Data show that about 50% of men will be affected by
prostatitis at some time in their life. Especially in young men, it is a high incidence population of prostatitis.
As such a disease that most men can't avoid, you might as well learn some false rumors about it in advance.
Rumor 1: masturbation can cause prostatitis
Masturbation is a kind of standard sexual behavior, which is common in men after puberty. Unmarried men can relieve psychological depression or physical satisfaction through masturbation, which does not affect their health. For long-term separated couples, masturbation can alleviate sexual pressure and avoid extramarital sexual relations.
However, too frequent masturbation will make the reproductive organs in a congested state, causing discomfort. At the same time, it is conducive to bacterial invasion and prostatitis. Moderate masturbation is conducive to the emptying of prostate fluid without harm and will not cause prostatitis.
Therefore, whether masturbation will affect prostate health, the key is the problem of "degree."
Rumor 2: prostatitis is a venereal disease and can be infected
Sexually transmitted diseases refer to diseases transmitted through sexual behavior. Common are gonorrhea, syphilis, condyloma acuminatum, herpes, chancre, pubic lice, etc. The main reason is unclean sexual contact, and the vast majority of prostatitis do not belong to sexually transmitted diseases and will not be transferred to women.
However, some prostatitis is caused by gonococcal, mycoplasma, chlamydia, trichomonas, or fungal infection, which should be included in the scope of sexually transmitted diseases. These pathogens can be transferred to women through sexual life, causing various vaginitis.
Therefore, avoid sexual life in the early stage of treatment. The woman should also do an examination. If the woman also has an infection, she should take medicine at the same time. Due to the clear etiology and targeted drugs, the therapeutic effects are ideal. Having sex after treatment will not be infected.
Rumor 3:
chronic prostatitis can cause prostate cancer
Many people worry that "chronic prostatitis will lead to prostate cancer if they can not receive treatments for a long time." However, from the current research, this concern is groundless.
Chronic prostatitis does not affect testicular androgen secretion or hormone metabolism, so it will not cause prostate cancer. At present, there is no evidence that patients with chronic prostatitis are more likely to get prostate cancer than ordinary people.
Rumor 4: chronic prostatitis will affect sexual function
Theoretically, chronic prostatitis can not directly damage the sexual function of patients. However, the symptoms and discomfort caused by inflammatory stimulation will affect patients' sexual interest and sexual psychology. Received the wrong guidance of abstinence, or if the disease is not cured for a long time, it will have a certain adverse impact on sexual function and even cause psychological erectile dysfunction.
However, the sexual function of many patients with chronic prostatitis is not affected at all. Moreover, as long as there are not many bacteria in the acute attack or prostate fluid, maintaining a moderate sexual life is conducive to the regression of inflammation and reduces recurrence.
Therefore, patients with chronic prostatitis should not have any psychological pressure. They should correctly understand their condition, maintain good sexual psychology, learn relevant sexual medicine knowledge, and receive psychological counseling when necessary.
Rumor 5: chronic prostatitis can lead to infertility
On the one hand, many people equate the sexual dysfunction caused by chronic prostatitis with infertility. On the other hand, to make profits, some illegal medical institutions deliberately exaggerate their condition and alarmist, saying that chronic prostatitis will affect fertility.
Whether chronic prostatitis will affect fertility is inconclusive. Some patients have severe symptoms of prostatitis, but they can still have children. Theoretically, chronic prostatitis can reduce the survival and fertility of sperm by affecting prostatic fluid, thus affecting fertility. But in practice, the sexual function and fertility of most patients are normal.
Therefore, there is no need to be too nervous as long as you can safely and formally accept the treatment of prostatitis, and the vast majority of chronic prostatitis can be cured.
The treatment of chronic prostatitis is mainly drug treatment. Patients need to go to the hospital to check the routine of prostate liquid. If the test result is chronic bacterial prostatitis, they need to do prostate culture further and then choose more sensitive antibiotics for oral treatment, and the effect will be better.
If the test result is chronic nonbacteria prostatitis, the patient can take herbal medicine, like
Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, for treatment.
In daily life, patients also need to do a good job in life care. They need to quit spicy and stimulating food, avoid long-term sedentary, and control the frequency of masturbation and sexual life. Also, adhering to warm water hip baths also improves chronic prostatitis.
