Myth 1: Pregnant women with asymptomatic bacteriuria should avoid medication.
Common case: Wang, 25+ weeks pregnant, found urine leukocytes ++++ during routine obstetric examination, suspected she had urinary tract infection, but refused to use medication and chose to observe because she did not feel any discomfort and considered the safety of the fetus.
Analysis of the error: When a pregnant woman has an abnormal urine routine, but no symptoms such as urinary frequency and pain, intervention is also necessary. This is because there is a risk of upstream infection developing into acute pyelonephritis if the condition is not treated, and the consequences are often more serious for the pregnant woman and her fetus. Therefore, even during pregnancy, asymptomatic bacteriuria should be treated actively, usually with oral cephalosporin antibiotics for 5-7 days.
Myth 2: The heavier the pain accompanying hematuria, the more serious the disease.
Common case: Zhang, hematuria with painful urine for 3 days, highly suspected that he had a malignant tumor, was extremely depressed and refused to seek medical treatment, but the hematuria disappeared naturally after 1 week, and the painful urine was significantly reduced.
Error analysis: The severity of the disease is definitely not judged by the color of hematuria and the degree of pain. On the contrary, diseases with painful hematuria are often benign, such as acute urinary tract infections and urinary stones, while diseases without pain are often malignant, such as various malignant tumors of the urinary system, which often manifest as intermittent painless hematuria.
Myth 3: Elevated PSA suggests prostate cancer.
Common case: Li, 55 years old, had an elevated prostate cancer specific antigen (PSA) of 8ng/ml (normal value is less than 4ng/ml) during routine physical examination, and the doctor concluded that “prostate cancer cannot be ruled out”.
Error analysis: PSA has become a common indicator in men’s health checkups at major institutions, and it is becoming more and more common for PSA to be elevated above the normal value. The most common is that some older patients have prostate enlargement, so it is normal for the PSA level to be mildly elevated, so there is no need to panic. In addition, if you have a recent urinary tract infection, anal examination operation, etc., the PSA level will also rise.
Myth #4: Medical intervention must be implemented for chronic prostatitis.
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. The patient’s anxiety is getting worse.
The most important thing to do is not to take a look at the actual products, but rather to take a look at the psychological and behavioral treatment based on the medication. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the market for a long time, and they’ve been in the market for a long time. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a couple of days to get a lot more than just a couple of days. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things.
Myth 5: Frequent masturbation will affect the health of the reproductive system.
Common case: Xiao, 18 years old, currently need to masturbate once a day, sometimes even 2-3 times, the patient often brings guilt after masturbation, that will affect the reproductive system health, thus subjectively suppressing their desire to masturbate, resulting in a daily psychological very depressed, life is very painful.
The error analysis: before young people have no sexual partners, reasonable masturbation to give vent to their sexual impulses does not affect the reproductive system health, but will help regulate the endocrine system and increase physical and mental health. As for the appropriate frequency of masturbation, there is no definite conclusion, the standard of each person is not uniform. Generally speaking, you can refer to “20-29 years old, 2×9 = 18, that is, 8 times in 10 days is appropriate; 30-39 years old, 3×9 = 27, that is, 7 times in 20 days is appropriate; 40-49 years old, 4×9 = 36, that is, 6 times in 30 days is appropriate The age of 50-59, 5×9 = 45, i.e. 5 times in 40 days is appropriate; 60-69, 6×9 = 54, i.e. 4 times in 50 days is appropriate” rule to judge, but the current more scientific and reasonable explanation is that as long as the next day does not feel excessively tired, affecting learning and work, then the number of masturbation the previous day is the number of times. The number of times you masturbate the day before is appropriate and reasonable.
The first thing you need to do is to get the best out of it.
Common case: Yang, 35 years old, physical examination found a 2 cm swelling on the left kidney, nervous, strongly recommended the doctor to carry out surgery on it.
