Reprinted from Life Times Expert: Guo Yinglu Male Member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, leader of the new generation of urology and male science in China. He is currently the honorary president of Peking University First Hospital and the director of Peking University Male Disease Prevention and Treatment Center. What is male medicine Academician Guo Yinglu introduced to the reporter: “Urology includes 3 parts – adrenal gland, urinary system, and reproductive system. Male medicine refers to the male reproductive system, in terms of organs, including the testicles, seminal vesicles, prostate, vas deferens, urethra, penis, etc. Where these organs have a physical defect, or have a problem, it is called a male disease, such as prostatitis, ED (erectile dysfunction) and infertility. Of course, the above is the definition of the physiological aspects, in fact, male diseases and human psychology is also closely related, for example, ED is psychogenic, mainly caused by psychological factors, these are also within the scope of male diseases.” Xie Guangjing, Department of Urology, Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University Male hospitals do not live up to their names Guo Yinglu academician also pointed out that many male hospitals in society now do not live up to their names. “The actual fact is that a lot of men’s hospitals are basically treating venereal diseases, some of them plus infertility, and a good number of men’s hospitals can also treat prostatitis. The majority of hospitals can not cure prostate cancer, testicular cancer such as the disease, because they lack a real specialist physician, so they are not really male hospital.” Although male hospitals have a limited range of treatment, as long as they can truthfully explain the situation to the patient, persuading the patient to go to other hospitals will not delay others. However, many current men’s hospitals often seize patients for reasons such as profit, so much so that they endanger the health of patients and harm their interests. The cat’s meow in the male hospital So, how exactly do bad male hospitals cheat patients? Through reader reports and expert presentations, we summarized the following 3 features. The first is the redundant examination, found prostatitis. The reporter met a Mr. Lin in the male center of the North University Hospital, he is to do circumcision. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot of people to do this. That hospital said that the prostate fluid should be tested first and then the ultrasound should be done. “They said I had inflammation and had to cure prostatitis before circumcision, otherwise it would be easy to get infected. After a few days of infusion, it cost out tens of thousands of dollars. I was not sure, so I came here.” In response, Academician Guo Yinglu said, “Generally before circumcision, you are checked for HIV and hepatitis virus infection, which is enough for a total of a few hundred dollars. As long as there are no serious symptoms, there is no need to check for prostatitis at all.” Professor Li Hongjun also said that it is generally not easy to do prostate fluid examination, “the examination is not pleasant, do not do well, it is easy to damage the prostate.” Second, exaggerate the condition to earn medical expenses. 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. He is worried that the cost is too high to afford, but does not dare to stop the treatment rashly, because the hospital experts said: “Prostatitis is impossible to eradicate, once the condition worsens, it will cause erectile dysfunction, which will lead to infertility and eventually become prostate cancer.” In response, Academician Guo Yingluo said, “There is no clear evidence that prostatitis must produce those three hazards.” Professor Li Hongjun said, “The impossibility of eradicating prostatitis is misleading, because this disease is like a cold, throat inflammation, caused by many factors, easy to recur, but by no means incurable.” Some male hospitals will also exaggerate the dangers of circumcision. The actual fact is that some doctors don’t look at the actual harm of circumcision and suggest cutting it off, but also make a strong propaganda circumcision can cause penile cancer in serious cases. In fact, only circumcised patients have a higher chance of getting penile cancer. As long as the foreskin does not affect the functions and development, there is no need to do surgery. It is enough to pay attention to personal hygiene and clean the foreskin.” Thirdly, conceal the truth and treat haphazardly. Infertility is a major disease that currently plagues men, but not all infertility can be treated. Professor Li Hongjun said, “Some infertility patients have small testicles, which has two possibilities. One is that the testicles have a congenital defect, and the other is that the testicles have a bad growth environment. For the latter, can be cured by improving the growth environment, two months 500 yuan medical expenses even if expensive; for the former, there is no way to cure. 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. Why do male hospitals have a big crossover Since those bad male hospitals cheat money and cheat people, why are there so many people going to the “field”? In order to find out, the reporter recently came to the Xidan, Wangfujing, Taiping Road near the three male hospitals for an unannounced visit. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers. In these male hospitals on both sides of the door, have been hung with brass, iron plaques, which read “so-and-so Bureau of cooperation units”, “so-and-so Institute of certification institutions” and so on. These “brand names” can be described as full weight, even if you do not believe in the hospital, you must also believe in these authoritative institutions. But according to Guo Yinglu academician, some of these brands are real, some are fake, and some are paid to “invite”. Experts sitting in the hall, a huge lineup. “There are many men’s hospitals that have even hung my photo and introduction, saying that I am there to give a consultation, but they have not even greeted me beforehand.” Guo Yinglu academician said, “Some hospitals are even more outrageous, out of the clinic expert position used my, but the gender changed to ‘female’, the photo also changed to other people. There are also some visiting doctors, he is indeed the chief physician, but only of internal medicine, or general surgery, and is not a male specialist physician.” The company’s main goal is to provide a comprehensive range of products and services to the public. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of money for the actual money. In these male hospitals, the nurses are a beautiful landscape. 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. Medical records and test sheets are not held by the patients, they will help you hand them to the doctor or help desk. So, while the men were intoxicated by the feeling that “the customer is God”, they did not realize that, except for the payment receipt, any other records about their condition, test results and treatment process were always in the hospital’s hands. Guo Yinglu academician said: “These hospitals also have people who specialize in dispute resolution, in case of problems, most of them do not want to cause trouble, will take the initiative to negotiate with the patient, accompanied by some money, a big thing to make it small, small things.” And patients also think that their “disease” is not very honorable, do not want to voice. In these male hospitals, the reporter found that both the television used for entertainment, or a variety of imported medical instruments, everything is available. 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. “We are trying to improve.” Academician Guo Yinglu said, “For example, the condition of the male center of Peking University Hospital is not worse than those hospitals.” Multiple channels to enhance publicity. Whether it is roadside billboards, or television, radio, newspaper advertisements, are to “show” people the major men’s hospitals for men’s “care and first-class treatment technology”. Some hospitals even spared no expense, “concession” service, free examination, treatment fee discount; some advertisements and medical information programs constantly spread the message of “male diseases are dangerous, must be treated as soon as possible”. The reporter also saw a lot of “popular propaganda column” on the wall of a number of male hospitals, which are full of the hazards of prostatitis, the hazards of circumcision and other “alarming” content. In this environment, how can men not panic, how can not honestly pay money to see the doctor? The knowledge of male medicine is not popular enough. The actual fact that there are many misconceptions about male diseases, plus the psychological pressure brought on by the “face of men”, makes a number of bad male hospitals take advantage of the situation. The reporter encountered a patient in the male clinic of Beijing Union Hospital, who asked the doctor to give him an operation to treat prostatitis with a sad face. 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 actual fact is that the actual person is not convinced. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on this. Not responsible, quack! It’s a crying shame.” How to deal with male diseases Once you have a male disease, how to deal with it? Academician Guo Yingluo said, “First of all, you should go to the male department or urology department of a large reliable hospital for diagnosis to determine where the specific problem is and then decide how to treat it. Normally, men should learn some male knowledge through various means to prevent disease without disease and not to worry too much about it with disease. Of course, the source of knowledge should be as reliable as possible.” Of course, “more hope that the government can further standardize the male hospital, as soon as possible to implement the training and certification system for male specialists, unified development and publication of authoritative male disease treatment guidelines, so that China’s male health to a higher level.
