A man is like a car.

"Men are like cars." This means that without regular maintenance, a car will eventually require extensive repairs. Similarly, men's reproductive health requires regular check-ups and maintenance akin to automobile servicing. As we approach the 28th of October, which marks the ninth national "Men's Health Day," urologists are again urging men to be more vigilant about self-protection and calling for society as a whole to show greater concern for men's health.

### Men Are Cars, and When They Break Down, They Need Repair

#### Fault One: Engine Failure vs Prostate Diseases

The engine is the power unit of a car, consisting of the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism, valve train, fuel supply system, lubrication system, cooling system, ignition system, and starting device. 90% of car problems stem from engine wear. Maintaining a car hinges on minimizing this wear. Similarly, the prostate is the largest accessory gland in men. Positioned in front of the bladder, it is called the "prostate." Known as the "life gland" for men, the prostate functions much like an engine. When it malfunctions, it can even lead to the "paralysis" of the male reproductive system! According to WHO statistics, approximately 35-40% of young and middle-aged men suffer from prostatitis, with the incidence rate reaching over 60% for men aged 50 and above. It has become the "number one killer" of male health.

**Symptoms and Dangers:** Frequent urination, painful urination, incomplete emptying of the bladder, thin urine stream, difficulty urinating, frequent nighttime urination, white discharge from the urethra, urinary retention, lower abdominal pain, testicular pain, perineal heaviness, lower back pain, and reduced physiological function. If left untreated, it can lead to reduced physiological function, premature ejaculation, painful ejaculation, decreased semen quality, infertility, and epididymitis.

**Linyi Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital** - The only hospital in Linyi region collaborating with national urology and reproductive health technology.

**ZRL-II-A Type Targeted Intelligent Cavity Intervention Therapy System** - Completely solves prostate issues.

Certified by ISO Quality Management System and EU CE.

**Treatment Features:** Precise targeting, safe, reliable, non-invasive, painless, thorough cure, low recurrence rate, no after-effects.

**Innovative Design:** Through specially designed catheters equipped with electrodes—closed circuits formed by prostatic fluid and infused medication. Using high-frequency electromagnetic fields, upper and lower balloons on the electrode catheter are positioned at the bladder and urethra, forming a closed cavity.

**Rapid Bactericidal Effect:** Under the effect of high-frequency magnetic fields and oscillations, bactericidal drugs are directly introduced into the deeper parts of the lesion, increasing tissue cell permeability and activating drug activity to quickly eliminate pathogenic microorganisms, which are then continuously flushed out of the body.

**Immune Regulation:** Activates the immune function of the body, gathering large amounts of immune cells to enhance the ability to engulf pathogenic microorganisms and regulate immune balance.

**Restoration of Function:** While inflammation disappears, blocked ducts are cleared, allowing swollen glands to recover. It also uniquely activates sexual gland cell activity and regulates sexual nerves, comprehensively restoring sexual function.

#### Fault Two: Accelerator Malfunction vs Erectile Dysfunction

The accelerator controls the speed of a car. When you want to increase speed, stepping on the accelerator achieves it instantly. However, when the accelerator malfunctions, driving safety becomes a significant issue. A man's sexual function is like a car's accelerator; once there’s dysfunction, it can lead to various adverse effects.

Clinical data from Eurasia shows that among males aged 35 and above, about 60% experience varying degrees of functional disorders. 50% have purely organic causes, 30% purely psychological, and 20% both organic and psychological causes. Immediate solutions are needed.

**Symptoms and Dangers:**

1. **Sexual Desire Disorders:** Low libido, aversion to sex, or excessive sexual desire.

2. **Erectile Disorders:** Erectile dysfunction, abnormal erection of the penis.

3. **Ejaculation Disorders:** Delayed time, retrograde ejaculation, bloody semen, pus-filled semen.

4. **Sensory Disorders:** Commonly manifested as pain during intercourse, excitement point disorders. If not treated promptly, it can lead to reduced male physiological function, premature aging, insomnia, forgetfulness, depression, etc.

**Penile Dorsal Nerve Block Surgery** - Professionally addresses male erectile dysfunction (ED).

**Minimally Invasive Surgical Method:** Reduces penile head sensitivity, enhances ejaculatory stimulation, prolongs the latent period of ejaculation, and improves the patient's sexual quality of life. It is currently the preferred treatment method for patients with premature ejaculation.

**Traditional Therapy Drawbacks:**

1. Sensate Focus Training: Typically used to treat sexual dysfunction, but due to the need for long-term spousal cooperation and uncertain efficacy, it is difficult to complete the treatment cycle.

2. Oral Anti-depressant Medication for Premature Ejaculation: Effective rate is around 50%, with frequent side effects requiring comprehensive evaluation of pros and cons in clinical use.

3. Topical Skin Application: Difficult to control dosage, insufficient effect with low dosage, high dosage may cause excessive local anesthesia, often leading to sexual pleasure disorders or erectile dysfunction.

**Penile Dorsal Nerve Block Surgery:**

To overcome these defects, urologists developed the "penile dorsal nerve block surgery." By blocking the penile dorsal nerve, it reduces penile head sensitivity, increases the threshold for ejaculation, thereby extending the duration of sexual activity. Linyi Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital has been performing this surgery for many years, successfully treating nearly a thousand cases with an effectiveness rate of 98%. The technical operation level is highly mature, with no postoperative complications.

**Principle of Surgery:** The sensory pathway of the penis starts from the skin, head, urethra, and already sponge-like body within the penis, emitting nerve fibers that merge to form the penile dorsal nerve bundle. Other nerve fibers become the pudendal nerve, then ascend through the sacral nerve roots to the spinal cord. After activation of receptors, the pain, temperature, and touch information is transmitted via the penile dorsal nerve, pudendal nerve, spinal cord, and spinothalamic tract to the hypothalamus and cortex for perception. Upon contact with stimuli, neural impulses from the penile skin and head are transmitted through the penile dorsal nerve, initiating and maintaining reflexive penile erection. Therefore, after ultra-minimally invasive penile dorsal nerve block surgery, penile head sensitivity decreases, enhancing ejaculatory stimulation, prolonging the latent period of ejaculation, and improving the patient's sexual quality of life.

**Advantages:**

1. **Prolonged Sexual Activity:** Achieves extended sexual activity time without affecting pleasure, with 87.5% of patients able to extend sexual activity beyond 10 minutes.

2. **Fast Recovery:** Generally, sexual activity can resume after one month. No rest required post-surgery, with small incisions (generally 1-2 cm), using catgut sutures, almost no damage, ensuring postoperative aesthetics.

3. **Safe Surgery:** The surgery has been used for many years at Linyi Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital, operated by authoritative experts, with mature technical levels ensuring surgical success rates.

4. **Preservation of Male Fertility:** The surgery involves making a very shallow incision at the coronal groove without harming the testicles or reproductive ducts, thus not affecting male fertility.
