What is the difference between bacterial prostatitis and non-bacterial prostatitis?

There is a big difference between bacterial prostatitis and non-bacterial prostatitis. Bacterial prostatitis is caused by the invasion of bacteria due to drinking a lot of alcohol on a daily basis. Once the infection occurs through sex or sexual life, the other party will also be infected. Patients with urinary tract infection cannot have sex, which will cause the other party to be infected. Non-bacterial prostatitis will not be infected. Usually, there will only be frequent urination and urgency. Let's learn about their treatment methods.

Prevention

1. Avoid excessive sexual activity or abuse of aphrodisiacs;

2. Avoid frequent interruptions in sexual intercourse or withholding ejaculation;

3. Avoid long-term cessation of sexual life;

4. Avoid eating too much spicy food and drinking too much alcohol. Chinese medicine treatment for nonbacterial prostatitis

Compared with prostatitis caused by bacterial infection, the treatment of nonbacterial prostatitis is more difficult and the course of the disease is significantly longer, so many people seek help from traditional Chinese medicine. Generally speaking, traditional Chinese medicine usually uses dialectical treatment to treat nonbacterial prostatitis. Today, experts from Xi'an Men's Hospital will introduce the traditional Chinese medicine dialectical treatment of nonbacterial prostatitis in detail.

1: Wet-heat agglomeration type.

Patients often have symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, burning and stinging pain in the urethra, distending pain and discomfort in the perineum, white droplets at the end of urine, red tongue, yellow and greasy tongue coating, and slippery and rapid pulse. Microscopic examination of prostatic fluid shows an increase in the number of white blood cells (pus cells may also be present), and bacterial growth is often found in prostatic fluid culture.

In treatment, drugs that clear heat and promote diuresis should be used, such as 15 grams each of Hedyotis diffusa, dandelion, and safflower, 10 grams each of Phellodendron, Smilax glabra, honeysuckle, Lianhuan, and Polygonum cuspidatum, 5 grams each of licorice, Akebia, and Rhubarb, and 30 grams each of Eclipta prostrata and Imperata root. Patients can decoct the above medicines and take one dose a day in two doses.

2: Qi and blood stasis type.

Most patients have obvious tingling in the perineum, pain extending to the lower abdomen, testicles, penis and lumbar region, dribbling urine, purple tongue or petechiae, slow or astringent pulse, etc. The results of prostate fluid microscopy show a small or moderate amount of pus cells.

In the above article, we learned the difference between bacterial prostatitis and non-bacterial prostatitis. First of all, if we want to distinguish these two diseases, we still need to undergo medical examinations to confirm the diagnosis. We can use traditional Chinese medicine to treat them and prevent bacterial infection.
