7. Treat the occurrence and development of prostatitis in a fragmented way, only considering the local inflammation. Not paying attention to the overall adjustment of the patient, and trying to improve the imbalance of the body's internal environment. Blindly treating the symptoms will not achieve the effect of curing the root cause.

8. For patients with prepuce that is too long or phimosis, the foreskin cavity is moist, and its temperature and humidity are conducive to the growth and retention of pathogens, and they are prone to glansitis and urethritis. Some patients may also have urethral stenosis. During urination, the pressure in the urethra increases, causing the pathogens in the urethra to flow retrogradely with the urine. This may also be part of the reason why chronic prostatitis recurs repeatedly and is difficult to cure. The effect of treating prostatitis after circumcision is significantly better than that of patients who have not undergone circumcision.

If the treatment of prostatitis with Western medicine fails to produce satisfactory results, it is necessary to receive systematic treatment with Chinese medicine in a timely manner and take adequate medication. This is to avoid the disease from turning into chronic prostatitis, which will cause the patient to bear the huge psychological pressure and mental burden of long-term treatment. Chinese medicine treatment has the advantages of flexible syndrome differentiation, large degree of freedom in changing the formula, treatment according to the disease, treatment according to the person, treatment of both the symptoms and the root cause, no recurrence after recovery, and cure the root cause.
