The prostate is a small, insignificant gland, but when it becomes inflamed, it can wreak havoc on a man. Prostatitis can be caused by a bacterial infection or a non-infectious factor. 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. In other words, inflammation causes discomfort in the body rather than bacteria causing discomfort in the body. This is characterized by local pain and discomfort or functional abnormalities of multiple nature centered on the prostate, such as pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen, perineum, testicles, abnormal urination, painful ejaculation, swelling around the anus, sexual dysfunction, etc. Inflammation of the prostate is not necessarily caused by bacterial infection. In fact, the vast majority (over 90%) of chronic prostatitis is not related to bacterial infection. This is the same reason why hepatitis is not necessarily caused by hepatitis virus infection, but can also be caused by a variety of non-infectious factors (such as alcohol, drugs). The majority of the prostatitis patients, long-term, heavy use of antibiotics is not justified, antibiotics have quietly retreated from the “main camp” of chronic prostatitis treatment, becoming no longer important, and even most of the time unnecessary. Clinical practice has proven that it is difficult to obtain satisfactory results with antibiotics alone for bacterial prostatitis. The actual “panacea” is not a cure-all. Many people with untreated chronic prostatitis may have experienced almost similar painful treatment experiences. They are constantly searching for the cause of the disease, looking for new treatments and medications, hoping to say goodbye to prostatitis. These people are often easily swayed by the opinions of others and try to treat them by believing false test results and exaggerated propaganda about the dangers of bacteria, mycoplasma or chlamydia. This approach is not helpful and may also cause you to lose confidence in your doctor and medical technology, making future treatment more difficult and hopeless. In fact, chronic prostatitis as currently diagnosed clinically is not a single disease, but a group of diseases with abnormal urination, pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen and perineum, leukocytosis in the prostate fluid (which can also be normal), and sexual dysfunction. The actual fact is that there is no one “panacea” to cure all types of prostatitis, because the cause, condition, psychological factors, responsiveness to treatment, and knowledge of prostatitis are different for each specific patient. The most important thing is to control the inflammatory response of the prostate and coordinate the functional status of the surrounding tissues and organs, so that most patients can achieve significant improvement in their clinical symptoms. For example, alpha-blockers (cortisol, loxinpine, harlequin, etc.) are used to reduce posterior urethral pressure, antispasmodic drugs (flavone permethrin) to improve the spasticity of pelvic floor muscles, anticholinergic drugs (sernitin) to relieve abnormal urination, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (cortisone, celecoxib, etc.) to reduce inflammation and analgesia, and uric acid-reducing drugs (allopurinol) to reduce chemical irritation of the prostate by urinary reflux. In addition, botanicals (sernitone), intrarectal suppositories (Prostaglandin), antidepressants (Prozac, amitriptyline, etc.), sedative and anti-anxiety medications (fenadrol, valium), and brain-boosting and tranquilizing drugs all have synergistic effects in improving symptoms. Doctors choose the type of drug combination and dosage individually, taking into account the patient’s specific situation. Generally, the use of three to five drugs can bring about rapid relief of clinical symptoms in most patients. Cure cannot be achieved overnight After a period of comprehensive treatment, patients will be very happy when those uncomfortable symptoms improve significantly, but this does not mean that the disease has been cured. The patient must regularly give feedback to the doctor about the effect of the treatment, constantly adjust the treatment medication, and adhere to the treatment for 1 to 2 months to give the prostate a valuable opportunity to recuperate and recover from the changes in local tissue structure and function caused by long-term chronic inflammation, especially abnormalities in immune function. This is a necessary step to consolidate the victory, and must avoid losing everything. In addition, building self-confidence to overcome the disease, changing poor lifestyle, paying attention to protecting the prostate in life, adjusting tension and anxiety, and actively cooperating with the doctor’s examination and treatment can make most patients with persistent chronic prostatitis heal.
