How to treat prostate

The prostate is an important organ for men and is also prone to health problems. For example, prostatitis is a disease with a high incidence rate among men. Prostatitis will cause great pain to patients, so it is necessary to treat it in time. So, what are the treatments for prostatitis? Here is a detailed introduction to the relevant knowledge about prostatitis!

1. How to treat prostate

There are many treatment methods for prostatitis. In addition to the familiar drugs and surgical treatment methods, the positive effects of microwave, shortwave and ultrashortwave, massage and other prostatitis treatment methods in the treatment of prostatitis should not be ignored. Because different prostatitis treatment methods have their own advantages and disadvantages and indications, it is necessary to pay attention to the combination of the patient's condition. In addition, while using medical methods to treat prostatitis, daily care and health care should not be ignored.

2. Causes of prostatitis

Only a few patients have an acute history, and most of them present with chronic, prostatitis, and recurrent symptoms. The main pathogenic factors of type I and type II prostatitis are pathogenic infection, mainly Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Pathogens invade the prostate with urine, causing infection. Pathological anatomy confirms that prostatitis lesions are generally limited to the peripheral zone, where the glandular duct opens in the posterior urethra in the opposite direction of the vertical line of urine flow, which is easy to cause urine reflux, while the glandular ducts in the central zone and transitional zone are consistent with the direction of urine flow, and are not easy to be infected.

The prostate has as many as 15 to 30 ducts opening on both sides of the seminal colliculus, and the prostate epithelium has a strong secretory function. The gland is small but the secretory function is strong, and the ducts are narrow, which causes the prostate to be compressed and blocked under the influence of various factors, which can easily cause congestion and secretion accumulation, thus creating conditions for infection. This is also the histological basis for the easy recurrence of prostatitis. Excessive sexual activity, excessive masturbation, long-term sitting, riding a bicycle, riding a horse, alcoholism, excessive spicy food, colds, etc. can all become its inducing factors.

3. Clinical manifestations of prostatitis

Type I prostatitis often develops suddenly, with symptoms such as chills, fever, fatigue, and other systemic symptoms, accompanied by pain in the perineum and pubic area, frequent urination, urgency, rectal irritation, and even acute urinary retention.

The clinical symptoms of type II and type III prostatitis are similar, mostly with pain and abnormal urination. Regardless of the type of chronic prostatitis, similar clinical symptoms can be manifested, collectively referred to as prostatitis syndrome, including pelvic and sacral pain, abnormal urination and sexual dysfunction. Pelvic and sacral pain is extremely complex. The pain is generally located above the pubic bone, lumbosacral region and perineum. Radiating pain can manifest as pain in the urethra, spermatic cord, testicles, groin, and inner side of the abdomen. It radiates to the abdomen and resembles acute abdominal pain. It radiates along the urinary tract and resembles renal colic, which often leads to misdiagnosis. Abnormal urination is manifested as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, sluggish urination, bifurcated urine stream, dripping after urination, increased frequency of nocturia, and milky white secretions from the urethra after urination or during defecation. Occasionally, sexual dysfunction may occur, including decreased libido, premature ejaculation, painful ejaculation, weak erections, and impotence.
