Presumably, everyone is very concerned about prostatitis, which is a common andrology disease. After the occurrence of this disease, men are extremely harmful. Men should pay attention to the conditioning of this disease, and pay attention to some nursing matters to avoid causing more pain. So, why is prostatitis difficult to cure?
Why is prostatitis difficult to cure?
1、 "Neighborhood" relationships are complex. "The prostate is a glandular organ in the male genitourinary system. From an anatomical position, it is adjacent to the seminal vesicle, vas deferens, ureter, bladder, and rectum. Therefore, prostatitis often secondary to inflammation in other organs of the genitourinary system, often occurring simultaneously with seminal vesiculitis.". Due to the communication between the urethra and the outside world, various bacteria can easily enter the prostate through the urethral orifice and cause infection. Some people do not pay attention to reproductive health; Some people cannot clean themselves up and catch sexually transmitted diseases; Some people suffer from urinary system stones secondary to infection, affecting the prostate; Some people suffer from hemorrhoids, perianal abscesses, etc., which spread to the prostate through lymphatic vessels. Therefore, even if the inflammation of the prostate is treated promptly, it is threatened with reinfection because its neighbors are not very friendly.
2、 "Chronic" is more difficult to treat. Acute prostatitis without timely treatment can evolve into chronic prostatitis, where bacteria are often difficult to completely kill and are prone to "resurgence". In some patients, there are even small stones forming in the prostate, which are generally not easily eliminated by drugs. The obstruction of the gland caused by stones can cause repeated attacks of prostatitis.
3、 The etiology is not yet clear. "Some prostatitis is not caused by bacterial infection, which is called non bacterial prostatitis in medicine. Mycoplasma, chlamydia, or autoimmune diseases may be one of the causes.". If antibiotics are used for treatment, patients will become victims of indiscriminate antibiotic treatment and will not recover for a long time.
4、 "Traveling doctors" treat patients indiscriminately. Due to the difficulty of treating prostatitis, the "traveling doctors" in society have made it possible to take advantage of incorrect and unscientific treatment methods, which not only fail to cure the disease, but even worsen the condition, and bring greater difficulties to future treatment. For example, extensive use of broad-spectrum antibiotics leads to the formation of drug-resistant bacteria, and patients are not sensitive to many drugs, resulting in loss of confidence in regular treatment, causing a prolonged course of disease.
5、 Blindly superstitious about drugs. Some patients are completely dependent on or superstitious about the effects of drugs, but they do not realize that the basis of disease occurrence is a decrease in immunity and resistance. They usually do not pay attention to strengthening physical exercise, do not pay attention to adjusting their life patterns, have excessive sexual activity, burn midnight oil, play mahjong, and drink excessively, which can make it difficult to cure prostatitis.
6、 Neglect sexual partner treatment. Some patients with prostatitis caused by sexually transmitted diseases only know how to see a doctor themselves, ignoring the examination and treatment of their sexual partners, resulting in a vicious cycle of infection treatment re infection re treatment.
7、 Formation of unhealthy psychology. "Some patients with prostatitis have undergone regular treatment for a period of time, but repeated examinations have not found objective inflammatory indicators. Doctors believe that they have been cured, but the patient still feels uncomfortable.". In this case, on the one hand, it may be that the inflammation of the prostate itself has been cured, but there is spasmodic pain in the urethral muscles and pelvic floor muscles adjacent to the prostate, which may be related to local inflammation; On the other hand, it may also be that the patient has been suffering from long-term illness and mental trauma. It takes a long time to completely eliminate symptoms, and if necessary, psychological treatment is required.
