According to statistics from major hospitals, prostatitis accounts for about 25% to 30% of outpatient diseases in the department of urology. Among the patients seeking consultation, managers, factory directors, and other management positions account for 60% to 70%.
The prostate, as the name suggests, is an exocrine gland of the human body, like glands such as the parotid gland and pancreas. It is a male specific reproductive organ.
As the main accessory gonad of men, the prostate gland can develop different diseases at different stages of development. In childhood, the prostate develops slowly and rarely occurs, but acute and chronic prostatitis and other diseases can also occur, but the incidence rate is very low. From young adults to middle and old age, the incidence rate of prostate diseases increases rapidly, but the types of incidence vary with different stages.
In young adulthood, the main diseases that are prone to occur in the prostate are acute and chronic prostatitis. The reason for this is that young adulthood is a period of vigorous sexual function in men, with frequent sexual activity. Stimulation by sexual excitement can easily lead to repeated congestion of the prostate and induce inflammation; Secondly, it is also because this period is the most vigorous period of prostate secretion, providing good conditions for the growth of bacteria.
If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene, low body resistance, or other parts of the infection, pathogens can enter the prostate, forming acute and chronic inflammation. In old age, testicular function deteriorates, hormone level decreases, incidence rate of prostatitis decreases, and incidence rate of benign prostatic hyperplasia increases significantly. The majority of management personnel in enterprises are young and middle-aged. In addition, most of them have irregular lives, have many opportunities to go out, and many people drive their own cars. Even in the office, they also spend more time sitting, which can easily cause prostatitis. Therefore, management personnel should pay special attention to prevention.
