"Why does my prostatitis always get better and keep going over and over again? I have followed the doctor's advice** and paid attention to my lifestyle habits, but the symptoms still appear from time to time, what is going on? This is a question that can often be heard by patients in the clinic.
1. What is prostatitis? What harm does it cause to the patient?
Inflammation is the body's defense response to various injuries, infections, or other stimuli. It is a series of complex biological processes initiated by the immune system to remove damaging factors and promote healing. Inflammation can be acute or chronic.
Chronic inflammation is an ongoing, low-grade state of inflammation that can last weeks, months, or even years. Chronic inflammation may be due to incomplete resolution of acute inflammation or due to persistent irritation (e.g., prolonged exposure to harmful substances, chronic infection, or autoimmune diseases). Chronic inflammation has been linked to many diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and arthritis, among others.
WhileProstatitisAs the name suggests, the prostate is an organ that is inflamed, and the clinical manifestations are diverse, and the symptoms may be different for each person, usually manifested as the following:
1. It will have ** and pelvic pain, which may radiate to **, groin, suprapubic area, lower back or back.
2. Symptoms of urinary tract irritation, such as frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, increased frequency of nocturia and white urine.
3. Symptoms of urination obstruction, such as waiting to urinate, thinning of the urine line, labored urination, dripping urine and incomplete urination.
4. Sexual dysfunction, such as erectile dysfunction, pain, spermatozoa and hematospermia.
5. Psychoneurological symptoms, such as insomnia, anxiety, nervousness and memory loss.
The condition is usually not seriousHowever, it will continue to bother patients and affect their work, life, and sleep. And the course of the disease is long, **difficult, even after recovery**.
Second, medicine has been so developed, why can't chronic prostatitis be completely **, always repeated, and the ghost lingers?
1. The "neighborhood" relationship of prostatitis is complex
The prostate gland is located in the pelvis and is tightly encased by other tissues, the upper part of which is connected to the bladder neck, the bottom of which is in contact with the urogenital diaphragm, the anterior side of which is close to the pubic symphysis, the posterior side of which is close to the rectum, and the two lobes are adjacent to the seminal vesicles and the ampulla of the vas deferens. As a result, prostatitis often coexists with diseases of peripheral organs, such as vesiculitis, epididymitis, vasectomy, and posterior urethritisInfluence each other, cause and effect each other, resulting in chronic prostatitis.
2. Communicate with the outside world and be susceptible to the invasion of diseases
The prostate gland is located behind the urethra and is the last barrier before urine is excreted from the body, communicating directly with the outside world. Due to its unique anatomical location,The prostate gland has become the "front line" for bacterial and viral infections of the urinary tract。The urethra itself does not have a bactericidal function, so the prostate gland is the first target for bacterial and viral invasion. Therefore, if you do not pay attention to personal hygiene,**Improper washing (phimosis, long foreskin can easily lead to bacterial growth), or local infection (such as**posthitis, eczema, etc.), unclean** behavior, etccan be causedThe disease travels up the urethra, invades the prostate, causing prostatitis to come and go.
3. The prostate's own glandular duct channel is easy to be blocked
The prostate gland is made up of 30 to 50 complex vesicular glands that converge into 15 to 30 ducts that open into the urethra, each with numerous and blind ends. Therefore,Secretions in the acinar are more likely to be blocked, and the ductal passages are often not excreted properly and are stagnant, such a one".Greenhouse"Status, even moreA natural breeding base for germs。In addition, infection in one gland can be transmitted to other glandular groups, which is a key reason why antibiotics are difficult to do in the long term.
4. Persistent bad eating habits
For example, alcoholism, excessive intake of irritating foods, long-term cycling or sedentary lifestyle, irregular sexual life, etc., can lead to long-term prostate congestion. Once such bad habits are formed,Self-correction is difficult。Even after the symptoms of prostatitis have improved, if you do not consistently improve your lifestyle habits, the disease is often more susceptible**.
5. Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread.
In the process of chronic prostatitis, it is important to consolidate the link. If you neglect an adequate course of treatment, the condition is prone to recurrence. For chronic prostatitis, treatment is usually continued2 to 3 months, and even longer. And after the symptoms disappear,Patients also need to go through a recovery period of three months to six months(or sub-health period). During this period, if you do not pay attention to consolidation**, coupled with various factors in your life, such as drinking, sedentary, etc., may lead to prostatitis**.
Given the diversity and complexity of prostatitis**, to date, there is no specific drug that is effective in controlling the symptoms of chronic prostatitis.
However,Refractory does not mean incurable. The risk of prostatitis depends on the correct perception of the disease, the norms, strict dietary taboos, and a positive and optimistic attitude. On the basis of drugs, combined with individualized, reasonable and targeted non-drug methods, the symptoms of prostatitis can be alleviated and controlled.
Hangzhou Red Cross HospitalIt is the first first-class hospital of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in China. The hospital is located at No. 208 Huancheng East Road, Hangzhou, and its predecessor was Renai Hospital founded by the French Catholic Church nuns in 1928.
The Department of Reproductive Medicine** is one of the important departments of Hangzhou Red Cross Hospital, which is characterized by the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and is committed to the diagnosis and treatment and research of male reproductive health, urinary diseases, and sexually transmitted diseases. The team is composed of a group of experienced experts, who not only provide diagnosis and treatment services for common diseases, such as prostate diseases, urinary tract infections, sexual dysfunction, etc., but also focus on the diagnosis and treatment of some incurable diseases, such as male infertility and sexually transmitted diseases. The department is equipped with advanced medical equipment and can provide accurate diagnosis and treatment services for patients.
In addition, Hangzhou Red Cross Hospital also attaches great importance to scientific research and academic exchanges, actively participates in research projects of diseases at home and abroad, and constantly introduces and promotes new technologies and methods, and strives to make more breakthroughs in diseases.
Director Chen WangqiangGraduated from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, he has studied under Professor Li Haisong, a nationally renowned expert, and Mr. Bao Yanzhong, a national famous Chinese medicine doctor, and is the academic successor of Mr. Bao Yanzhong, who has been engaged in clinical practice for more than ten years. Director Chen Wangqiang synthesized Professor Li Haisong's (prostatitis) long-term disease entry theory and Professor Bao Yanzhong's prostate diagnosis and treatment morphology, and finally summed up a prostate treatment with traditional Chinese medicine"Causative Theory".At the same time, a unique "prostate turbidity" system for chronic prostatitis was also developed. This is a set of self-awareness from the perspective of the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine and surgical diseases, both internal and external treatment, the combination of Chinese and Western, plus some contradictions between modern medicine and the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and finally formed a ** method and ** system.
Director Chen applied his own set of theories to clinical practice, and the results achieved were very gratifying, and the symptoms of many old patients who sought medical treatment everywhere but had no curative effect at all were greatly alleviated. Now Director Chen's outpatient clinic is overcrowded every day, and many patients from all over the world do not hesitate to take a plane or high-speed train to see a doctor on the weekend, and then take a plane or high-speed train back to work again the next day.
