Just as women are often troubled by gynecological inflammation, men frequently encounter prostatitis, a male disease. Prostatitis is a common illness, not a serious one, but in recent years, there have always been some people with ulterior motives who take advantage of men's emphasis on sexual function. They like to talk about prostatitis, portraying it as a hidden male ailment and exaggerating its harm to the human body - as if men will inevitably suffer from impotence and infertility once they get prostatitis.
Experts introduce that most cases of prostatitis do not affect physiological functions. Currently, when we refer to prostatitis, we mainly mean chronic prostatitis, which is a very common chronic disease among men. Gao Xingcheng introduced that among the patients visiting the urology department of the hospital, about one-third are prostatitis patients, with the main group being middle-aged and young adults. Among the population, one-third of men will suffer from prostatitis at some point in their lives.
What are the causes of prostatitis?
We still don't know its exact cause, but it could be due to bacteria from the urinary and reproductive tracts invading the prostate tissue, causing reactive hyperemia and swelling of the prostate tissue, leading to some symptoms such as discomfort in the perineum and painful urination. In fact, this pathological change in the prostate tissue often occurs when the body's immunity is low. When the body's resistance improves, some prostatitis patients can recover on their own.
Prostatitis is not the "culprit" behind male infertility, yet it has caused panic among men regarding prostatitis. However, early examination for the treatment of prostatitis should be conducted, and it should not be left untreated.
