What should you pay attention to before checking for prostatitis?

Prostatitis is a common male disease that affects male fertility and sexual harmony. It requires timely treatment. Prostatitis is prone to recurrence, so men need to pay attention to the hygiene and frequency of their sexual life. When men have prostatitis, they should drink plenty of water, refrain from masturbation and sexual intercourse before the examination, and also pay attention to a light diet and avoid driving for long periods of time.

Things to note before the test: Do not have sexual intercourse or masturbate within 3-7 days before the test. If bacterial culture is required, do not urinate on the morning of the test or within three hours before the test. During the treatment, you should be careful not to sit for a long time, such as riding a car, driving a car, playing cards, playing mahjong, etc.; do not eat spicy and hot foods such as peppers, garlic, dog meat, mutton and beef; do not have sex more than 2 times a week, avoid unsafe sex; do not drink alcohol, including red wine and beer; strengthen physical fitness, and strengthening physical fitness will also help with treatment.

How to diagnose

1. Most patients take the knee-chest position or lithotomy position. If the patient is seriously ill or weak, the side-lying position can also be taken.

2. The doctor wears gloves or finger cots and applies vaseline or liquid wax on the fingertips.

3. In the knee-chest position, support the patient's left shoulder or buttocks with your left hand, and gently massage the anus with your right index finger to help the patient adapt to the massage, so as to avoid sudden tension of the anal sphincter. Then slowly insert your finger into the anus, and when the fingertip enters the anus wall about 5 cm away from the anus, you can touch the prostate, and pay attention to the shape and changes of the prostate.

4. When massaging the prostate, use the distal ends of your fingers to slowly massage inward and forward, about 4-5 times on each side. Then move your hands to the upper part of the gland and squeeze downward along the median groove. This way, the prostatic fluid can be discharged from the urethra and a sample can be collected for testing.

Notes

1. The indications for prostate massage should be clear. It is generally used for chronic prostatitis. Massage is contraindicated if tuberculosis, abscess or tumor is suspected.

2. The force used during massage should be even and appropriate. If it is too light, the prostate fluid cannot be expelled, and if it is too heavy, it will cause pain.

3. Massage should be performed in a certain direction and should not be performed back and forth. Unreasonable techniques often lead to failure of the examination.

4. If a massage fails or the test result is negative, it needs to be repeated after 3-5 days if there are clinical indications.

harm

1. Weakened male sexual ability: Prostatitis can cause the male's sexual nerves and nerve centers to be frequently excited. However, if they remain in an excited state for a long time, it can easily lead to the suppression of male sexual arousal, thus inducing male sexual dysfunction.

2. Induce gynecological diseases in women: Due to some bacterial infections that induce prostatitis in men, it is easy for these bacteria to enter the female reproductive organs during sexual intercourse, causing women to be infected and induce gynecological inflammation.

3. Endocrine disorders: The prostate of a normal man can secrete a variety of active substances, but suffering from prostatitis can easily affect the secretions, leading to endocrine disorders in men, causing symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue in men.

4. Life and work are affected: Men suffering from prostatitis may experience frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination, which often cause patients to lose control of their emotions and become anxious, thus affecting their normal life and work.

5. Infection of other adjacent organs: If prostatitis is not treated for a long time, it is easy for the inflammation in men to spread, thereby infecting adjacent organs and inducing the occurrence of inflammation.
