Do I need treatment for chronic prostatitis?

Many people are not aware of chronic prostatitis. In fact, this disease is not that scary. Many people think that their condition is not serious and does not need treatment. Some people go to the hospital for treatment as soon as any abnormality occurs. So, does chronic prostatitis need treatment? This depends on the patient's condition. In fact, if all patients come for diagnosis, some need treatment, but the number of such patients is not large. Many do not need treatment. Let me introduce it to you below.

Once a man has urinary symptoms including frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty urinating, as well as pain in the pubic area, perineum, and other pelvic areas, it means that chronic prostatitis has begun to attack. It can affect adult men of all ages, but the incidence rate is higher in adult men under 50 years old. Its onset may be related to season, diet, sexual life, urogenital tract inflammation, benign prostatic hyperplasia or lower urinary tract symptoms, occupation, socioeconomic status, and psychological factors.

Chronic prostatitis is a very common disease that does not threaten life or affect organ function. Just like the common cold, it may go away in two days if it breaks out today. Therefore, patients whose symptoms are not particularly severe, have little impact on their quality of life, and whose symptoms are significantly alleviated after long-term treatment but still have residual symptoms do not need treatment. Just like having a common cold and just having a stuffy nose, who would make a big fuss about taking medicine and wait until it is completely cured?

Of course, we understand that some patients are so afraid of chronic prostatitis because they worry that it will damage sexual function and fertility, which are the "vital points" of men. In fact, this idea is unnecessary. The impact of this disease on sexual function is mostly psychological - you are always worried that it will be bad for your sex life, and as a result, some small mistakes really happen because of anxiety. In addition, although chronic prostatitis may affect the semen quality of some patients, it does not necessarily cause infertility, and patients can still have children normally.

However, even if no treatment is needed, patients still need to pay attention to health care in daily life: quit drinking, quit spicy food, drink plenty of water, keep the pelvic area warm, don't hold urine, don't sit for a long time, have regular sex, don't stay away from sex because of worrying about the disease, and don't indulge blindly. In addition, patients should also cultivate more hobbies, such as exercise, reading, playing chess... This can divert attention. Think about it, when you are fully immersed in the fun brought by your hobbies, then what does a little "minor illness" count for? Is it really worth your concern?

The above content introduces the question of whether chronic prostatitis needs treatment. It seems that the conditions of many people are not as serious as imagined. Many cases do not require treatment. Just take good care of yourself and pay attention to observation. However, for men, whether they are sick or healthy, they should pay attention to developing good living habits, which will be very beneficial to themselves.
