To understand prostatitis, we must first understand what is prostate. The prostate is the largest accessory gonad in the reproductive organs, with a transverse diameter of 4 cm at the bottom, a longitudinal diameter of 3 cm, and a front and back diameter of 2 cm. The shape is like a cone, which is described as chestnut. The prostate fluid it secretes is an important component of sperm. The so-called prostatitis refers to acute or chronic inflammation caused by non-specific infection of the prostate, which can cause local and systemic symptoms. Let's see how prostatitis is.
Why do men cause prostatitis?
1. Age factor. The older you are, the higher your chance of developing prostate cancer.
2. Genetic factors. People with prostate cancer in their blood relatives have a higher chance of getting prostate cancer than ordinary people. In other words, about 9% of prostate cancer patients have a family history.
3. Hormone elements. Most prostate cancer cells have male hormone receptors on their surface. Without the stimulation of male hormones, prostate cancer cells will shrink and degenerate. It can be said that the more men secrete hormones, the more chance they will suffer from prostate cancer. Therefore, people who have been castrated or testicular dysplasia since childhood will not get prostate cancer, but I believe that no man is willing to use this price to get away from prostate cancer.
4. Dietary factors. If you take something rich in fatty acids in your daily diet, please pay attention. Saturated fatty acids are inducers of prostate cancer.
5. Infection factors. Long-term and chronic bacterial and viral infections have greatly increased the number of visits to prostate cancer.
Symptoms of prostatitis
1. Pain: the posterior urethra has burning sensation and ant movement. Pain in the perineum and anus can radiate to the lumbosacral region, groin, suprapubic region, penis, testicle, etc., and occasionally to the abdomen.
2. Urinary symptoms: inflammation affects the urethra. Patients have mild frequent urination, urgency and pain in urination. Some patients have no hematuria. Mucus or purulent secretion can be discharged from the urethra before urination or during defecation in the morning
3. Physiological dysfunction: it may include loss of libido, impotence, premature ejaculation, ejaculation pain, increased number of ejaculation, etc. Some patients have blood sperm or sperm motility decreased due to inflammation of the spermatic duct, resulting in infertility.
4. Symptoms of neurasthenia: the patient does not have a correct understanding of the disease or cannot be cured for a long time, which may lead to depression, weakness, insomnia, etc.
