The "secret recipe" for curing prostatitis lies in oneself

Prostatitis has become a secret that many men cannot talk about. Many men are even afraid of prostatitis. When they mention prostatitis, they think of sexual dysfunction, male infertility, abstinence, and the difficulty in curing it. It may even lead to prostate cancer. Are the consequences of prostatitis so serious?

“Avoiding seeing a doctor when sick”: Can prostatitis be cured by a wife going to see a doctor on behalf of her husband?

The economic and employment pressures are so great that many young people have also suffered from what everyone thinks is "middle-aged and elderly disease". There are many meetings and great pressure. They often sit in meetings for several hours without even time to go to the bathroom. How can they not get sick in such a working state? Unfortunately, after getting sick, patients are shy about treatment. "Avoiding seeing a doctor" is a very common phenomenon. When patients first receive treatment, they often buy medicine randomly or go to some informal medical institutions that they think no one will see. There are also wives who register for urology appointments to help their husbands with medical treatment.

Men tend to ignore minor ailments and are particularly concerned about their reputation. They are afraid of being rejected and losing power, and have an indifferent attitude towards their own health. If they have any problems, they tend to deny, conceal, or hypnotize themselves. What is particularly dangerous in recent years is that young people nowadays know how to use the Internet and even "diagnose" and "medicate" themselves. Some even use some folk remedies for treatment, which in turn leads to serious consequences.

Can prostatitis be cured?

Is chronic prostatitis incurable? This is a question that patients are more worried about. From a medical perspective, chronic prostatitis can be cured. As long as you feel that the symptoms have disappeared and go to the hospital for a checkup and find that there are no symptoms, doctors believe that it is clinically cured. One of the important reasons why people think that this disease is difficult to get rid of is that it is easy to relapse, but this is mostly related to the timely correction of some bad living habits, just like a cold will happen if you are not careful. In addition, due to "face" reasons, it has not been treated correctly and in time, causing huge mental pressure and affecting the cure. Therefore, the idea of ​​requiring doctors to "eradicate" it through treatment is unscientific. The "secret recipe" that can really "eradicate" it is not in the hands of doctors but in the hands of patients themselves.

Prostatitis has nothing to do with cancer, and infertility is not high!

Prostate infection is considered to be one of the factors of male infertility, but the proportion is not as high as imagined. According to relevant data, the incidence of infertility caused by chronic prostatitis (CP) is only 5%-25%. If prostatitis can cause infertility, it should be very serious. Generally speaking, except for some acute prostatitis that is not treated in time, resulting in blockage of the vas deferens, or some long-term and serious inflammation, which greatly affects the secretion function of the prostate, resulting in abnormal sperm liquefaction and sperm motility, infertility will occur.

As for the issue of carcinogenesis, general prostatitis has nothing to do with prostate cancer. Only when prostatitis attacks for a long time and repeatedly can it promote the occurrence of cancer, but there is currently no effective evidence to support this.

In addition, in life, many men who suffer from prostate hyperplasia think that they should not have sex anymore, as it will only aggravate the condition. In fact, it is not necessary for men with prostate hyperplasia to abstain from sex. Proper sex and sperm discharge can help dredge the prostate. Excessive abstinence will make it impossible to satisfy desires and discharge sexual accumulation, resulting in increased sensitivity of the external genitalia, causing erections, and more likely to cause repeated congestion of the prostate, aggravating prostate hyperplasia.

Misuse of antibiotics can lead to drug resistance!

Antibiotics are frequently used therapeutic drugs by clinicians, but this can easily lead to the abuse or irregular use of antibiotics in the treatment of chronic prostatitis. Nearly 60% of patients who first experience CP symptoms in the early stages of treatment respond well to simple antibiotic treatment, but strictly speaking, antibiotic treatment is only effective for bacterial prostatitis, and this type of I+II prostatitis only accounts for 5%-10%. In other words, frequent and long-term use of antibiotics is of little significance, and can also lead to drug resistance, imbalance of the body's flora, and decreased immunity, so it should be used with caution.

Prostate massage alone has no significant therapeutic effect!

Prostate massage is one of the traditional treatment methods. Studies have shown that proper prostate massage can promote the emptying of prostate gland ducts and increase local drug concentration, thereby relieving the symptoms of patients with chronic prostatitis. However, some studies have shown that the application of prostate massage alone has no significant therapeutic effect, and its effectiveness needs to be further studied and confirmed.

Therefore, it is recommended that in addition to drug treatment, patients should pay attention to daily health care, maintain a good mood, eat light food, quit smoking and drinking, avoid spicy food; live a regular life, combine work and rest, and prevent fatigue; drink plenty of water but do not hold urine, avoid sitting for a long time, do appropriate activities, and maintain good sexual psychology/sexual hygiene. In addition, hot water bath therapy has a certain health care effect.
