Prostatitis, prostate hyperplasia and prostate cancer are three diseases of the prostate, because the pathogenesis of the three are different, so there is no necessary connection between them. Some unscrupulous hospital doctors, in order to cheat money, often threaten patients: prostatitis or prostate hyperplasia can not be cured will become prostate cancer. This is nonsense, just as you raise a puppy, and then how to raise the majority can not become a wolf, right? Chronic prostatitis is generally considered in the local factors (such as inflammation) or systemic factors (such as: nervousness, psychological factors, systemic plant nervous system dysfunction, etc.), adrenergic stimulation enhancement caused by functional urethral obstruction, urethral hypertonia prompted by the urine reflux into the prostate gland, caused by prostatitis within the infection or immune response. For the treatment of chronic prostatitis, it is generally advocated to take a comprehensive treatment approach, the ultimate goal of the treatment is to alleviate the symptoms and improve the patient’s quality of life, rather than eliminating the inflammation within the prostate (for example, asymptomatic prostatitis is not required to be treated). Specific methods include warm water sitz baths, taking non-steroidal painkillers, adrenergic receptor blockers, taking Chinese herbs, acupuncture and physiotherapy, and herbal retention enemas. It is necessary to point out that: 1, at present there is not any kind of drug or therapy can 100% cure prostatitis, so as a patient do not blindly listen to false advertising, should go to the regular hospital under the guidance of professional doctors to receive comprehensive treatment. 3, nervousness and anxiety and other negative emotions will accelerate the secretion of adrenaline energy, aggravate the urine reflux in the prostate, so that the condition becomes more complex and difficult to be healed, so after suffering from prostatitis must keep cheerful and optimistic good state of mind, which in itself is in the effective blocking of the pathological process of chronic prostatitis. Prostatic hyperplasia, referred to as “BPH”, the cause of the disease is still not very clear, but it can be affirmed that the increase in age and functional testicles are the two necessary conditions for the occurrence and development of the disease. Enlarged prostate and prostate hyperplasia are two different concepts. The vast majority of men after the age of forty will gradually appear physiological prostate enlargement, but the real diagnosis of prostate hyperplasia is only a small portion of them, because prostate hyperplasia not only includes anatomical enlargement of the size of the prostate gland, but also includes the lower urinary tract symptoms of the main clinical symptom group and urodynamics of the bladder outlet obstruction. If only the prostate is enlarged, without any clinical symptoms and pathological changes, it can not be diagnosed as prostatic hyperplasia, and certainly does not require treatment. The main treatments for prostate hyperplasia are: 1. Wait and see. Suitable for the vast majority of patients, if a BPH patient’s lower urinary tract symptoms are mild and the quality of life is less affected, then wait and see is the best choice. 2, take a receptor blocker to improve the lower urinary tract symptoms such as frequent night urination, take 5α reductase inhibitor to inhibit further prostate hyperplasia. 3, take Chinese medicine to identify and treat or take plant preparations. 4.If there is recurrent urinary retention, persistent hematuria, BPH with renal insufficiency, bladder stones, recurrent urinary tract infections, large bladder diverticulum, then surgical resection of the prostate can be considered. It should be noted that not all prostate hyperplasia should be treated surgically, some patients will have complications such as urinary incontinence after surgical treatment, which will cause more pain in their life, so before deciding to have surgery, it is necessary to grasp the surgical indications, and resolutely do not have surgery if you can not have surgery. Prostate cancer, like all malignant tumors, can be classified into two types: primary and secondary. Primary prostate cancer is caused by the gene mutation of normal cells in the prostate tissue induced by certain factors, and it has no inevitable connection with prostatitis and prostate hyperplasia. Prostate cancer may not have any symptoms at the initial stage, and if the cancerous tissue presses on the urethra it may develop symptoms similar to those of prostate hyperplasia, and thus is often misdiagnosed. Serum PSA (i.e. prostate specific antigen) is a highly sensitive indicator for the diagnosis of prostate cancer, and its persistent elevation can provide clinicians with the basis for prostate puncture biopsy, therefore, it is recommended that middle-aged and old-aged men over 50 years old go to the hospital once a year to check the PSA, and once diagnosed with prostate cancer, they should undergo surgery as early as possible, and cooperate with radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
