1. Men should be open about seeing a doctor for prostate diseases.
Many men or their spouses may believe that prostate diseases are mostly caused by lack of personal hygiene or bad living habits, so once symptoms appear, they often seek medical help randomly and always hope to get cured quickly to avoid affecting marital feelings and family harmony. There are many causes of prostatitis, especially among young and middle-aged men in modern society, who are more likely to develop prostatitis due to stress, irregular lifestyles, prolonged sitting pressure, and other unhealthy living habits. This has little to do with personal moral factors as traditionally recognized, so men don't need to have any psychological burden and should confidently seek medical attention.
2. Prostatitis treatment requires a certain course of treatment.
The prostate is wrapped in a thick lipid capsule, making it difficult for many drugs to penetrate the capsule and directly enter the gland, failing to form the drug concentration needed to eliminate inflammation. Therefore, bacteria and pathogens cannot be quickly eradicated, and the inflammation naturally cannot subside rapidly. In addition, the prostate ducts are densely distributed and long. Under inflammatory conditions, the ducts can easily become blocked, making it difficult for inflammatory secretions to be normally discharged, leading to the massive reproduction and regeneration of bacteria and viruses, increasing the difficulty of treatment. This tells us that when treating chronic prostatitis, we must not rush for quick results.
Chronic prostatitis mainly adopts a systematic therapy with cavity intervention, and the course of treatment generally lasts from 1 to 3 months, and sometimes even longer. Therefore, patients must be patient during treatment and meet the scientific treatment cycle.
3. Subsequent consolidation treatment should not be ignored.
In diagnosis and treatment, there are often such patients: they refuse further treatment once clinical symptoms are significantly reduced or disappear. In fact, the subjective feelings of patients often do not match objective examinations, and chronic prostatitis may recur once the conditions are ripe. Therefore, subsequent consolidation treatment should not be overlooked.
After prostate patients are cured, although the pathogens in the prostate have been completely eliminated in a short period, this does not mean that the damage to the prostate tissue caused by infection has been fully repaired. During the recovery period of the disease, the prostate may often be in a sub-healthy state for a relatively long time, making it easier than normal people to be re-infected with pathogens or cause significant congestion of the prostate again, leading to the recurrence of prostatitis symptoms. Therefore, for patients with prostatitis, consolidation treatment should be given after the symptoms of prostatitis disappear to fundamentally improve the immunity of the prostate and enhance the disease resistance of the prostate.
