Cases
Mr. Zhang has been very upset recently. During the Chinese New Year, when he was nearly half a century old, he gathered with classmates and friends every day, drank and sang in the evening. After the Spring Festival, he felt a bit strange after urinating, always feeling not pulled clean, sometimes accompanied by a slight pain in the abdomen, and sometimes his underwear dripped wet. After two or three months, he found that his sexual life was not as strong as his heart: sometimes it wasn't hard enough, sometimes it wasn't durable enough, The wife began to doubt whether he was "stealing sleep or missing sleep" outside and gave him a score of failing.
"He was both aggrieved and puzzled, so he turned to his male friend, who said he was too weak and suggested that he should strengthen his body. So he first gave him a medicinal wine that is said to be able to tonify the kidney. Every night, he drank a glass before going to bed, but later found that it did not work. He spent thousands of yuan to buy back a health product, including protein and various vitamins. He only ate health products without breakfast every day. After a month, his symptoms did not improve.".
At the insistence of his wife, he reluctantly entered the Reproductive Andrology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Professor Zhou Shaohu checked his experience report after consultation and found that he did not have prostate hyperplasia. Based on his symptoms, he was suspected of prostatitis. It was recommended to take a prostate fluid test. The result showed that he had four+white blood cells (belonging to severe inflammation). "Give both Chinese and Western medicine treatment, and recommend abstaining from alcohol, going to bed early, and not eating stimulating foods. After two weeks, the symptoms will greatly alleviate, and after one month, the symptoms will completely disappear and return to normal.".
Thirty percent of patients with prostatitis have sexual dysfunction
"Like Mr. Zhang, many people suffer from prostate diseases that are often overlooked. Some people may, based on their friends' experience, say that they may be getting older and have kidney deficiency, so they may take medicinal liquor to supplement or take kidney and yang strengthening drugs." Zhou Shaohu, director of the Reproductive Medicine Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said.
According to a survey, about 35% of young and middle-aged people (aged 20-45) in China have prostate diseases, and prostatitis is the most common, "Among prostate diseases, some people who are older, (excluding benign prostatic hyperplasia), or have a longer course of disease (typically more than three months to six months), or who enjoy unhealthy lifestyle habits such as drinking and smoking, are prone to sexual dysfunction. However, they themselves do not know that the problem lies in the prostate gland, and often think that their physical deficiency needs to be remedied, but in fact, they have entered a treatment error zone." Zhou Shaohu said.
Timely investigate the cause of abnormal urination
He analyzed that there are multiple reasons for the occurrence of prostatitis: bad living habits such as now, when summer comes, many people sweat more but drink less water, drink too much for a long time, sit in the office for too long, causing local genital pressure, or hold urine for a long time are all related to it. He said that the symptoms of the disease can transform from local to systemic, leading to a series of symptoms, such as dysuria, ejaculation, and sexual dysfunction. In severe cases, it can lead to pelvic pain, neurasthenia, dizziness, tinnitus, and low back pain. Reducing the psychological burden can appropriately alleviate the condition.
If you notice frequent and urgent urination, longer waiting times for each urination, interruptions in urination, and feeling like your urine is not clean after pulling, you should seek medical attention in a timely manner. In addition, having sex at an appropriate frequency is beneficial to prostate health, but having too much or too little sex can have adverse effects. For most people, 1-2 times a week is a relatively normal frequency, once a day or only once or twice a month, which are abnormal. Zhou Shaohu said that men should never "sometimes suffocate, sometimes die of fatigue.".
