Why does chronic prostatitis produce psychological and psychiatric symptoms?

Since chronic prostatitis is one of the most common male diseases, there is a lot of information about this disease on the Internet. However, a lot of information is exaggerated, describing chronic prostatitis as a very serious disease, which increases the psychological burden on patients.

This disease is actually just like a cold, and in some cases it can heal itself without treatment. However, due to the lack of correct knowledge about this disease, people feel very nervous. They worry about whether it will cause infertility, affect sexual function, and cause tumors in severe cases. Therefore, they are very afraid of this disease.

The causes of chronic prostatitis are complex, and the treatment effect is sometimes not obvious. Patients often see many doctors repeatedly and go to different hospitals to find many doctors, but the treatment effect is not particularly ideal, so patients become nervous, anxious and depressed. This psychological factor in turn aggravates the symptoms of prostatitis, forming a vicious circle.

How to deal with the psychological symptoms caused by chronic prostatitis?

Psychotherapy is very important in the treatment of chronic prostatitis. It is a method of comprehensive treatment. General doctors can provide certain psychological counseling to patients and cultivate their correct understanding of the disease. For patients with severe psychological symptoms, they need the help of professional psychological counselors, professional drug treatment, scientific use of anti-anxiety and anti-depressant drugs, and counseling therapy by professional psychologists, which will be of great help to patients in relieving and treating psychological symptoms.

In addition to necessary drug treatment, lifestyle adjustments are also required for the treatment of chronic prostatitis. Pay attention to diet and consume less alcohol, spicy and irritating foods, and seafood, which are high in uric acid. Try to avoid sitting or riding a bicycle for long periods of time, as these behaviors will cause prostate congestion and are not good for prostate health. Exercise should be strengthened, and good exercise such as swimming, mountain climbing, Tai Chi, and walking are all good lifestyles.