Error analysis: Many people think that a swelling on the kidney requires surgery. In fact, among the many kidney masses found in physical examinations, kidney cancer is not the most common, but renal cyst and renal malformation tumor tend to be the most frequent ones. And the vast majority of these two diseases are benign masses. Therefore, don’t be nervous when you see the swelling. If it is consistent with renal cyst or renal malformation tumor after the doctor’s judgment, then it can be reviewed regularly if the diameter is not more than 4 cm, and it doesn’t need to receive surgical treatment.
Myth 7: Circumcision needs to be treated by surgery.
Common case: Zhang, 20 years old, was born with long foreskin, and always felt unsatisfied during sex in the past year, so he strongly requested circumcision.
The error analysis: almost 100% of male babies are born with prepuce, however, when they develop to 3-4 years old, 90% of children will naturally reveal their glans, even if they are unfortunate enough to be the remaining 10%, not all of them need to be treated surgically. If the foreskin can be turned upward by hand to the coronal sulcus, surgery is not required, and even if the foreskin cannot be turned upward, surgery is not required if there are no recurrent urinary tract infections. It is important to emphasize that some men attribute poor sexual satisfaction to circumcision because of long foreskin, which is completely wrong and undesirable. Circumcision only reduces the chances of urinary tract infection and foreskin impaction, but is not a surgical way to improve sexual function at all.
Myth 8: Minimally invasive surgery to remove tumors is not as thorough as open surgery.
Common case: Liu, 33 years old, was found to have a 3 cm occupancy in his left kidney during physical examination.
Error analysis: The biggest advantage of minimally invasive surgery over traditional open surgery is that through the establishment of several minimally invasive channels, the diseased organ can be reached directly without disturbing any surrounding tissue structures, so that the anatomical structure of the organ and its adjacent relationship can be shown very clearly. Coupled with the frontal magnification of the laparoscope, it can make the blood vessels and nerves that are difficult to find in open surgery clearer, so the removal of tissue is safer and the scope of removal is more thorough.
Myth 9: Having sex with a man who takes Viagra is having sex with a pill.
Common case: Du, a 29-year-old woman, visited the male clinic because she found that her husband would take a small blue pill orally before making love, and felt very disappointed that she was not making love with her husband, but only making love with the pill.
Error analysis: penile erectile dysfunction is a frequent confusion of male friends, when this happens, often need to resort to Viagra to complete the process of sex, Viagra’s main role is to make the penile corpus cavernosum expansion of blood, to achieve a full erection of the penis. Therefore, the main effect of Viagra is to physically bring the penis to a length sufficient to reach into the vagina and stimulate the G-spot, rather than to act as a libido enhancer. In other words, without the sexual stimulation of a spouse and adequate foreplay, it is still difficult to have a quality sex life with 100 tablets of Viagra. So the successful sexual process is most dependent on the woman to give the man’s full emotional communication and stimulation induced to complete, not the role of drugs.
Myth 10: Impotence and premature ejaculation are inevitable with age and do not require treatment.
Common case: Lei, a 58-year-old man, recently had erectile dysfunction with premature ejaculation when having sex with his wife, resulting in his wife’s poor satisfaction with sex, Lei thought that as he got older, his sexual function naturally declined, so he refused to go to the hospital for treatment and did not know how to improve.
The error analysis: impotence and premature ejaculation do have a relationship that increases with age, especially at the node of 50 years old, over 50 years old patients have organic changes in penile blood vessels, and thus the chance of impotence and premature ejaculation is greatly increased. However, it is important not to refuse treatment because of this, in fact, it is necessary for men in this period to receive complementary medication (Viagra for impotence and Sertraline for premature ejaculation). The survey found that men over 50 years of age were much more satisfied with the improvement in erectile function and ejaculation time than their younger counterparts, and that satisfactory erectile and ejaculatory function can bring comfort to the spouse and contribute to the harmony of the couple’s relationship, while also enhancing the man’s self-confidence, which in turn is beneficial to the overall physical and mental health and the overall quality of life of the male friend. The improvement of the overall quality of life of male friends is very beneficial.
