Why is chronic prostatitis compared to a man’s “cold” A: The modern consensus on prostatitis is that prostatitis is too difficult to cure, and some exaggerate it as a “non-cancerous incurable disease”, resulting in people talking about “prostatitis”. In fact, prostatitis is similar to the human body’s respiratory system, often “cold” only, timely intervention, can be cured. If not timely medical intervention, similar to the “bronchitis, pneumonia, emphysema, tuberculosis,” the same, the emergence of spermatitis, chronic prostate duct inflammation, prostate fibrosis, prostate cysts, prostate stones, ejaculatory duct inflammation, ejaculatory duct obstruction dilation, seminal vesiculitis, and so on. Therefore, we can jokingly call “prostatitis” as “prostate cold”. The reason for comparing prostatitis and colds is that they have the same features: A. Recurrence: colds occur many times in a person’s life, and may occur several times a year, and chronic prostatitis is also the same, such as drinking alcohol, cold and other factors, chronic prostatitis is even more likely to recur than colds. B. The severity of the disease: both are generally not life-threatening, but only cause discomfort, but more or less caused by the patient’s quality of life, just the cold symptoms on the upper side, in the upper respiratory tract, prostatitis symptoms on the lower side, in the genitourinary tract. C. Prognosis: all can be clinically controlled, no longer have a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, the condition of mild can even be cured without drugs. D. Preventive: the same cold, some people cold, some people as if nothing happened, such as the same addiction to spicy stimulation, some people prostate will develop, some people will not develop, so usually to actively exercise, to keep the body and mind in the best state, prostatitis is also can be prevented before the disease. E. and cold correlation: the body’s immune system and the development of prostatitis has a correlation. For example, colds and chills may trigger prostate disease, thus, men need to do more exercise to improve body resistance and avoid colds and chills. People tend not to care about colds and fevers (respiratory tract inflammation), and generally do not worry about not being able to cure them, but when it comes to the prostate gland (if there is one), it’s a completely different story: Oh, I have prostatitis, it’s not going to be able to be cured, it’s going to affect my sexuality, and I won’t be able to have children, and I’ll be scared to death. Why do people treat the two so differently? The main reason is that most people have seen too many advertisements and listened to too many radio experts. The fact is that the actual prostatitis symptoms will be magnified and aggravated by the fear, and if you meet with a bad doctor, and then a very “professional” scare you, well, it’s over, and carry a heavy burden of thought. The actual fact is, prostatitis and respiratory tract inflammation are not both inflammation? In addition to one is above, one is below, essentially no difference, why can’t you “equalize the prostate (inflammation)”? Since it is an inflammation, then treat it, there is no need to put a “very serious” big hat, so, only harm, no benefit. The reason for this is that prostatitis is difficult to cure and is prone to recurrence. You’ll be able to get a cold once in your life, but you’ll be able to get a cold once in your life. Does the second cold have anything to do with the first? Similarly, the prostate is a part of the human body and can become inflamed many times in a lifetime. Why do you have to think that this prostatitis is the result of another attack of prostatitis that was not cured? Why don’t you think of it as a second “cold”? Therefore, prostatitis is not incurable, but just like a cold or fever, it can happen many times in a lifetime. There is absolutely no need to carry a heavy psychological burden because of the fact that prostatitis cannot be cured. If you have prostatitis, please go to the doctor as if you have a cold or fever, it’s not a big deal. In short, please treat the prostate equally!
